Avengers [IMAX 3D]
This is the ULTIMATE superhero movie! Joss Whedon's trademarks are all over the movie and thanks to him this movie had (tons of) wit, great action, gorgeous sets and an amazing alien design (looking at you Abrams!). The action set pieces were extraordinary and this is how a finale action should be set. Brilliant!! The first quarter was setting the scene, and thankfully the exposition was smart and not a clutter! Then it was followed by a teaser of the potential awesomeness. Before the full-blown blow-your-mind-out-ness! And again thanks to Whedon, there were pathos, characterisation, emotional depth, snark, sense and continuity!! Shout outs to fanboys, and the previous movies. Everyone of them rock!!! There were even sneak cameos by Whedonverse alumni...hahaha. The sequel needs to happen NOW!!! (stay to the end credit...who the hell doesn't know what it will be about..."court Death"...mauahhahhaha) Double Whedon whammy with Cabin & Avengers! Welcome to the A-list, Whedon! Finally!! Here's hoping you get to do the sequel too (listen up Marvel!!)...obviously there's was some holding back this time round. In all honesty, this is a GREAT summer, popcorn movie, but it's not Oscar-calibre kind (except maybe in the technical categories, or snark!), so do not expect this movie to change your life but it is definitely going to enrich it and make it more fun! There were certain aspects of the movie that clearly showed some restrained by Whedon/Marvel...so for the sequel, the creative juices needs to be like Hulk unleashed!! Hulk smash!! 3D not necessary, but IMAX is.
