Apr 26 12 6:27 AM More My Recent Posts	Saw THE AVENGERS this afternoon in Melbourne and I enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting to, since I'm a little burned out on all the Marvel movies - it's not a great film per se, but it's a great comic book movie, certainly the best thing from Marvel Studios since the first IRON MAN back in 2008. The expected awe-inspiring special effects thankfully come accompanied by some genuinely witty dialogue that often pokes fun at the absurd characters and situations, but never in an overly obvious or groan-inducing way. It’s clear that the jewel in Marvel’s crown is Robert Downey Jnr’s Iron Man - one wonders what the studio will do when the nearly 50 year-old Downey is forced the hang-up the armour for good (possibly after IRON MAN 3?). Mark Ruffalo is also good as Bruce Banner, and this is probably the best live-action realisation of the Hulk yet (though personally I preferred Ed Norton’s Banner). Tom Middleton’s Loki proves a suitably menacing villain, reminding me at times of General Zod (Terence Stamp) from SUPERMAN II. However, as much as I enjoyed watching THE AVENGERS, I have to say that the trailer for Ridley Scott’s PROMETHEUS blew it completely out of the water. I’ve been impressed and excited by practically everything I’ve seen and heard about PROMETHEUS so far, and finally seeing a trailer for it on the big screen has only amped-up my anticipation. http://john-harrison.blogspot.com SIN STREET SLEAZE (My Blog) Last Edited By: thegraveyardtramp Apr 27 12 7:38 PM.

The nice thing about Iron Man as a character is that because his power resides entirely in his armor, it's not strictly necessary to recast just because the actor is getting on a bit. Downey could probably continue playing him as long as he feels like it and provided he doesn't turn into a complete geezer.

Apr 26 12 4:51 PM More My Recent Posts	I saw The Avengers at a special screening last night. I'm not a big comic book guy, but I found it pretty entertaining, much better than any of the other Marvel adaptations (Spider-man excepted). However, I would imagine comic book fans are going to eat it up.

Apr 27 12 7:45 AM More My Recent Posts	Saw THE AVENGERS yesterday, loved it, and now have a man-crush on the Hulk. A lot of laughter from the audience, in all the right places. Only real gripes? The alien guys are basically hero-fodder, and Cap's modern outfit does look pretty poor. Best bits? No, I won't spoil. Go see it.

Apr 27 12 5:51 PM More My Recent Posts	I was hoping for a Hulk/Cap fight in this film. I always wanted to see scene brought to life on the big screen. The Catch of the Day!

Apr 28 12 9:38 AM More My Recent Posts	An absolute blast. Possibly the best time that I've ever had at the cinema. I hate repeating what others have said before me but it is true that they have managed to include all of the main and supprting characters into the storyline without it feeling too much, it is very, very funny in all of the right places - there were three or four moments when the packed house erupted in laughter. The traditional post/mid credits sequence is a great tease and there are some jaw dropping new bench mark action sequences. A couple of other things - the onscreen chemistry between the main players is great - sure they argue and trade a few punches now and again but they move on from that and develop some quite believable bonds. The supporting cast are just as strong with some marvelous work from Samuel Jackson, Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow among others. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone - The Black Widow may be seen as one of the main characters in some quarters, but the main dudes in The Avengers for me are and always will be Cap, IM, Thor and the Hulk! And speaking of the Hulk, Mark Ruffalo really does steal the show in the part although he does face some serious contention from Tom Hiddleston who remarkably improves on his terrific showing as Loki in the Thor film with the altercation between these two being one of the many, many highlights of the film. Two complaints - Cap's costume doesn't look quite right - I think that it's just the hood, as when he's in costume with the hood down he looks fine and dandy and my seat in the cinema didn't have much legroom. Sort these problems out for the sequel, Whedon! Knight of the Living Dead

Apr 28 12 12:03 PM More My Recent Posts	Probably the most fun I've had at the cinema. If you liked the early Lee/Kirby books or the first two Ultimates series, I think you'll love this. As usual, do stay right to the end. Russ poss spoiler. It's pretty violent for a 12A rating and there's reference to female genitalia that was funny but seemed out of place and a bit of a shock in this sort of film Last Edited By: professor liebstrum Apr 28 12 12:57 PM.
