I had promised my eldest that I would take him to the Avengers movie when it came out.  I made this promise several years ago after a brief trailer at the end of his first Iron Man movie experience..he remembered and now it was time to collect!  He even wore his Avengers t-shirt!

So off we went to the local cinema in Ayr.  Not to be a ‘moaning mini’ or anything but by the gods going to the movies in the UK is no longer a cheap experience.  I will not list numbers but if the movie had been on DVD on new release we could have bought three copies for the price of seeing it in ‘kinda 3D but not really’.   But enough of that..what was the film actually like?

Excited to see the film dad!

Honestly it was very good.  It had a decent plot which moved at a good speed with a few twists in it.  Every hero was given development and screen time.  It retained a sense of humour which is sadly lacking in a lot of hollywood films now (it reminded me of the banter between Han Solo and Luke Skywalker at times) and unlike previous efforts the Hulk character was very good indeed.  I will not spoil surprises but it was a shame that the alien army for the big fight scene at the end was the same dumb cookie cutter foe that was almost identical to those in ‘Battleship’ and ‘Skyline’ and ‘Battle Los Angeles’ with a change of hair cut only in some places.

So we gave it an 8/10 or for me…worth the effort of going!
