Avengers movie doesn\'t disappoint.

This weekend my friends and I waited in line at the Maya Cinemas Theatre to see the much-anticipated Avengers movie, and by much-anticipated I mean that we had been waiting for this film for a few years now and were nervous about how it would turn out.
Like all fans of The Avengers, I had my doubts as to whether the new film would carry with it all the charm and character that has made it such a strong series in the world of comic books. Additionally, Marvel has been building to this moment over the past four years with their other comic book movies, teasing us all along the way.
I\'m glad to say that I think it was a success and I was happy with the way that the plot and characters were handled.
Not only that, but my wife and friends were also happy and felt that the film didn\'t disappoint.
My wife, Amber, who is only vaguely familiar with the characters, said, "the movie had a lot of the character-building drama that really got me to know who these people were."
As someone who didn\'t grow up with Avengers comics stashed all over her room (next to all the Batman and Spider-Man comics like I did) she said that the movie was easy to get into without having to know all of the history between the characters — of course, if you did know all of that fine history you may be treated to some inside references that would just skip over the average viewer.
But the accessibility for viewers new to the material is really what surprised me most about the film\'s plot and dialogue.
Any die-hard fan will know that some plot elements have to happen between certain characters and for key elements to take place, so at some point the film is sort-of predictable. But this film nailed those elements with such a style that it kept my interest as a fanboy by keeping the pace fast and entertaining during these absolutely necessary scenes. It\'s not an easy thing to do to please two entirely different audiences with the same body of work.
Of the five friends there, including my wife, only one of them has the insight into the Avengers universe like I do and he was ecstatic as well, especially at the end of the film when the sequel\'s next villain is briefly introduced.
"Dude, it\'s Thanos!," said my brother-in-law Jeremiah. "I can\'t wait to see how they play this out."
If the name Thanos means nothing to you, don\'t worry, it doesn\'t have to. The name isn\'t even said in the film, it\'s just a smiling face teasing the audience. But if you are familiar with that name then you know exactly what\'s going to happen and you\'re asking yourself the same question: "I wonder how they\'re going to play this out."
Basically, a movie like this should welcome new viewers, and it does. It should also treat the long-time fans well with sub-layered content, which it does, gratuitously.
