The Avengers

Five Stars: ˜˜˜˜˜

The Marvel franchise has been building to this moment for years and the wait was well worth it—thanks in great part to the film’s brilliant director, Joss Whedon. When the Avengers assemble to battle Thor’s vengeful brother Loki and his army of aliens, the super heroes’ chemistry is nothing less than epic. Full of breath-taking action sequences, the complicated plot and witty dialogue gives the film incredible rewatchability.

Captain America: The First Avenger

Five Stars: ˜˜˜˜˜

Steve was just a kid from Brooklyn who never ran away from a fight but always lost them. He couldn’t even get into the Army until an opportunity to become part of a special unit presents itself. When he finally gets his shot to join his friends in the war, nothing turns out the way it was supposed to. With the help of Howard Stark, a ragtag support team and a dorky helmet, he continues to do whatever it takes to fight the bullies of the world—starting with a deranged Nazi. The classic action and snarky dialogue were thoroughly entertaining and the Avengers movie looks quite promising now.
