Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending a special fan screening of The Avengers here in Los Angeles. I don't need to tell you that the room was packed to the brim, but what I must say is that you could literally feel the electricity in the air that was being generated by the excitement of the crowd. Never have I experienced something like that before. But no matter how excited we all were, nothing could have prepared us for what we were about to witness. Most of you are aware that the word "Epic" gets tossed around in every single article that has to do with this movie, right? Well let me tell you that "Epic" doesn't even begin to cut it. Think I'm exaggerating? Just ask any of our other fine members who have seen the movie as well. In this review, I will cover every aspect of this film that I can recall. I will try to include as much details as possible, so be warned. This review is going to get VERY spoilery. THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING TO EXIT THIS ARTICLE IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE!!!
!!!Spoilers removed until embargo ends!!!
The Avengers was probably the most fun I've ever had watching a movie. It surpassed all expectations and left me extremely eager to see where the MCU goes from here. No fanboys will be disappointed by this film, believe me. It was virtually flawless and everything, from the dialogue to the CGI, was perfect. I have no complaints (except for the 3D, which was just as useless and unnecessary as it has been with past post-conversions. If you can avoid seeing it in this format then I recommend you do) and I will be there on May 4th to see it again.
As an action/adventure film, I give The Avengers a solid 9.5 out of 10. It had everything you can hope for in a comic book movie and more.
The Avengers hits theaters May 4th, 2012!
