Let’s get real for a moment here, and say that the multi-billion-dollar juggernaut of the Marvel Cinematic Universe needs no introduction. I’ll just briefly run down the stuff you haven’t heard before: i.e. my opinions on the movies I’m too late to the party to cover.
– The Avengers is a flawed movie, but I can tell already that it’s a classic of our times – no matter how contrived all the fighting is.
– Thor is the worst film in the franchise at time of writing – mostly for the long swaths of nothing going on that permeate most of the film.
– I don’t care about the Hulk enough to watch it.
– Captain America: The First Avenger was lots of fun, but it really dragged around the middle and lots of the plot threads were left hanging by the rushed and incongruous “freeze” ending.
