Matt’s Review: ‘The Avengers’ is the Epitome of Summer Blockbuster Fun
Posted by: | Comments
GRADE: A
The last couple of months Marvel has been in-your-face with The Avengers marketing team working in full force. While I had reservations about showing so much of the film in teasers, trailers, featurettes, behind-the-scenes photos, and other sorts of promotion, the marketing team effectively sold this movie without giving away too much. Only one big moment was ruined by a trailer, something that is more common these days than not. Thankfully, there was so much more to this film than what was shown in all these previews. The Avengers was a fun-filled, surprisingly funny, Summer blockbuster that will give The Dark Knight Rises a worthy foe for the crown of Summer Box Office King.
Second ‘The Avengers’ Trailer Shows Team Chemistry and Much More Action

It was less than a month ago that we got a teaser Super Bowl spot for The Avengers. While that was just a small taste of the upcoming film, this second trailer is like a big spoonful. This time around we get to see the team of alpha males bicker a bit, and some of the elaborate action pieces — because of this, some plot lines are spoiled. If you don’t want to have too much spoiled for yourself and want everything to be fresh when you see The Avengers after May 4th, skip this trailer.
Check Out The Best Trailer From The Super Bowl, ‘The Avengers’ TV Spot

I’m sure many of our readers were watching the Super Bowl yesterday, and I’m sure a lot of you also made sure to pay attention to the commercials within the game. With the low scoring affair on display yesterday, I’m sure some actually considered the commercials more entertaining. The commercial spots are uber-expensive, but each year the upcoming Summer blockbusters usually put their marketing campaigns into full force with a Super Bowl spot — but notice the absence of a The Dark Knight Rises tease. The best movie ad from the game yesterday was hands down The Avengers spot, which can be seen after the jump. Actually, if you check out this video, you will notice it’s a little bit longer than what was shown on TV yesterday — so call this an extended Super Bowl spot.
‘The Avengers’ Teaser Hits, Boasting Six Superheroes

Finally Marvel Fans get more than just a still image of their beloved heroes in action. The upcoming The Avengers, the culmination of six different heroic Marvel Superheroes into one film to save the Earth, looks like it has a lot of potential. Even making one superhero film great is extremely difficult, imagine creating an uber-film with six of them. That has always been my biggest concern, how is the screen going to be big enough for all these headlining characters? I guess we will have to wait until next Summer to truly find out. Hit the jump to see the teaser.
GRADE: C
The easiest way to describe Captain America: The First Avenger is a cut and paste screenplay trying to hold up a Summer blockbuster. Take a formulaic story about a hero, insert the Captain America tale, and that was this film. It wasn’t a complete disappointment, because it had a lot of scenes that work individually — nice character building moments, some nice action, and funny dialogue. But pieced together as a whole, Captain American: The First Avenger was not a cohesive success.
I absolutely adore this kind of parody. Thinking of ridiculous movie sequels and premises is not far from my mind on a daily basis, so these fake movie posters as apart of Scott Pilgrim vs The World‘s marketing put a big grin on my face today. Empire has the exclusive look (via Collider), featuring five posters from Chris Evan’s character, Lucas Lee’s, ecclectic career as a movie star. Lee is the second of Ramona’s (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) ”seven evil exes” that Michael Cera’s Scott Pilgrim has to defeat in order to win her heart. Check out the posters after the break.
