I’ve been a little off this week, which for a crazy person
who is kind of off kilter to begin with who pours his wild imagination and the
whispering from my muse into stories for readers to enjoy in the future, means
I’ve been a little way off kilter.
Between my family, work (my day job), stealing time in the evenings to
try and finish my third book, losing a friend this week to cancer, I’ve been
plagued with all the feelings, thoughts and emotions to the point I’ve felt a
little over whelmed. So I finally went
to see the other movie I’ve been dying to see, The AVENGERS!
I didn’t grow up a DC Comic fan; I came into late in life
and through Television and later more recently the movies. I was and still am a huge fan of WONDER WOMAN,
the television series because of an infatuation with Linda Carter. I watched the Hulk television show with Bill
Bixby and Lou Ferrigno, and even follow the blog of Allan Cole who used to write
for that show. I hooked up with him on
Linked-In.
Of the movies which belong in this series the only I haven’t
seen yet is THOR but it’s on my list of movies to see. I loved that they were able to do this with
the same characters from the other movies. That really added something to the movie
adventure – seeing all the same characters together in one film. CASTING – FANTASTIC!!!
Special effects were off the HOOK!! Story was incredible, amazing interaction and
dialogue between the characters! I bet
the writers who worked on the screen play had a freaking hay day of a good time
piecing that script together. The movie
was serious, exciting and hilarious!
It was a great pick me up and I can see why so many people
have seen it over and over! I got home
and told my wife that when they come out on DVD I want to buy Battleship and
The AVENGERS! I remember reading a
bloggers take on how the Hulk detracted from the movie because it was
unrealistic that he would be able to jump around the way he did. I am sorry but in my opinion each of the
characters had great moments, awesome lines, but the HULK stole the show in a
few parts. When a movie can make the
audience yell and clap out loud by thrusting your emotions to the point you can’t
stay quiet that is one of the marks of a great movie. Two parts come to mind where the audience
went nuts!
Hulk sucker punching Thor out of the blue! The other was the Hulk’s reply to Loki
expounding on being a God! Both brought
the house down!! Oh My God! I think I hurt myself laughing!
Awesome movie people!!
There is a thing where the characters out of costume from AVENGERS are
lined up and it says something like “What have you got?” or “It’s your turn?” They are taunting the upcoming movie, “Dark
Knight Rises,” which is the new Batman movie due out shortly. Christopher Nolan and Crew should be
worried. The AVENGERS will be damn hard
to top!
