Before I start giving my thoughts on this movie my only regret is that I did not do this when the movie came out in the movie theater.
When I say what is the BEST superhero team movie, what comes to mind? Is it "X-Men" (talking about the original, not First Class) .. No. Is it The "Fantastic Four"? ... No. It's "The Avengers" and not just because the movie is most recent. "The Avengers" is directed by Joss Whedon, who is I think most remember for his work on the three episodes of "Firefly". It is not just what he did for the movie but also what Marvel did. Marvel did an experiment with their baby ( I'll explain later ) Iron Man. In the post credits of "Iron Man" you hear then see Nick Fury ( played by Samuel L. Jackson) talk about the Avengers Initiative. After saying those two words, everyone was waiting for the next Marvel movie to come out. What sets "The Avengers" from movie aside from movies like X-Men and the Fantastic Four is that for the most part every character had their own movie to tell their back stories. That did not happen with the other movies so it seemed a little rushed and you could not tell one story. You had to tell the background of every character and then explain how they got together as a team and oh yeah fight one common enemy. I believe that Iron Man is Marvel's baby for the simple fact that if the movie did not o as well as it did, I do not think we would have an Avengers movie. If you just look at the box of The Avengers, who do you see first ? Yup Iron Man.
Marvel released the movie in several different ways. If you go to Beat Buy you can get the movie on DVD for 16.99, DVD and Blu-ray for 19.99, 3d Blu-ray + Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy + Music for 29.99 or you could have gotten the Best Buy exclusive gift set which includes 30 sideshow collectible gift card, Avengers Guide, Lighten Lithograph Case, Litho Card and the four disc Blu-ray combo pack. Before I continue on how I was a little disappointed from Marvel, I just want to say that I think 3-D is a waste of time and the only reason why the movie studios have 3-D is just to make more money. I brought the Blu-ray and DVD pack and was disappointed to find out it did not include the digital download. I mean if you are giving me the Blu-ray and DVD why don't just add the digital download? Why do I have to buy the 3-D combo pack to get the digital download? I'm not going to use the 3-D disk so that is like wasting money for something that I'm not going to use.
The thing that I found cool was the app Marvel says you could download for free for the movie. With this app you could follow the movie and unlock personal profiles for almost each character.
The movie itself starts with action from the gecko. I'm not going to go scene by scene of the movie but I will say this. I think the personality of each superhero within the movie we have within our selfs. I also think the movie can show us how to work with different people and how sometimes we need to put aside our own mind set to get the job done. I also think Iron man stole the stole by how many one liners he had within the movie. The extra within the movie are amazing and I hope I will be able to see all of them. I do think this is the BEST superhero TEAM movie of all time mainly because of the build up. Over and out
