The Avengers in 3D Movie

I have not been to a movie house for more than a year. For a mother like me with 3 years old son, it is better to watch movies at home. We just buy dvd's  like Iron man, Captain America and The Incredible Hulk. It has not only saved us money but saved us from my little boys tantrums inside the movie house too. When the Avengers movie came out on televison commercials, I got excited and told hubby that I want to watch  it on a big screen this time. He asked why,  I simply answered that I want to see my boyfriend, Captain America. 

Last weekend, me,  hubby and two kids, headed to the movie house  .We paid for the 3D glasses for $2.50 each = $10, $7.75 each for adults, $5.50 for child = $28.50 and $25 for the popcorn and soda. It is costly to watch a  movie but it was worth it. 

After a series of individual blockbuster movies of Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America and Thor, all these characters came together alongside with several other friends, Black Widow and Hawkeye in "Marvel's The Avengers". The rest of the characters are Loki, the bitter brother of Thor, Nick Fury, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Coulson, Nick's  right hand man.

The story revolves around the "Tesseract", the cosmic blue cube that gives its bearer unlimited power. Loki descends to Earth from Asgard to steal the Tesseract which had been entrusted to Nick Fury. After the Tessseract had been stolen, Nick  assemble a dream time of Super heroes and others with specialized skills. Nick get these Super heores together through the help of Agent Coulson.

The Hulk's services are needed to because the Tesseract exudes a radiation that will help track it and The Hulk, knows a little something about gamma rays. But because these are Super Heroes with  Super powers and Super egos. And so  a  great deal of time is spent having them talk a lot of trash and square off against one another to prove who is the toughest. The showdown and tension allow each other to have his her time in the spotlight. Thor vs The Hulk, Iron Man vs Thor,  Black Widow vs Hawkeye and so on.

Eventually they all came up together for one epic battle against Loki and his army in Midtown Manhattan and the high rise dazzling Stark Tower of Iron Man Tony Stark.The billionaire, playboy, genius philanthropist  has devised stunningly efficient ways to get his metal suit on and off.

The movie has come up with a script that is entertaining, full of wit, humor and energy that makes the audience lose track of the two and a half hour running time. As expected, the Avengers movie that is violent as hell ends up being an earnest plea for peace.
