The Avengers Arrive

The Avengers have arrived.  They stormed the theaters on May 4 to great, though not unexpected, success.  I for one was not exactly sure what to expect, not that that stopped the expectations from being high.  I think the movie was well done; it's not an easy to take six Marvel superheroes, each with their own very dedicated fan base, and bring them together in a movie that works for everyone.  Every avenger is displayed impressively and receives their fair share of the spotlight.  My one issue with the movie is Captain America, while I loved his movie, and he's great of course, I can't help but wonder what his power actually is?  When asked on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, he answered (albeit jokingly) "he's a really nice guy."  I know he was kidding, but to me that pretty much sums it up.  His greatest asset is his sheild, and he got that from Howard Stark.  Other than that, I have no problems with The Avengers, it was a quality action movie with a surprising amount of humor.
