The Avengers

All I am going to say about The Avengers is to see it.  If you like superhero movies you will thoroughly enjoy this two hour plus nerdgasm.  If you are anything like me you will be jumping around the entire time in your seat, magnified because of a midnight release, but you will not be disappointed.  There is no reason to think this film will be bad because more than three heroes or villains are in it.  You do not need to see each individual film for the individual members, but it does help but it is not mandatory.  Go spend the money, see it in theaters, and have one hell of a nerdgasm.  I also maintain if you do not see this film you are a Communist, a threat to national security, and therefore a target for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers to exterminate.
