Honestly, with some direction that Hollywood takes now with films, I was apprehensive about seeing the Avengers, but then also I was intrigued because I have been a comic book geek kid now since I could remember. The story in my opinion for the movie wasn't completely strong, but on the same token, the action in the movie made up for it. It felt like a pride moment honestly as a comic book fan to see all the Avengers standing together in the battle sequences, very very moving. There was frequent use of cheesy one-liners, but to someone like me I think it kind of made the movie just a little bit more. All in all, if you love comics, you love geeky/nerdy things, seriously, go see this flick.
Pros lots of action, very good visual effects, nostalgia effect
