The Avengers: The Product of 5 Years of Waiting

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2012)

2008, and we were teased with noting but Samuel L. Jackson saying "I'm here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative" in Iron Man.
Fast forward though Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America. Now here we are in 2012, people had doubts about The Avengers, but those people are wrong.
First off, I got to see Avengers at midnight release here in Canada, and the energy was terrific. Everyone was excited, and everyone was respectful of staying quiet during the movie. We couldn't help it however, when laughs came up because The Avengers is hilarious. The jokes are very well written. Tony Stark is his usual self, and Cap is now trying to adjust to modern day. Thor, being from Asgard is also confused by some of our customs and sayings, and example being when Nick Fury refers to Loki and his "trained monkeys", and Thor questions what monkeys are.
Joss Whedon wrote and directed this movie to a wonderful extent. He knew every turn and plot point he wanted for the movie, and there's no better way this movie could've turned out.
I can't describe the great joy I feel from seeing this movie, and once is not enough. I could go on and on about it, the acting, the fight scenes, Mark Ruffalo being the best Hulk/Bruce Banner yet and how I, without exaggeration, had a smile the entire movie, but it's something you must experience for yourself.
Enjoy! I highly, HIGHLY, recommend this movie.
