I feel that my first ever film review should be The Avengers ( I refuse to call it Avengers Assemble, because it is a lame name), in honor of the MASSIVE opening weekend it had. $200 million in one weekend? Biggest ever movie opening? The film totally deserves every single positive comment/review/critic it receives.


My friends will tell you that I am a comic book geek and that I love all things superhero, but I didn't let that cloud my judgement, I didn't let the fact that Captain America is my favourite superhero sway me and most importantly I did not read one review of the film before seeing it. I wanted to experience it in an isolated and private way, I wanted my own thoughts to form and not to be thinking of what this critic or that critic said. 


I'm not going to go into all the technical aspects of the film and sprout about camera angles and lighting effects, because quite honestly I have NO idea what any of it means. I know when a shot looks good and I know how a film makes me feel and Avengers made me feel happy. 


It was a film where I didn't worry about the outside world, I was content to be there and I could have stayed watching it for another 3 hours. I didn't worry about how long was left, or wish I was somewhere else. My eyes did not move from the screen once. I was hooked. It was funny, really funny, a hell of a lot funnier than so called "comedies" that come out every month. I laughed and I smiled and my breath was taken away. The special effects were to say the least, INCREDIBLE, like totally Oscar worthy. The stunts were perfect and the acting was spot on, each actor gave their all and you honestly felt like they were having as good a time as the people watching were. 


It felt fresh, not like the tired genre conventions normally seen in superhero films, there was no romance (shocker), there wasn't a human villain.


A week after I saw the film I still can't find a single fault, well maybe one- Thor's accent. I mean WTF?! It was a mix between Australian and British and it just sounded wrong. Though after a few scenes I didn't really notice. 


So there we have it- my review of The Avengers. If I had one word to describe it...EPIC


I hope ya'll enjoyed it and I hope it was an okay review :) 


P.S GO SEE THE FILM!!! 

So I've decided to start a film review blog. I know its not a new or original idea but I've been thinking about it for a while and I thought its finally time to combine my love of writing and books. I might even throw in a few book reviews just to mix it up a bit. 

I LOVE going to the cinema, there's something so special about sitting in a room with a bunch of stranger all excited to see a film. You literally see everyone at the cinema, parents, teens, granny's, people who have been dragged along, people who've waited years for a certain film. EVERYONE. I think that's why I like it so much, its so random. 

The only downside to the cinema is afterwards. When the films over and you just want to talk about it with everyone, you pray for people to bring up a film do you can talk about it. I love sharing my opinions and after I've seen a film my mind is swimming with comments. So that's why I've decided to make this blog into a film blog, I was bored of talking about myself and no one was reading. But at least even if no one still doesn't reading it, then I get to say my views :) Enjoy
