Saw 'Avengers Assembled' in the week. Better than I thought it would be. The Whedon groupies have been vastly exaggerating how complex and interesting the characterisation is (seriously, they're just full colour cardboard cutouts instead of being black & white) but the script doesn't take itself too seriously and all the major players put in reasonable performances, nobody is phoning it in. The SFX are first class and there are a couple of genuinely funny lines.

It's still as dumb as a brick but it's endearingly so, like a dog chasing it's own tail.

If you're looking for 'popcorn blockbuster' to watch on an evening on the sofa, you could do much, much worse. One thing though - in the cinema I went to see it at, it seemed incredibly loud. Might not want to crank up the home cinema too much unless you live in a detached house.

Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter.
WTF?

I feel my brain shrank a little during the trailer for that, it receded from my skull in horror at the prospect of a film, somehow, less intellectually stimulating than Wild Wild West.

"Soylent Green" is crap.

Yeah I was referencing that last line

I keep watching this trailer, genuinely excited by a film at the cinema, first time for a while
