A Monumentally Politically Correct Movie

Rating: 5/10 (11 May 2012)

Maybe this movie deserves an Oscar for special effects, even though I saw better special effects. When you have a real idea you don't need too much special effects. Perhaps this doesn't apply for putting on the screen a comics book performed by live actors. Forget about the Middle Eastern terrorists, the "Avengers" terrorists come from space, an undefined limbo space so that future visitors from some other planet not feel offended. What further disappointed me is that this live-comics-on-the-screen is not even patriotic. And using a futuristic setup for making a mockery out of our way of life and our government shows a pitiful lack of class. I marked it 5 only for its entertaining virtues. Yes, it is quite entertaining - but what a parsec distance between its heroes and the ones of "Star Wars."
