Marvel's The Avengers (2:22) 2012

The Avengers broke all attendance records for new releases this weekend. My daughter and I went today at 3:30 and the theater was packed to see old favorites, Thor, The Hulk, Iron Man, and Captain America. It's a long movie but it is action packed, full of computer generated effects. I noticed that the very young children (ages 5-7) were restless but everyone else was engaged in the movie. My favorite is the wise cracking flippant Iron Man played by Robert Downey, Jr.  Mark Ruffalo is The Hulk with a smaller part but reminds me of Bill Bixby, the original TV Hulk. The plot picks up with Loki, Thor's brother, returning to Earth. He plans to enslave the human as he conquers our planet. The Avengers, first at odds with each other, join forces to battle Loki and his army. Lots of crashes, killing, car smashes and building destruction take place throughout the film. It's a romp, the beginning of the summer blockbusters. A must see for all comic book fans.
