This will be a short blog.

Friday, two friends and I went to see The Avengers. It is, in a word, AWESOME.

The basic plot is Loki (the villain from Thor, played by Tom Hiddleston) came back from the black hole he was in and stole a power supply from S.H.I.E.L.D. This power supply is supposed to open a portal and let an alien army invade Earth.

S.H.I.E.L.D., led by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) recruits the Avengers--Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Hawkeye (Jason Renner)--to first recover this power source, to defeat Loki, and then to defeat the invading alien army. However, as you can imagine, the team's own personalities tend to conflict.

There are a couple of absolutely amazing scenes in this movie. It'll make you laugh and cheer and it will break your heart. My favorite character dies. I nearly started crying.

However, the Hulk laying the smackdown on Loki will instantly cheer you up. That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

This is absolutely destroying box office records. It had the biggest opening, and it has made over $200 million the fastest.

And it's a must-get in my DVD collection.

Till next time.
