Remember back when they unveiled the dream-team cast of The Avengers, with Joss Whedon helming it, and visions of sugarplums danced in our heads? Well, hope you put up your stocking, because this cinematic Christmas right here. Unabashed recommendation. It is everything you would expect in a Joss Whedon Avengers movie. Would like to know how non-comics fans (or especially anyone who hasn't seen any of the preceding films) felt.
But then, half of you reading this have seen it already and the other half have seen it twice.
I think that's the third time I've heard an audience cheer in a movie theater (the other times being Return of the Jedi and T2: Judgment Day), but that's probably because there aren't many conditions worth braving crowds and prolonged tedium for. (Though everyone at the jam-packed theater, who stood in lines that completely filled the lobby to the point where you couldn't tell where the movie line(s) and concession lines separated, was perfectly well-behaved and even courteous. No cell-phone lights, no blathering; you could hear a pin drop during the Dark Knight Returns trailer. Brilliant.) This film needs to be soaked in again. Glorious.
