Perfect blend of strong individual characters, amazing dialogue and Whedon's trademark humor. This is a record-breaker over $200 million in opening US weekend and amazing numbers overseas...will easily break the billion dollar mark. If you enjoy action movies, whether you are a Marvel fan or not, this is a must see!

Can't remember last time i was at a movie theater..whenever they came out with VCR's...Friend of mine loved it but he loves all action movies...I guess i'll wait 6 months for the DVD...thanks for the review and pardon me for the pic below, i just can't help myself....

LOL! I was never into the Avengers but I did enjoy Downey as Iron Man. Blending these characters is a huge task and Joss succeeded...writer and director, this was his baby and it showed!

The Avengers has just topped a billion dollars in box office world wide...in two weeks! Disney has announced there will be a sequel, hopefully they are smart enough to keep Whedon as writer and director.

First movie I have been to in well over a year. I actually enjoyed it, even though I really wanted to see Blue Like Jazz.

Then who dragged you to see the Avengers?

For what it's worth, I saw that there's a sequal already in the works. Apparently they are going to work some new characters in. I'm guessing that they're a bit on the non-conventional side, but it should be interesting to see Jack Daniels and Tripe M (Mini-Marlboro-Man) in action.

Avengers passed to 600 million mark today in domestic box (third all time) and over 1.4 billion worldwide...finally, a movie that I liked that other folks do also!
