And Joss Whedon strikes again.

Hi there !

Today, I'll talk about the movie The Avengers that I saw yesterday at the theater. (Yeah, I know, you might not care about my personnal life, but I needed a sentence to introduce this post and well....As good as any I suppose....)

Well, where to begin ? Maybe by a simple statement. This movie is very good. Joss Whedon did a great job as a director.

But let's begin with the beginning, shall we ?

When we left Thor, Loki had lost the battle, but the post-credit scene showed that he was still looking for the Tessaract. Well, boys, the film begins on a problem, Loki got some help, and got his hand on the Tessaract. After that, well.....No spoiler, so I'll just say there will be a ton of action, humour, fun, and a few sad moments.













I'm really happy about that movie for several reasons. The first one being that every hero has his moment. There is not one that is denied, or a little forgotten. That was not an easy thing to do, and Mr Whedon managed that very well.

Secondly, they are not all happy to be together and all in the spirit "Hey bro ! I really like you, let's go kill some people and save the world for the theater industry and to make money. Plus that villain brought all the troubles, he is so mean"
No, the U.S goverment are criticized, the heroes don't trust each other, it's not all joyful and people will die. It brings a very different dimension than one you could have in a basic superhero movie.

But, it's not all sad. There is a lot of comic elements in the movie, very well dispersed, whether in the lines of the characters, or in the scene and the actions. Or some moment where your eyes are suddnely wide opened because one character just did something so awesome and powerful you are "ohmygadlololol what did they unleash ?" That happens especially with Hulk.

To be honest, this hero was the one I was very much worried about. After several adaptations, including one that was terrible, and the change of actor, I feared for our big green friend.
Well, do not. In this movie, he is awesome.
Every time the Hulk appears, it's a moment of pleasure.


I won't hide you that sometimes, but it's very rare, there are a few "wtf" moments. I think of two of them right now especially even though I will not disclause them. My article is spoil-free. There are some nice suprises too. Stan Lee making his cameo as ever, Cobie Smulders getting a little out of her role as Robin Sherbatsky and making a very good impression in Maria Hill, etc...






















To put it in a nutshell, go see that movie. The 3D is quite good. And the film is great. For the first time, we have several iconic super-heroes on screen and in one movie, and it was extremely well done. That would be too bad to miss, wouldn't it ?

So, go assemble in your theater ! Oh, and by the way....Just stay 2 minutes after the credits. There is, of course a mid-credit scene where you learn the next villain, for the next avengers movie ? Let's hope !!
