UPDATED: Review of The Avengers movie is up!

If you haven’t seen the new Avengers trailer, check it out:

Crazy, right? Even the characters in the movie are surprised when that big thing chasing Iron Man comes around the corner.

“Guys, there’s a big fucking thing chasing me! A… thing! No idea what to do. I’m heading your way so you can get a look at it – I do need help, but I really just want to see the looks on your faces when you see this… this thing! What the hell is it? A robot? A monster? A space ship? I’m open to suggestions at this point!”

“That is a big fucking… thing! I don’t think my handgun is going to be much help here. Uhm… Thor? Cap? You guys want to… uhm… do… I don’t know… something? (And yes, ‘do something’ is my official recommendation.”

CAP: “Huh. Don’t think a punch to the face is going to do it this time. Thor?” THOR: “Verily, that is a big fucking thing. Perhaps I can hit it with my hammer while Hulk does the ‘Hulk Smash’ thing he does?”

I guess we’ll find out what the big fucking thing is and how they beat it this summer!

SPOILER: It probably doesn’t kill all of the Avengers.

Oh, and I guess the movie is called “Avengers Assemble” in the UK because when you say ‘The Avengers” in the UK, they think of the spy-fi TV show and not of Marvel’s swash buckling comic book heroes.
