Marvel's The Avengers

So I'm watching this tomorrow, 1 day after it's been released in Singapore, in 3D.

I can't contain how excited I am, since I hardly ever watch 3D movies. The last one I watched in 3D was Rapunzel and that was in Penang, Malaysia, so yes it's the price of a Singaporean normal 2D movie and is well, worth the price. Haha. (I think it was RM14/16.)

Well tomorrow is gonna be a good day. I can just feel it.

So I had such a good day yesterday! It feels slightly bittersweet that I'm having this much fun, considering that I still have one more exam to go in a week's time, and I really should be staying home and mugging my face off... I'm not really the mugger type, it just makes me feel ill and sometimes I feel so ill, I really do succumb to some fever or something. I think it's all in my mind.

But anyway, THE AVENGERS WAS SO GOOD.

Here's 5 things I liked about the movie!

Mini Spoiler Alert, so don't read beyond this point if you plan to
soak up the whole movie in all its goodness without others' opinions.

5 things I liked about The Avengers' movie:

1. Robert Downey Jr's character here (Ironman/Iron Man) is so incredibly self-absorbed, rude and annoying. With the added fact that he's just simply so intelligent, I think I grew quite fond of his character in the show.

I think a lot of movies portray 'irritating' characters in such a matter that you will simply detest them (and their purpose in the show is really for viewers to hate them haha) but here Iron Man's obnoxious personality is really quite hilarious to the point it becomes likeable, to some extent anyway. Haha. (Other than Iron Man, I think Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory is one of those characters that are so absurd and inconsiderate but still so likeable.)

2. The Avengers has a combination of characters from different movies. It's really refreshing for the viewer because of the "scope" of the movie, covering a few main lead characters rather than one or two main leads which can get a little tiresome and boring sometimes. As a bonus, we also have a very presentable cast: Handsome guys... Pretty girls...

The full cast list here.

3. Great mix of physical and verbal humour, action, more humour, heartfelt moments (briefly)!!! The entire theatre was laughing out loud at so many points, it really felt like a house party.

4. Unparallelled Computer Generated Imagery (CGI)
I simply love CGI for its ability to really portray a specific scene, say the fight scene with all the aliens. I mean, duh, dressing people up in alien costumes and masks and make-up is gonna cost too much and takes too much effort, and these "aliens" can't be jumping up and off buildings like they should in this movie, so that's troublesome. They also can simply look like they're celebrating an uncreative Halloween in the middle of Manhattan since they're all dressed similarly. Haha. So that's where CGI comes in and makes it all come alive with less effort, less cost.

Also, I think the CGI here is better or equivalent to Transformers' CGI (the latest one). For the record, I'm not quite a fan of CGI because it can look so artificial and I feel like a fool if I could "believe" that movie on the screen. (Reference: The movie "Immortals") The CGI in "Immortals" had me laughing so much because it looked simply too unrealistic and at times, odd.

5. Last of all, the development of the story was really detailed and "left nothing out", and the filming was impressive.  

There were no apparent loopholes in the story that left me going like "Huh? What was that?" and the filming was impeccable. I loved the different points of views, in terms of camera angles and the moment when there was complete destruction and suddenly the camera (in the position of an overturned car) turned 360 degrees just like the car did. Another moment was when they filmed Captain America in the side mirror of some truck or something. I think it really added some depth into the filming that made the show so enjoyable.

ALL IN ALL, I would rate it a 5 stars! The movie had a good duration (You really get your money's worth), good storyline, good CGI, handsome cast. Haha.

So please go watch it if you haven't! You won't regret it.
