The Superhero team movie called "The Avengers" came out on DVD, so we rented it Friday night. I (Rob) am a huge superhero and comic book fan, although my favorite heroes are in the DC Comics line: Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, Wonder Woman...
The Avengers features Nick Fury, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America (a favorite of mine), Hawkeye and Black Widow. The story is about how Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. (a gov't organization to protect the country) brings together a team of super humans to form The Avengers to help save the Earth from the norse God gone mad - Loki and his army.
As much as I loved seeing all of the heroes together, I have to give this movie a "B." The infighting between heroes was overdone, but the origins were hinted at, and done well. The costumes were great, although why Chris Evans (Capt. America) dyed his hair is beyond me (it made him look odd for this movie for some reason). We both enjoyed the movie, though. Our favorite part was the very physical confrontation where the Hulk slammed Loki back and forth on the ground. We laughed out loud. :)
