The Avengers

I was finally able to get to the movies and see The Avengers as I was suggested many times that it was a must see. It's a fan service movie. If you know me personally you know I have a fond distaste for these. Not because they can't be good, but I just feel like they are cheap money grabs at the fan's wallets. If you've been a fan of the DC comic movies of late, you've already seen it, and I'm sure you LOVE it. Which makes me happy, because hey, you got something good!

For everyone else, well you probably had a decent time at the very least.

As for me, I payed for movie seats in a theater that was caving in. The ceiling was dripping, and fiber glass was hanging down. Kind of a drag, Shame on you Carmike Cinemas, that room should have been shut down! Now that I think about it, I should have snapped a photo of it. Seriously, my party couldn't decide if we should do an about face and demand our money back or just deal with it.

Aside from the appalling state of the theater room, Here are some things I noted about Avengers. Captain America has lovely eye lashes.

The scene where Nick Fury throws the bloody Capt. America cards on the table. Iron Man's chest Arc reactor wasn't glowing for the whole scene. He was also wearing a Black Sabbath Tee.

The only character that got any real screen time containing back story or personality was Iron Man. Thor came close, but it was needed because his brother Loki was the villain, it couldn't be avoided.

Mewling Quim was used. I love purple prose.

Hawk Eye's mind control reminded me of Mako poisoning.

To wrap this up @Gabe_Games said "I would sit it a pile of trash to watch that movie...so its worth it jem jem!" so this movie is defiantly worth seeing.

At Worlds End Everyone is a Captian

The Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End was a movie that is defiantly is worth seeing in the theaters. For a third part of a trilogy it did not meet the lack luster expectation one might hold to expect from the end of a trilogy. The whole movie was crammed with action and the plot will keep you guessing till the very end. It almost became predictable though in the sense because it seemed almost everyone got the title captain “They're just giving that title away” – Jack Sparrow and everyone was very busy stabbing everyone else in the back to meet their wants and needs.

At points though it was almost confusing as to what everyone was thinking, because of all the traitorisms and switching of ones goals. In the end, everything worked out in a sad yet unpredictable way for Disney. Some loose ends were left because the movies makers were trying to cram more action at the end rather than finishing up the story.

There is new joke material in this movie, such as Captain Jack’s hallucinations, so it’s not the same old rehashed jokes from the previous two trying to release some tension and make the movie more family friendly, while not making a new movie at all. Except for the sea turtle joke, which I believe was mentioned twice in the whole movie.

Also lots of new pirate faces appear in this one and they were all very unique and interesting, with a nice touch of added female roles in leadership positions. Some of the new pirates are from Singapore which one could clearly see were of Asian decent because of all the detail spent on costuming and stages/props for these characters.

The movie though is a bit drawn out to make it seem more epic, and it did fall short of ones expectations of how "dark" this one was suppose to be compaired to the others.

Overall I would believe this movie is a 4 out of 5.
