What could be called the mother of all superhero movies has finally arrived and has already smashed box office records all over the word. Admittedly I'm rather fed up with the super hero genre but even that couldn't stop me from seeing this one. The plot has Loki arriving on earth wanting to rule and being met by the team of heroes we've all come to know as The Avengers. The film is basically non-stop action and CGI galore, with some steady doses of humor thrown in for good measure. The cast, led by Downey Jr, is top notch. The script gives each character some depth and challenges to overcome, allowing them to grow into the team they will inevitably become. The film also has the requisite amount of explosions, gunfire, invading aliens and large metal dragon-like monsters to please comic book fanboys the world over. If you actually wanted to see this film, then I don't see how you could be disappointed with the result. About as good as any film of its kind could be, that is until the sequel of course.
