The Avengers

I got to see this movie on opening weekend. The lines were long and the reviews were raving.  I collected comics when I was a kid and the Avengers and each of the super heroes in it were all part of my childhood.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock the Avengers movie is about super heroes such as Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the incredible Hulk teaming together and forming a team to battle a powerful villain trying to take over Earth.  Whether you were a comic collector or not or haven’t seen the previous Marvel films this movie is still fun to watch.  It has everything you want in a blockbuster summer movie; action, comedy, a great story, and a Hulk.  What more could you ask for?  If you haven’t seen this movie yet go out and check it out now.

Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆

Captain America

One of the most iconic Marvel Super Heroes has finally made it to the silver screen. Captain America, the future leader of the Avengers, battles Red Skull and a boatload of Nazis.

Fans of Captain America will love this movie, but what makes this movie standout compared to the other Marvel movies is that this film really focused on the character development of Steve Rogers. It’s not his super soldier powers that makes him such a likable guy, but it’s his unwavering integrity and loyalty to his country and friends.

If I had to fault this movie it would be that the second half of the film is not has solid as the first. Overall, this movie is fun and exciting and makes the upcoming Avenger movie more compelling.

Rating: ★★★★★★★½☆☆
