Avengers Assemble

I went and saw the latest Marvel comic book movie this weekend. Marvel once again kicked DC's ass as Captain America>Green Lantern. Captain America had a pretty good opening week end at the box office taking over the number one spot from Harry Potter.

Chris Evans does a pretty good job as the transformed 90 lb asthmatic, Steve Rogers. This isn't Chris' first Marvel Comic Movie. You may remember him as Johnny Storm in the 2005 and 2007 Fantastic Four Films.

Well he is all grown up, and bulked up, now and did a pretty good job as the First Avenger.

The movie did have some slow parts but they had to set up how the WWII hero would join his comic book brothers in the present day. And to that I say "Well played Mauer."

The Howling Commandos were pretty cool and the movie, at times, had a nice Star Wars feel to it. (You'll know these scenes when they come by)

Overall, I really enjoyed it and it sets up the May 2012 release of The Avengers perfectly. I'll give it 3 Floyds.

In brighest day, in blackest night....

I waited awhile to see this one partially because of all the bad reviews it received. But when it gets down to it it wasn't that bad. Reynolds was acceptable as the cocky Hal Jordan. Blake Lively ranks way up on the hot superhero girlfriend list and Geoffrey Rush and Michael Clarke Duncan were pretty cool as Hal's mentor Lanterns. Like I said before it wasn't bad. It it wasn't the worst superhero movie. If you haven't gone I would say go see it. It is just a shame that DC comics haven't been working on a JLA movies ala Marvel and their Avengers prequels. Two and a bit Floyds.

The Mighty Thor

I went and saw Thor this morning. After hearing mostly bad comments at work about this I went in with a sense of dread about this. I was more than pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed it. The effects were really good, the music was great and the story was pretty well done.

Natalie Portman plays the very sweet Jane Foster and she looks as hot as usual. Chris Hemsworth plays the title role pretty well. He put me in mind of Heath Ledger.

They threw a couple of bones in along the way (as usual)and they were pleasant surprises. Pay attention for a S.H.E.I.L.D. (***Bonus points for the new SHIELD Acronym) agent named Clint Barton and also stay for the cookie at the end of the credits.

It ended up being a pretty good trip to the movies today. We found an AMC card at the house that had never been used so the tickets and concessions basically cost us $4.00. Then as we were leaving the gave us passes for another ticket because of a sound issue (that really wasn't an issue) so we'll get to go to another movie (Captain America?) for free.

I am really looking forward to the release of Captain America and then the Avengers movie when it gets released next year. Go see it. I give it 3 and 3/4 Floyds.
