I also never really got a feel for Hawkeye and though his whole first half was kind of a weird choice. But other than that, it was a stellar movie.<br /><br />As a side note, I run a feature called Follow Friday where I check out a new blog each week and interview the author. Brent from Criminal movies led me to this blog and I'd like to feature Radiator Heaven for next Friday. You can e-mail me at Bubbawheat(@)msn(.)com, I'll be checking out your site this weekend and will come up with some hopefully good questions for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-27013140734948460462012-05-14T11:49:13.510-04:002012-05-14T11:49:13.510-04:00Snackules:

It is by no means the best (or even close).<br /><br />And yes, I would like to see some of that friction between Cap and Hawkeye. And Hawkeye's role beefed up some more as I felt he was the most under-utilized but obviously, not everyone is gonna have the same amount of screentime.<br /><br /><br />le0pard13:<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br /><br />The Sci-Fi Fanatic:<br /><br />Thank you, my friend.<br /><br />I think you will LOVE this film. It is definitely right up yer alley.<br /><br />I was really let down by IRON MAN 2 and THE AVENGERS brings Stark back to his smartass best of the first IM film.<br /><br />Count me in for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, which I eagerly anticipate and also PROMTHEUS which looks absolutely epic. Can't wait for that one.<br /><br /><br />John Kenneth Muir:<br /><br />I'd be really curious to read your thoughts on this film when you get a chance to see it. I think you will enjoy it immensely. It took me back to when I was a kid reading Marvel comics and devoring issue after issue of THE AVENGERS.<br /><br />I, too was not crazy about the first 2 Hulk films. Ang Lee's take was bold and really pushed the envelope but the character did not really feel like the one immortalized in the comic book. I thought the Edward Norton take was better but still not enough of Hulk for my liking. Whedon nailed it with his film. If they do another film of the Hulk he should write and direct... or at the very least write the screenplay.<br /><br /><br />Brent Allard:<br /><br />I couldn't agree more. Whedon got the mix just right and really set a high standard for future super hero films. It was a very nice contrast to the dark, angsty Nolan BATMAN films, which I like, but it was time for something different.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-84976370649214342812012-05-09T22:38:09.841-04:002012-05-09T22:38:09.841-04:00Just got back from seeing it, and I was more than ...Just got back from seeing it, and I was more than a little impressed. As you mention it was an ambitious project tying the films together, and it could have very easily gone wrong. Avengers ended up being an impeccable super hero film with great pacing, character moments, and spectacle after spectacle. They also managed to get the comic book dynamic into the film better than I could've hoped.INDBrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11606473452389713844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-57887239052460743462012-05-09T11:42:35.539-04:002012-05-09T11:42:35.539-04:00Hi J.D.:

I'm most intrigued by your writing about The Hulk. I thought both Hulk movies were pretty terrible, and I've heard a lot of good things about Ruffalo in the role. I hope this means a new Hulk movie will be green-lit with Ruffalo in the lead. I also agree with your commentary on Iron Man 2. That movie was instantly forgettable, so it's good to know that Tony Stark is back in fine form.<br /><br />Thanks for a great review.<br /><br />best,<br />JohnJohn Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-76157170243503650272012-05-05T20:53:03.466-04:002012-05-05T20:53:03.466-04:00Ahhh, Earth's Mightiest HEroes. I always love...Ahhh, Earth's Mightiest HEroes. I always loved that tagline at the bottom of one of my favorite comics.<br /><br />Great review here J.D. Enjoyed this very much.<br /><br />I've heard so many great things about the Hulk I'm really excited to see Whedon's take here. It gives me hope for a new and improved solo film over the other two.<br /><br />I've also, after two recent viewings, come to realize that I do enjoy Iron Man immensely. I do believe Iron Man 2 really shaded my opinion of the first. ALso, I've always harbored a dislike for Downey and some of his schtick, but he's won me over with that first Iron Man.<br /><br />You had some wonderful thoughts here and most insightfully in the first sentence of your final paragraph, why Whedon is meant for this film. Like his work pulling oddballs together in an ensemble for the always exceptional Firefly, it makes sense he should do it here with this lot.<br /><br />I look forward to it. It sounds like great stuff. I'm also really excited about The Dark Knight Rises but the latest trailer didn't blow me away surprisingly. Prometheus is highly anticipated too.

If one must experience a giant crossover event, Marvel's Annihilation was epic, (in the traditional sense, not the "OMGWTFBBQ" sense) consequential, and featured wonderful characterization of some beloved (if occasionally marginal) characters like Kl'rt, the Super-Skrull, Ronan the Accuser and Richard Ryder, "The Man Called Nova." (And Blastaar and Annihilus and Galactus. . . GIVE THE KIRBY FAMILY SOME FUCKING MONEY, DISNEY.) The best part? It all happens off earth, which makes it less impenetrable than say, Civil War or Siege, both of which required a lot more backstory. <br /><br />I'm hoping the inevitable sequel will feature some headbutting between Captain America and Hawkeye. That was the biggest thing about the team's dynamic I missed. But yeah, grousing about comics aside, a fine review to a film that was everything it needed to be.Snackuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924002200954810952noreply@blogger.com
