Movie - THE AVENGERS

You all knew I was waiting this movie with crazy passion.  I'm not sure why I like super heroes stories... maybe it's the feeling of "saving the day", be relevant, be resourceful or just those freaking abs!! ;)  I know the girls are like - "Hell yeah!".  I do like super heroes movies, and deep inside I think they make me feel like a kid again, and I'm sure that's a feeling we all enjoy. 

The Avengers got SOOOO much marketing and anticipation that I was starting to be a little concern about the content.  Within the last few years we have been hearing about this movie and seeing bit and pieces after all major "super hero" movie.  Expectations were very high and I have to say it didn't disappoint.   WOO HOO!!!

Good story, pretty bad ass special effects, a cast close to perfection and Chris Evans & Chris Hemsworth.  They deserve to be a reason for itself!  :)  

Overall the movie was well done, well balanced and entertaining.  Writers gave each character very good lines, good smart ass lines that I want to learn...  like... "That's the secret... I"m always angry."  What an awesome scene!!!  

Regarding the cast I'm not going to go one by one... they are pretty awesome individually and fortunately they really rock as a team.  I would like to focus on two main characters.  First, Tony Stark aka Iron Man.  HE'S FREAKING PERFECT!!  Robert Downey Jr was born to play Tony Stark, he's perfection!  Seriously!!  Nothing about this character and Robert disappoint.  You have to love when the casting process hit the spot and we enjoy the results.  Robert Downey is on a league of his own, and I'm very happy for him!! 

Now, let's talk about the cute green fella... THE HULK!  I was completely crushed when they left Ed Norton out of the movie The Avengers.  I think his rendition of Hulk few years ago was brilliant.  HE WAS BRUCE BANNER!  Shortly after I found out that Mark Ruffalo was the one replacing Ed Norton.  It felt like Christmas was cancelled.  I was like - "WHAT?" and other things I should not write in here.  I was convinced the movie was ruined beyond repair.  At this point, you already noticed I'm not a Mark Ruffalo's fan.  The reality is that based on previous performances, I don't think he's an actor with acting power. (still not convinced!) 

I'm so glad he proved me wrong!!  Mark Ruffalo played a pretty AWESOME Bruce Banner and I'm so happy I was wrong!  The HULK made this movie really entertaining, not to mentioned he kicked ass!  Still, very deep inside my inner child would like to see Ed Norton playing with the rest of the characters. I would like to overcome that big "if".  But for now I'm grateful Mark Ruffalo made justice to Ed's rendition of Bruce Banner.

Last but not least, Kudos to "Loki" - Tom Hiddleston, who played a pretty disturbed and scary villain.  I would like to see him doing other movies.  I think he will make a brilliant psychopath. 

We all kn0w we will see a sequel in the near future, and I'm really looking forward to it.  The wait was long for the first "AVENGERS" movie, but I have to say that it was totally worth it!  (especially after seeing Chris Evans and Hemsworth in tights!!) :)
