Very Good

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2013)

I do not follow the Marvel comic empire's characters all that much but I really enjoyed this movie. It seemed a little over the top until I remembered it is all nothing but movie make believe. The stealth cloaked, VTOL air ship was kind of cool and the special effects were, what can I say, special. I was a little put off with the Samuel Jackson portrayal of Nick Fury. His character was cold, standoffish, and a using, manipulative boss. The manipulation he used to bring the Avengers together with the death of the nerd was necessary but theatrical. Of course it would work because it was in the script:) :) The over all acting was very good if basic. I tend to think we see a large part of the real Robert Downey Jr. in his role of Ironman. While he is a gifted actor when he tries I do think he is a bit of an egomaniac and the Stark character fits him well.
