Avengers Assemble!!!

Well I’ve finally decided to write about the avengers movie, I saw it exactly a week ago, the fact that it’s taken me this long to decide to write about it says a lot for the current state of my mind. To begin with I want to clarify that I am a bit of a comic book/super hero geek, which has the double edged sword of making me overly excited about anything super hero related, but also over critical. The movie is awesome, pure and simple, I advise anyone who enjoys being entertained to get down to their nearest cinema and see it, support your local cinema, seriously it’s well worth it and the whole cinema experience just makes it all the more pleasurable (ignoring the ridiculously over priced popcorn, drinks etc.). This film takes a different route to the current Marvel crop, it doesn’t try and take itself overly seriously, it’s not trying to be dark, it’s not trying to be intense. Instead it’s exactly what a comic book film should be, it’s an excuse to act like a 12 year old kid again, it gives you the buzz you used to get when you got home from the toy shop and destroyed the box of that new action figure you’d been saving up for. This is a fun film to see, from start to finish you’re entertained, The action sequences are incredible, they have really thought about how these characters can work together and it shows, not only in the action but in the humour and the drama. The film itself is well written and well balanced, never focusing too much on one particular aspect and enhancing the story because of this. This film is what the cinema experience is all about and why we should support our local cinema when ever possible.

Good Day?

You know its not going to be a good day when it starts off with something thats only two days old self destructing the very first time you use it, not only that but actually within the first minute of you using it. It’s only later, when you realise it was the high point of your day, that just how bad your day has actually been becomes apparent. Thankfully the day is almost over and tomorrow is still new, fresh and full of promise, fingers crossed, g’night folks.
