This was a fantastic movie. The action is sweet, the fighting is crisp, and the drama is compelling. All the character development in the comic comes through on the screen. This is a hard-hitting movie that can be enjoyed on many levels.
The writers did a superb job adapting this epic graphic novel to the screen. The casting was excellent and the special effects are mind-blowing.
The movie is long, but it needs to be, I assure you.
All in all, quite enjoyable. If you haven't read the novel before the movie, read it after. There's enough in it to make both the movie and the novel worth while.
This was the funniest movie I've seen this year. The voices were all extremely well played. The action sequences were choreographed flawlessly.
If you've ever thought Jack Black was funny in any movie he's been in, you'll enjoy this movie. Concepts like being blinded by sheer awesome and bodacity (noun - the degree of being bodacious) work well in context.
This is probably the best "Entire Family" family movie since the first Shrek. The age-range of the group I took to this movie was 23 - 26, and we were quoting scenes and lines the whole way home afterwards.
This is what a comic book to movie adaptation should be. Direct involvement of original authors, legitimate actors and actresses who work for the role instead of the check, and amazing visuals.
If films like this and The Incredible Hulk (2008) are what Marvel has in store from now on, then I am EAGERLY awaiting any future Avengers movies.
