Of course, we would not even have needed invitationbox.com save the dates to remind us of the movie showing. We watched it on Friday, a few days after its premiere.

You might remember Chris Evans as Johnny Storm in the movie Fantastic Four, only he was not as beefed up in that movie as he was in this. I am not an avid Avengers fan so I do not know if the movie stayed true to form but I found it entertaining. Having watched most Avengers movies from Hulk, Iron Man 1 & 2, Thor – and now this, I love Steve Rogers aka Captain America’s story more. I also like how it all links to the upcoming Avengers movie, the trailer of which was shown after the movie credits ended.

And I would not post a review without a shirtless screencap of course:

I will most definitely be watching out for this movie:

The highly anticipated climactic coalition of the earth’s mightiest superheroes, better known as The Avengers, is scheduled for release May 4th 2012.

Avengers Movie 2012

The Avengers 2012 Marvel Movie

The Avengers 2012 Marvel Movie

Really looking forward to this massive team up. Admittedly, quite a few Marvel movies have sucked. On the other hand, some were pretty amazing. I just hope that the Avengers movie out in 2012 is one of the latter. Joss Whedon is confirmed as the director, and I hope he does add his magic touch to the film. It seems that the movie will be a new story made up of various origins:

It will be a new story that has many things from different arcs of the comics in it. There is no one Avengers story that you can just do the way that you can do the origin of Spider-Man. You really have to cull from the original and The Ultimates, which is one of The Avengers titles. – Joss Whedon

Sexy Black Widow

There are rumours that going forward, most Marvel Movies will fall in the same universe instead of spawning new ones for every film. Infact, there were rumours of The Black Widow and Hawkeye to make appearances in Iron Man Two, we saw the stunning Scarlett Johansen as the Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury certifying this rumour.

It just really just goes back to the very first incarnation of The Avengers. It goes to The Ultimates, it goes to everything about it. It makes no sense, it’s ridiculous. There’s a thunder god, there’s a green “ID” giant rage monster, there’s Captain America from the 40s, there’s Tony Stark who definitely doesn’t get along with anybody. Ultimately these people don’t belong together and the whole movie is about finding yourself from community. And finding that you not only belong together but you need each other, very much. Obviously this will be expressed through punching but it will be the heart of the film. – Joss Whedon

It seems that other Avengers favourites like the Wasp have been left out, as it has been confirmed that The Widow is the only female avenger (awww )
