Watch. It. Now.

I'm not one for action. Not because I don't like the fight scenes. I love fight scenes. They just tend to have such boring story lines. Now, not saying that The Avengers had the greatest story line of all time, in fact I was probably just in awe of all the super heroes not to notice, but honestly guys... it was awesome!

Breaking box office records it's on track to be one of the highest grossing films of ALL TIME. Usually, I would scoff at such titles, but this one's well deserved. While I can appreciate the Scarlett Johansson sex appeal, when it came to her character Black Widow and Hawkeye, I couldn't help but feel like the spy and the archer were sub-par in terms of superhero status, and for some reason that bothered me.

As for everything else, and I mean EVERYTHING. Loved it. The actors, their performances, the storyline flow, the graphics, even the 3D. The Hulk even provided some timely and effective comic relief. An unexpected twist.

But I'm worried. There is a downside to this incredibly successful franchise. The threat of unsuccessful spin-offs. Thor, Ironman, and Captain America all have their own varying degrees of successful spin-offs, but Blackwidow... really?

Regardless of any potential future mistakes with the franchise it, to use the tween, is 'so hot right now'. So go on, ch-ch-check it out! Before it becomes one of those classics that people talk about and you haven't seen...
