Avengers Assemble!

I don't think I've mentioned this yet but I read comic books.  Mainly DC titles but I've always loved all the Marvel characters as well.  So whenever a new movie comes out featuring these characters I get a little excited.  Actually giddy is probably a more accurate word for it.  Needless to say when I saw the trailer for the Avengers I was ready to run to the theater that day.  Last night I got to see it after listening to a weeks worth of hype from everyone else.  All the reviews were so positive I've was slightly nervous I'd be let down.  I can tell you this movie does not disappoint.  Joss Whedon did such a fabulous job bringing all the characters together.  The interaction between the Avengers is hilarious. The one thing I was worried about was the choice not to bring back Edward Norton as the Hulk. It turns out I had nothing to be worried about.  Mark Ruffalo actually felt more like Bruce Banner/Hulk than any other actor in recent years.  He made Banner look uncomfortable and awkward in his own skin which is how I would imagine him.  Hulk also has some of the most memorable lines in the movie.  I highly recommend checking this movie out if you are into comics or action movies.  You will not be disappointed.  I'm ready to see it again!
