BB / TDK not withstanding, (to me those 2 are drama/action/thrillers that happen to include a guy with a costume)"The Avengers" is the best super hero movie ever. ...or in other words: This is the best superhero movie ever. And that's because it is the best superhero movie EVER. Script:9, DP:9, Sets:9, Directing:10, Acting:8, Editing:10, FX:10, Score:9, Sound Design:8, Fun:1000. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. There are so many levels of ass-kicking in this movie i cannot begin to describe them. I think i barely blinked for the first act of the movie, stopped breathing altogether during the second act only to have my eyeballs drop and my ears explode for the third act, which made me go AAAAWWWW EEEEHHH OOHHHHH UUUUU and loads of AHAHHAAAHHHAA. At one point i was actually using my t-shirt to wipe teardrops off my face i was laughing so hard. I actually cannot remember the last time i had so much fun at the movies. If you are a comics / superhero or even just a general movie fan, this one is a must-see. Joss Weadon just made himself the uber-god of geek Olympus. Now somebody please give him a billion dollars and let him work his magic on the next 2 installments.
