The Avengers, what's all the fuzz about? -
17 May 2012, at 19:16
So I went to see this at the movies last week to find out what the fuzz is all about. I didn't really have high expectations since I knew it's just a high budget Hollywood movie with lots of money spent on special effects and even more on promotion and advertising, but I was disappointed even after having such low expectations.

Did you guys really enjoy this? Am I missing something here? I mean the effects are really nice and all, but effects alone don't make a good movie.

Since I'm a huge Marvel fan The Avengers is alongside with the new Spiderman the most anticipated movie this year. I know from the start that these kind of movies when you gather around all the superheroes at one place aren't about the story but for the effects, but I'm really looking forward to see it.

I guess you'll have to be a superhero fan to enjoy them :p

Yeah, I was never into comics and superhero movies, so maybe that's why I didn't like it.

Me neither. I used to love the Marvel comics of Spiderman. Spiderman, Peter Parker, Web Of Spiderman, I collected them all. But I was 12/13 years old or something. I started watching Hulk a while ago, but I just couldn't finish it. I won't watch this one. It doesn't interest me at all. Movies that's only about the special effects already don't interest me in general. A movie should be about the story and the special effects should be a way to be able to show that story in a good way only. Not the other way around.

If I have to recommend a really good movie right now, it would be Intouchable. A French movie, but a true hit here at the moment. It's drama, but I've cried of laughing so many times! Perfect combination :<3:

Hunger Games I also want to see!

Glad you liked it :D

I think François Cluzet is a great actor. Seen him in a couples of movies. And that black guy is just brilliant hahaha
