Marvelous.

This year was Marvel’s year to finally bring out the movie they’ve been leading up to for what seems like forever! Yes, after four years and five movies The Avengers finally assembled and none too soon as it seems all kinds of evil is conveniently waiting to destroy the world!

The hype  around this movie was so massive I was almost apprehensive about actually seeing it due to the inevitable disappointment that comes with over-hyped movies. It’s happened quite a few times to me, Avatar for example, but I can say with great pleasure that The Avengers is not such disappointment!

All Gods go to heaven.

The superhero genre has shot to the forefront of modern day cinema over the past decade and this year certainly isn’t going to put a stop to that trend.

In 2011 there will be Thor, Captain America, X-Men: First Class and The Green Lantern. Thor was released first, outside of the summer blockbuster period, which was strange as it had the look and feel of a summer hit. The CGI, the action, the thumping music, Anthony Hopkins; what more could it need?
