Everyone has their moments, but ultimately the filmmakers (Joss Whedon of TV\u2019s Firefly) were smart in understanding that Iron Man is everyone\u2019s favorite.  <\/p>\n<p>The idea of putting all these superheroes together is kind of ridiculous, even if it was built up in the other films.  That said, it works pretty well and The Avengers is surprisingly good.  For starters, they finally figured out a way to use The Hulk.  Next to Iron Man, he was the best part of the movie.  Captain America is a bit of a weak link, but not enough to ruin the party.  <\/p>\n<p>The story isn\u2019t very memorable, something about an alien trying to destroy the world.  But these movies aren\u2019t really about the story \u2013 they\u2019re about the action and comedy, and The Avengers has plenty of both.  <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to image all of these heroes going back to their own separate movies now.  Why would Iron Man or Captain America fight a super-villain alone now that they have a Hulk to help them?  But that is the plan, as Iron Man 3 is shooting as we speak, and will likely be released next summer.  <\/p>\n<p>One minor complaint \u2013 what is Black Widow\u2019s and Hawkeye\u2019s superpower?  Are they just super-awesome at fighting and bow and arrowing, or do they actually have some sort of superpower?  And if so, how did they get them?  Where they born with them, or were they in contact with radiation at a young age?  If you know, please tell me.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if you like Iron Man, Hulk, and\/or Captain America, you should check out The Avengers.  It\u2019s pretty good.<\/p>\n<p><html><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"http:\/\/bagleyinsurance.com\/\/movie-review-the-avengers\" data-send=\"true\" data-width=\"450\" data-show-faces=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><\/html><br \/>\n<html><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-via=\"bagleyinsurance\">Tweet<\/a><br \/>\n<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");<\/script><br \/>\n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Avengers is basically Iron Man 3 with some Captain America, Thor, and Hulk mixed in for good measure, which isn\u2019t a bad thing.
