I’ve seen Marvel’s The Avengers, and I liked it. Technically, I’m not allowed to share too much about it at this point, but trust me when I say that it’s good, fun stuff. And that’s all I’m going to say about that (except for this great bit from Mark Ruffalo on his inspiration for the Hulk). (Update — Here’s my review ofThe Avengers!)
What I can talk about is an Avengers Giveaway! That’s right, we’ve got Avengers swag and you can win it.

Marvel’s The Avengers isn’t due to open in the USA until May 4th, but it’s already open in a few countries around the world. That means various movie reviewers have decided to break the embargo (after all the internet unites the world) and publish their reviews. Guess what? They’re almost all positive
“As creatively variable and predictably formulaic as the Marvel films have been, this one will not only make the core geek audience feel like it’s died and gone to Asgard but has so much going for it that many non-fans will be disarmed and charmed. This is effects-driven, mass appeal summer fare par excellence, that sought-after rare bird that hits all the quadrants, as marketing mavens like to say.” – Todd McCarthy, THR
“As written and directed by the ever genre-savvy Whedon, it’s a clean-burning, six-cylinder entertainment that exudes discipline in every particular, from the script’s balance of sincerity and self-effacing humor to the well-integrated visual effects to the keen sense of proportion that governs the ensemble. Whenever the possibility of boredom or excess rears its head, Whedon finds an elegant solution.” – Justin Chang, Variety
“This might be why Whedon has succeeded with The Avengers; he’s focused on the humanity of the characters. For example: Jeremy Renner and Scarlett Johannsen as Hawkeye and Black Widow respectively, both bring more depth than anything thought possible to two characters who could have been peripheral, but here become just as pivotal as The Hulk, Cap, Stark or Thor.” – Paul Veerhoven, The Vine
“As a lifelong comic book fan, I walked into The Avengers with the highest hopes and deepest fears. A little over two hours later, as the credits began to roll, I turned to the friend sitting next to me, smiled and exclaimed, “They actually did it!” What Whedon and Marvel have created here is not just extraordinary, but one of the most entertaining and satisfying comic book movies yet.” – Eric Eisenberg, Cinemablend
A special new featurette from The Avengers below the jump:
Two fun new clips from Marvel’s The Avengers were recently released. Just last night is this excellent encounter between Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) who is imprisoned at S.H.E.I.L.D. HQ.
Nick Fury is one cool cat.
Meanwhile below the cut is a clip from a battle royal between Tony Stark as Iron Man and Thor:
As I write this, I’m watching a bit of the red carpet interviews for the world premier of Marvel’s The Avengers. Yes, It’s a superhero film, but it’s also a Joss Whedon film and that has me excited. Check out this clip where Tony Stark… Read More »New Marvel Trailer features Tony Stark and Loki
Could this be the least exciting superhero movie poster ever?
Two new TV spots and a clip from the movie are here to pump you up about the new Marvel The Avengers movie. The first clip shows a bit of what Loki’s army looks like, the second TV clip reveals the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier and a clip from the movie shows the Black Widow as she gets called in from a mission.
Otherworldly enough for you?
Nice. Does that Helicarrier remind anyone else of a similar ship from Doctor Who?
Below the cut is the Black Widow clip and a new series of posters for The Avengers. The one above of Agent Coulson is actually a bit of a joke released for the actor’s 50th birthday.
First there was the Tronorail, now we have the Avengerail? Avengorail? Whatever.
