User blog:Kayla L.H./'The Avengers' 2012 movie

I just got back literally an hour ago (the movie theater isn't exactly right down the street from where I live) and decided to write this review immediately. There should be no spoilers, but I make no absolutes.

I would like to start out by saying that this was BY FAR my favorite Marvel movie. I haven't ever read any Avengers comics (a problem I hope to fix), but I thought from reading online biographies on this site and comicvine about certain Avengers, I might like it.

I did. My hopes have never been very high for Marvel movies with my hopes being shattered more often than not, but I decided to give it the same fair shot I've given all of the others. With my liking of the recent Marvel release 'X-men: First Class', my hopes were higher than usual.

I walked into the movie theater with my friend and the usual pre-movie chatter was happening. There were people in this theater from the ages of approx. 3 to late 60's, so I thought there was going to be a lot of talking throughout the movie.

This was the first movie I've ever seen in IMAX 3-D, as I'm not a huge fan of 3-D movies but my friend convinced me, but I was extremely happy. Once the movie began, all talking ceased. It was that kind of epic. Right from the start, I knew I was in for a show.

And what a show it was. There was just the perfect mix of action, humor, and potential romance thrown in that anyone could enjoy it, no matter the age, gender, etc.

There were frequent laughs throughout the entire theater due to the movie playing something extremely serious, but doing it in a way where right after that part was finished, they made you laugh. I never really expect superhero movies to make me laugh, but this one did. There's no way to describe how they did, but anyone who has seen the movie knows what I'm refering to.

I'm a huge fan of superhero teams, as with single superheros, you know there's a 99% chance they're not going to be killed off. With teams, you never know. There's always that fun in seeing the chemistry between the different people. They started out with the typical 'it seems as if nothing will get these people to work together' scenario, but brought them together in a spectacular fashion at the end of the movie with them working together.

The action sequences had amazing special effects, but it wasn't where it was an overload on the senses. You could focus on everything and take it in while still having an active mind pondering what will actually happen in the movie.

If you haven't seen the movie yet, and you're worried that it's one of those movies when the best parts are shown in the trailers, this movie is most definitely not one of them. There were PLENTY better scenes in the movie. I haven't stopped talking to my mother, who dropped me off and picked me up, about the movie (Hey! I'm still 16 and without a license!). It's a movie that is guarenteed to leave you talking about it for days.

In case I haven't made my point yet, this movie rocked! I would go see it again in a heartbeat, but, unfortunately, I can't.

Please let me know in the comments below what you thought of the movie if you've seen it already or what you think the movie will be like to you if you plan to go.
