Fourth Time Lucky?

Rating: 1/10 (27 July 2014)

When this movie was first about to hit theatres, I won tickets to go to see the advance preview. Unfortunately/fortunately, I choose the latter, I was not able to attend as I wasn't in the region of the preview at the time....THANK GOD! because if I had had a whole days sleep, woke up and attended this movie I still would have fallen asleep watching this drivel. I have attempted, and I emphasis the word attempted, to watch this movie three times before I was able to watch it in full finally after a fourth attempt. I fail to see how this movie scored so damn high....I could literally put a bunch of chimps into a room and they could write a script at the absolute least two times better than this movie. I could also think of more fun activities to do instead of watching this, for example: stabbing two pencils into my eyes and moving them around for the duration of this film....exaggerated....yeah well so is this film and the hype that surrounds it. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate Joss Whedon and his works e.g. Buffy (Brilliant) and Dollhouse (inspired) but this movie was an absolute miss, why people rave and rate this movie good baffles me (I had to say this again because I just can't work it out). No character development, and yes I get that you don't really need that as they all have their own individual movies (so I recommend just watching them) and why put the black widow in here, did she even use powers?? all I saw was her using pistols, was she supposed to appeal and be empowering to the female audience?? cause if so I missed that memo, and the fact that there was so much CGI use they don't need that, they are superheroes for Pete's sake SUPERHEROES! and don't even get me started on the amount of fighting, yay fun, its an action, but some was just pointless, where on earth do I even need to put any thought into this movie let alone see what the heck is going on cause the explosions and gunshots are so distracting, I think I have literally put more thought into writing this review than the amount of thought running through my mind whilst watching this movie. Pretty sure my IQ dropped even knowing about, let alone attempting to watch it this many times. What can I say, I'm a trier. I'm giving this movie a 1/10 I would give it a zero but I felt the scene at the very end of the credits when all the heroes are sitting in the diner with the bored tired looks on their faces depicted exactly how I felt after watching this movie. Plus I can't rate it zero.. Don't watch it, and if you do don't say I didn't try save you 2 hours and 23 minutes of your life.
