Okay so I know that I haven't really written or posted an article on here for a while now and that I am still quite new to this site compared to all of the comic book reading, movie viewing, geek fanatics on here; but I have viewed many of your comments about certain comic book movies that came out this year such as "The Avengers" and "The Dark Knight".
As a comicbook movie fan and as a fan of all kinds of movies in general old and new I am ashamed of some of the people on this site, The (Marvelites) and the (Nolanites) and the thing that makes me ashamed is that the more the both of you criticize each other the more you guys seem ridiculous.
Now the reason why the title of this article is called "The Avengers the most overrated movie of the summer" is because I believe that (The Avengers) is what started this nonsense, and that The Dark Knight was thrown under the bus because every Marvel fan and their mother went to go see it and praised it, when in my opinion it was and okay movie.
Now this is were you Marvelites are going to start whining and lash out on me, telling me how "The Avengers is the best movie" and how "The Avengers is winning" but to be honest I really dont care...see I hate the fact that everyday on this site there is someone picking out every little flaw of a comicbook movie to use it for an unecessary arguement, that goes on and on. Mainly The Dark Knight or The Dark Knight Rises, you people are so persistent and determined to make anything that Nolan has created or involved in seem like the most overrated movies in the industry in which I'll finally respond by saying "get a life, and learn what real movies are!".
Now don't get me wrong their were a few things I really enjoyed about the The Avengers; the comedy, Mark Rufflo's portrayal of Bruce Banner, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron-Man (of coarse), and the Helicarrier....but considering that, the movie just starts off bland to me; the thing I liked about Captain America: The First Avenger is that it started off like an adventure movie it was almost reminiscent of Raider of the lost Ark it set up the movie as an intriging movie and so expected the Avengers to start off like that as well, but instead it starts off as a typical action movie with no real witty dialogue, which Joss Whedon is known for; but with grade-b dialogue that was mainly for laughs.
The movie then has a few flashes or montages of the characters which I really would of liked to see more of, and right away the sly jokes ensue from Tony Stark to Agent Coulsen which I liked but at times seemed alittle to comedic for a movie that will eventually have to get serious. That is one of the issues about this movie is that It loves itself so much that it doesnt take itself seriously which gave the movie more of a cartoonish feel to it, and took me out of the movie.
The villian and atleast one of the main Protagonist (which I will get into later) is played by Tom Hiddleston which does an okay job with the material he has, but is written as a typical whiny villian who just wants to rule the world.
I'll venture into the flaws of the movie further in PART 2...
