Ok, yesterday I completely geeked out in Marvel Studios' movies and watched Cap, Thor and Incredible Hulk all for the 2nd time. You know what? I liked each and every one of them even more than the 1st time. I've seen Iron Man 2 twice now and it improved as well. I need to hunt down IM now and watch it so I can confirm what I think I already have found: these are all really good movies!
But ... The Avengers? I'm not a exactly a Whedonite, but folks ... there is no better talent behind any of these movies than there is with The Avengers. To say I am excited and pumped is like as big of an understatement as saying I'm straight. I have a grand fear that there will be no other Marvel movie that will be as completely entertaining as it ... ever. I'm not a youngster anymore, but I can say that this may be the movie that I am the most excited for in my entire life. The only thing that could make it nuttier is if they announced that John Williams was doing the music (dream a little dream ...) and if Sony and Fox wised up and figured out the licensing red-tape so that Spidey and some of the FF & X-Men could have small cameos (now I'm just smoking crack).
It's a great time to be a Marvel comics fan that loves movies too.
