The Avengers is ridiculously entertaining. It’s pretty much a perfect summer movie. The movie’s tone is perfect Marvel; the characters are completely true to their previous movies; the balance of wit, charm, intelligence, drama and poignancy is lovely, and both the tease for The Avengers 2 and the tag following the end credits are amazing.

Marvel’s The Avengers, the first truly Great Movie of 2012! Michelle’s Review
As a long time Comic Book collector, I’ve always been more of a Marvel Fangirl than a DC one. I own the entire run of Spider-Man, Avengers, Captain America, FF and Iron-Man books published between 1981 and 1990. Never bought X-Men, too expensive and unwieldy.

Pirates! Band of Misfits Is More Fun Than A Chimpanzee In A Tuxedo!
Pirates! Band of Misfits is the best stop-motion, non-Wallace and Gromit film yet from Aardman Animation. It may also be the most complex stop-motion animated film ever. And yes, it’s funny. Very, very funny.

Trailer: Brave: Family, Feistiness and Fate!
The newest trailer for Pixar’s Brave is the most intriguing and entertaining so far. It also signals Pixar’s recovery from the lame, action movie heroics of Cars 2 to a solid, character-driven adventure. Plus Gaelic folk music! I am so there!
Trailer: GI Joe: Retaliation – A Major Case Of Identity Theft And The Original Joe!
The original GI Joe movie, GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra was so awful – even the trailers were abysmal – that it made my Bottom Feeders list for 2009. GI Joe: Retaliation, however, has gone from terrific trailer to terrific trailer. The addition of Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis to the cast seems […]
