I went to
go see The Avengers last night at SilverCity River Port in Richmond. Saw it in
IMAX 3D! It is the only way to watch movies. The last movie I saw in IMAX was Mission
Impossible: Ghost protocol on Dec.28.2011 which is my birthday.
I don’t
even know where to begin, this movie is what watching movies are all about. I
have always loved movies that have been based on comic books. It just seems like
the ultimate for of escapism. Movies take you somewhere; they take you places
you have never been.
The Avengers
has a die hard cast, Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark/Iron Man, I think he
has made one of thee best comebacks since his days of drinkin and druggin back
in 96’ the type of character he often plays are often egotistical likable jerks
which I believe is not really a stretch from who he really is, none the less we
love him all the same.
Chris
Evens plays Steve Rogers/Capitan America, this would not be his first role as a
superhero either he also played Johnny Storm-The Torch in Fantastic 4 which is
also another Marvel character/role.
Wisconsin
native Mark Ruffalo is defiantly new to the Marvel comic realm. His role as Bruce
Banner/The Hulk was fantastic. He has been in some remarkable movies such as Shutter Island
& the Zodiac.
Moving
onto Chris Hemsworth Australian native who plays Thor God of Thunder (of Norse
mythology) his character is multidimensional, he is extremely powerful, has
profound stamina, he can track objects traveling faster than the speed of light,
can travel through time, I mean the list can go on and on. Chris also has a
younger brother (in-law) Luke who dabbles in acting. When Chris premiered as
Thor (2011) I absolutely fell in love with the character/actor. I mean many
actors who come from Australia have a certain quality that you just cant find
anywhere else. Look at Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Hugh who plays Logan/Wolverine
yet another Marvel comic character brought to life. When I look at the kind of caliber of actor's that come from Australia, its incredible. They just dont make them like
that here, whether that be Canada or the USA or any other part of the world.
Scarlett
Johansson who portrays Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow. The Black Widows abilities
include: Marksman, weapons specialist, extensive espionage training, martial
artist (styles included but not limited to: Judo, Karate, Aikido, savate, kung
fu and boxing) She can defiantly hold her own to say the least.
Samuel L
Jackson who plays Nick Fury, he is one of my all time favorite actors, his role
as Jules in Pulp Fiction a Tarantino movie also my favorite Writer/Director was
mind blowing.
As far as
other cast members there is a slough, Gwyneth Paltrow/Pepper Potts, Jeremy
Renner-Clinton Barton/Hawkeye, Tom Hiddleston/Loki, Clark Gregg/Agent Phil Coulson,
Stellan Skarsgard/Professor Erik Selvig & Paul Bettany the voice of Jarvis.
In conclusion,
I thought this movie was hmm there really is not one word that can describe it.
Sensory overload but in a good way, adrenaline pumping, and action riddled,
stunning graphics. I would say it is awesome, stellar but that would be an
understatement. I would defiantly recommend that you go to the IMAX Theater
right now and watch it over and over again. Its been a killer in the box office
earning Billions of dollars, if you don’t go and see it you are missing out big
time. Well thanks for stopping by have a good May long weekend ya’ll till next
time
