Great , Fun Movie

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2015)

I went to see the new Avengers movie the opening weekend. There was a packed theater and you could feel the excitement. I heard many Ooos and AHss during the movie as well as laughter during the funny moments. I liked the movie not only for the obvious content but also for the many surprises and "Easter eggs" spread around for the comic book fans. I was very happy that the X-Mens Magnetos children, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were in it. Marvel was not allowed to call them mutants in the movie by agreement with Fox studios. Their first appearance in the comic books were in the Uncanny X-Men #4 back in 1963.I felt this was a fantastic move in the right direction for the marvel universe. Fans even got to see the high rise building under construction that was used on the cover of the Fantastic Four # 26 when the FF teamed up with the Avengers to fight the Hulk. So, those seemingly small things put in by marvel put in throughout the movie is the reason some critics rated the movie average as opposed to those who rated it great; many people simply did not understand what was going on in the plot or in the background, hence causing confusion and in some cases even disappointment. Why does marvel do this? Because they are confident telling their stories in their own way. And marvel of course, set up the next Avengers movie by showing a villain a few minutes into the final credits. In closing, I recommend seeing this movie at the theater as soon as possible and maybe even watching it again at a later date to absorb it all.
