The Avengers

The Avengers is a movie I went in rather underinformed on; I had little knowledge of the current state of Marval’s Avengers, I hadn’t seen last summer’s Captain America movie and knew only the basics of his backstory here, and the only one of the characters I really knew anything about was the Hulk, and even there my knowledge was limited. I hadn’t even been keeping track of what Joss Whedon had been up to since Serenity very well. To some extent this was a problem; the movie told you enough to follow, but I had the feeling I would’ve understood better had I known more. Or maybe if I’d been in my younger years, when I saw a lot more movies like this.
( I would’ve liked this movie a lot more as a teenager... )
