Avengers Awesome-ble

[craigoxbrow]

Joss Whedon's The Avengers (Assemble) was the most fun had at the movies in months, possibly years. Best superhero team movie yet made (good as they are, even the first two X-Men movies are really Wolverine movies). The problem for Marvel now will be topping it. Can't wait to see what comes next.

(TWH casting - Jenny Agutter as one of the grimly pragmatic Watchers' SHIELD Council.)

It's also a pitch-perfect example of giving everybody spotlight time. It's a great Captain America sequel, a great Iron Man episode, a great Black Widow movie - everybody gets something vital to do in the final battle in particular, and good scenes throughout, and their own confrontation with Loki.
