The Avengers
Positive:
By far the best Marvel movie ever. Not only did they think ahead & get it right with the characters (minus Edward Norton), but the small parts & cameos by the likes of Stellan Skarsgard, Gwyneth Paltrow & even Natalie Portman via photo were unexpected & great. This is the 1st Marvel movie where it felt like the characters jumped out of the comic book pages & onto the screen. 10 STARS
Negative:
Samual L. Jackson will never be Nick Fury. Nick Fury is a cigar chomping, mid 40s, gray haired WHITE MAN.
Hawkeyes costume. They nailed everyother character & just quit on him. Putting someone in black leather doesn't make them the character they're supposed to be portraying. Big fail, just like in the X-Men.
Little confused are you happy about the lack of Edward Norton or not happy about it? Hoping you're happy on it cause I think Mark blows Edward out of the water in terms of being Bruce Banner. Edward Norton wasn't a good fit for the role. Mark plays the role perfectly and I think he's even a better fit overall with the entire group.
Avengers is a fantastic movie and I am glad as hell they are already going to start working on a 2nd one. Also looking forward to another Thor, Iron Man and I believe they're even doing a 2nd Captain America.
As for Hawkeye's costume.....part of the problem is it looks too much like he's just regular old SHIELD and not one of the heroes of it. He blends in too much with the hired guys of SHIELD and doesn't stand out like the rest do. Maybe for the 2nd they'll change it up.
I'm actually slacking on movie watching and got no reviews beyond Avengers. Been busy re-watching House lol
Mark did an excellent job as the Hulk, but I'm a stickler for details especially when it comes to comic book movies and the Ed Norton Hulk was the lead in to the Avengers so it would have been nice to see the same character. I can live with Mark but not with Samual L Jackson.
