The Avengers is one of the best Hollywood blockbusters I've seen in quite a while.

All the Marvel related films of late have been decent, with Avengers being the best of the lot so far.

The new Batman is now the next big one and hopefully the best of the lot. New Spiderman will be interesting, though i hated the last one.

I'm 28 and have seen them all through the years. I just thought that i laughed a lot more during Reunion, than i did for the 1st - and they utilised Jim's Dad brilliantly

I really wasn't expecting much from the Avengers I thought it was going to be a bit cheesy, and a bit too 'USA, USA, USA' but I have to say it was brilliant a quality action fest helped by a great cast, even the dude playing captain America does a good job at making him likable, I usually hate anything to do with CA.

Not seen the new one yet, but agreed.

Me and my mate said same thing after walking out of cinema. It was too obvious what was coming in every storyline, especially i thought with Jim's dad ( though the end scene was probably funniest in film ). Overall though I laughed but not that often. Every time it felt like the really easy joke, but i guess that's American Pie.

The first at the time felt like something different, something new. I definitely related to what was going on. I guess i could actually relate to some characters in this one, but the spark and energy the first 2 had wasn't really there for me. It wasn't a bad movie. Just expected too much probably, and maybe i've moved on from what i liked as a teenager.

Not a high school based film. Doesn't count.

I watched Moneyball and Warrior today. To my surprise I preferred Moneyball. The 2 hours went pretty quick.

My favourite high school film is Dazed and Confused, probably followed by American Graffiti (that is a high school film isn't it?). Anyway, sad news about Adam Yauch (MCA) passing away. His film production company have been responsible for backing some great projects since their set up, including; Exit Through The Gift Shop Burma VJ Wuthering Heights Meek's Cutoff Howl Dark Days We Need to Talk About Kevin Dear Zachray And the upcoming Samsara, by the guy who did Baraka. Shot on 70mm over five years, it looks breathtaking and a fitting tribute to MCA.
