Avengers Movie Poster
In case it wasn't already obvious enough, I happen to be a bit of a nerd. Even before my anime days, I grew up on shows that some of the other kids regarded as 'nerdy' (in other schools, that is-- in my school all the cool kids were nerdy.) These shows included the classic superhero shows and movies, my favorites being those from Marvel (with the exception of Batman and the Teen Titans.)
That's why I've seen pretty much every superhero movie made in the past ten years, and I have yet to be dissapointed... (Actually, scratch that. I was dissapointed by Spiderman 3 and Captain America, and wasn't terribly impressed with the Fantastic 4 films.)
In recent years, Hollywood has been running out of movie ideas. Sure, they've been making superhero movies for a long time, and I'm not complaining... I'm doing the opposite of complaining. I'm as tired as anyone of seeing sequels and remakes ruin a franchise, but Marvel has been doing just about everything right (so far) to keep that from happening, even as they continue to make more and more movies.
I loved Ironman and Ironman 2, enjoyed Thor, and was okay with Captain America and the last couple of Incredible Hulk movies, but anyone familiar with the Marvel franchise was thinking the same thing throughout all of these movies: Are they going to make an Avengers movie?
And finally, it happened. My family and I were sitting at the kitchen table eating dinner when the commercial for the upcoming Avengers movie came on. For a moment we reverted to being children, and basically went ballistic. From what I've seen in promotional posters, actor interviews, commercials, and previews, I like just about everything. I hope to be seeing the movie the first day it comes out!
