The AVENGERS

Hey there friends, today I just wanted to post a short blog about an AWESOME movie: The AVENGERS!!

From brilliant writing and directing from Joss Whedon (formerly the creator of hits like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) to a plethora of acting talent, this movie is sure to be not only one of the BIGGEST blockbusters of the summer, but perhaps of all time as it has already broken the opening weekend record for all-time sales in the box office and has already raked in nearly 700 million dollars worldwide.
Let's look at the acting talent:
Mark Ruffalo being cast as the Hulk was brilliant as he is a highly talented actor and actually is BETTER at the role than the two previous portrayals by Eric Bana and Edward Norton, especially since Mark Ruffalo actually looks like Dr. Bruce Banner. The on screen tension between the Hulk and Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth) was both exciting and audibly laughable... but I won't spoil it too much since many of my readers may not have seen the film yet.

The addition of Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), a young up and coming actor who starred in films like the Hurt Locker and the newest installment of the Mission Impossible franchise makes for well rounded casting.

Scarlett Johanson (Black Widow) was super sexy and gave some dynamic credibility to the story line as she exposes the villain Loki's evil secrets through mind manipulation and she also has a kick ass action sequence at the beginning of the film in a skimpy dress too.

Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury, leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Chris Evans (Captain America) kept the action going in a MAJOR WAY, but one actor stole the show, in particular...

Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of eccentric billionaire playboy philanthropist Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man IS and HAS BEEN spot on in the first two screen adaptation's of Stan Lee's classic comic book creations and ANOTHER Iron Man movie is set to come out in the spring of 2013. Tony Stark is by far the most dynamic character in the Avenger's group and Robert Downey Jr. is one of my personal favorite actors. His portrayal in this movie sets him apart from the rest of the cast and his role is duly worthy of an Academy Award!! I am personally hoping in the next movie we will get to see the kick ass PROTON CANNON too!!

Even the supporting character Loki (Thor's brother) had a much more dynamic portrayal than the previous installment of Thor. And if you go to see this movie, stay til the end of the credits to see a super sneak preview... aww... I don't want to spoil it, but it is an easter egg to show you who the REAL villain is and set you up for the Avengers 2.
Already in the works, in addition to another Iron Man, are sequels to Captain America and Thor that are set for 2013 and 2014, respectively, with ANOTHER Avengers movie set to follow those. Marvel and Stan Lee have scored big time with this AMAZING hit movie and I will most likely go see it again in the theater for a second and maybe even third time... last movie that I went to see multiple times in the theater was the Star Wars prequel trilogy/ Matrix trilogy.
So if you go see NO OTHER movie this summer, the AVENGERS is a MUST SEE... after all it has just about EVERYTHING you go to the movies to see, action, comedy, and even a little romance thrown in for good measure.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this has been the one and only Quiet Mouse. I'll see YOU at the movies!!
