The Avengers

Tali: The Avengers tells the story of a group of super heroes (or extraordinary people, depending on who you ask) as they assemble to form the ultimate crime fighting team.. wherever that crime may come from. This is perhaps one of the best movies I have ever seen. This film is able to transcend time, space and worlds in a way that isn't forced or awkward; has the best balance of humour, action and realness, amazing fight sequences, incredible graphics, etc etc. Even if you aren't into the Marvel mythology you will find this movie to be one of the best of the year (in the history of cinema?). I would suggest watching the other Marvel movies to gain some insight on the characters/their stories (especially THOR), or simply read a bunch of wiki articles.

Leo: Wow. Well I was waiting for this movie to come out basically since I was born. I have always loved the Marvel universe and the people living within it. Tony Stark is my favourite character basically in any movie simply because of how everyone relates with the guy who's cocky on the outside but really has a deeper side to him once you get to know him.....and did you see Pepper Pots in those shorts??????????? There are so many characters and each one of them has a great story behind them that we already know about from previous movies and they get further delved into here. Who doesn't love the Hulk? Who doesn't love it when Thor picks up his hammer and babbles about some Nordic mythology crap in his accent / shoots lightning? Who doesn't love it when Captain America throws his shield and starts taking lead of the avengers? Who doesn't love it when Hawkeye shoots his old-school bow and arrow (or so you think, until the arrow explodes and kills 10 guys when you only think he's got one)? Who doesn't love it when Natasha Romanov/Black Widow does......anything............? If you answered "I don't" to any of these questions you should also probably stop wasting valuable space at movie theaters when you go to see any movie worth watching because you won't appreciate it. All of those moments are magical even for people who have just recently familiarized themselves with the universe (read Tali's review for proof). Go see it and grab a nice delicious lamb shawarma after (or before, as I did).
