Heroic Dreams

I've always been a fanboy for super-hero films. It started at a young age, when I would bounce around my living room punching and kicking thin-air imitating the early live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman movies. I was obsessed with the idea of heroic people/animals gaining some sort of super power to fight evil and always managing to save the day. If super-hero was a real occupation, I would've grown up to be this a long time ago.

It wasn't until Marvel Studios hit the big screen before the new millennium with the first 3 blockbusters - Blade, X-Men and Spiderman, that I became totally fixated. I watched these movies and sequels, religiously. Always wanting more and waiting for the other famous comic book movies to come to life. Although they weren't always good (Elektra, Fantastic Four & Ghost Rider = WTF was this shit lol?), the one I always dreamt about. . .comes to life next year.

THE AVENGERS!!!!

The Avengers is the super group formed by Nick Fury, who owns a international agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D. He calls upon Earths current Super-heroes to fight a global threatening enemy. The Avengers consist of Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and of course Captain America.

This 2012 blockbuster looks too intriguing to be looked over. So far all three movies following up to The Avengers, have been more than average. The next installment before it is released will be the Captain America movie, which also doesn't look disappointing.

I'm excited to see how the heroes all perform on screen.

Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk and other co-stars.

The cast is an all-star lineup! With the exception of Bruce Banner/Hulk being replaced for the 2nd time (previously Bruce Bana & Edward Norton). Mark Ruffalo (Leo's sidekick in Shutter Island) isn't a bad actor though and his performance should be something to look forward too.

Guess we're gonna have to wait till next year. . .Meanwhile go see THOR!
