This is Entry 263: Brian on the Aisle #13

Welcome to another installment of the infrequent series called Brian on Aisle where I "review" movies that I've seen & want to talk a little bit about.

Today movie is The Avengers. Now why am I talking about it now & not 5 months ago like everyone else was? Well... I hadn't see it yet. I just saw the movie for the 1st time today. What took me so long? I was waiting.

Waiting for it to come to the theater a few blocks from my house where you can see movies for 3 dollars. Also, I made a promise to my Mother to see it with her. She's not really into comics or anything she just wanted to see the movie. So... I waited the time it came to my local theater to see it with her.

It came so we went (along with my father) to see the movie. Before I get to my "review" of the movie I'll say this it's no way a full review of the movie just my feelings & there might be spoilers if you haven't seen the movie yet. But I think the movie came out 5 months ago so the movie has already been spoiled awhile ago but I just thought I'd put that warning out there.

Now... what did I think of it?

Well... It was good. Not great. I liked Captain America: The First Avenger & Thor better. The movie started out slow, lagged through the first half of the movie & then ramped it up for an action packed 2nd half. Not really sure who or what the alien army was. I didn't recognize the name of the race, they might of been from the comics but I didn't know who they were. They kind of reminded me of zombies & just seemed to be to be fought. No real character to them.

Another thing: It's not the Tesseract, It's the Cosmic Cube! That's what the comics call it & that's what I call it. Sure, it sounds a bit hokey but all of stuff in comics sounds hokey.

The Hellicarrier looked cool!  The Hulk looked really good, probably the best he's looked in any of his recent movies appearances.  The humor was good. Many of the jokes got be laughs from the crowd. The Death of Coulson was sad (I knew it was coming but it was still sad). I quite liked Thor's "casual" look, the sans cape look. Sort of felt like the cape was pointless. Wasn't a big fan of the Mask of Cap's costume. Something just seemed a bit off about it. I'd see the sequel to see what they did with the Mad Titan Thanos & how they represent his "girlfriend".

What do I give the movie? 3 Avenges out of 5.

The theater is also playing the Spider-Man so I'll probably try to see that. Look for that "review" soon.

Until then Stay Jazzy everyone!
