I am not a comic book or super hero fella, but for some reason my son it's nuts about super heros.
He is bugging me to see the movie (he is 6). I am hesitant due to the violence, that GIF didn't help.....I would appreciate some parents opinions on the film.
Cheers
Other than the previews, (Dark Knight Returns and Prometheus) the movie was great and pretty kid friendly. My younger kids are 10 and 12 and loved every second. They have seen the 2 Batmans though so it would take more than the Avengers to scare them. It's on par with Iron Man and Thor.
Sounds like a good excuse to go see it first.

I brought my 3 and 4 year olds but I am the first to admit that I let them watch movies before they should.
The 3 year old was asleep within 30 minutes and woke up with about 30 minutes left. The 4 year old made until the last 20 minutes and fell asleep.
What they did see, they loved. It was "Hulk Smash" for the rest of the day.
That gif is slowed down so you can actually see what is happening. In the movie it's only a couple seconds long.

Took my seven year old and she absolutely loved it. Most of the flick is kid friendly except for one scene where a guy gets a spear through the chest. That part was pretty graphic but by far the worst 'violent' scene.
What a great weekend for puns with Avengers beating the newcomer Battleship.
Avengers sinks battleship, Avengers torpedoes battleship and so on...
Those are about as funny as the one liners they used in the movie. The only marvel characters to pull those off are Deadpool and spider-man and neither were in the movie. Hawkeye could have maybe pulled it off but in the movie they made him into a Tom Cruise mission impossible cool guy. lame
There's also a scene in Stuttgart involving an eyeball which could disturb a kid (or at least it did my 20-year-old friend ) and the one with Hulk chasing down Black Widow might scare a young child, but I agree that it's kid-friendly for the most part.
I just watched this great video linking the 5 movies going into the Avengers (Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America) really straightened out a few things for me:
one thing i don't get now after watching that video is, where was War Machine in The Avengers? did Stark just forget about his other suit and capable pilot/friend Rhodes? if i'm Stark and i learn that an alien invasion force is attacking NY, i call him and tell him to suit up. hopefully they can at least work him into some of the sequels
I suggest you guys see Chronicle. Action movie from January. The action, story, and effects were better than anything in the Avengers. I actually cried in the theatre for the first time in an action film since the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. Absolutely incredible.
Sweet baby Jesus - what scene in Chronicle made you cry?
I liked it the first time I saw it when it was called The Craft.
After so much hype, I just came back and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. A lot of needless posturing/dialogue, which overshadowed the positive which was some really good CGI. I can't believe some people compared this to The Dark Knight. I'll never trust their reviews again. This was more like the last Transformers.
Chronicle was alright, but it's nothing compared to The Avengers. cool premise and they did great things with such a small budget, but Avengers is everything you could ever want from a superhero movie

I guess they just wanted to focus the movie on the 6 main avengers in it. Some people thought that they would throw in Spider-Man as an easter egg but i guess they decided to go a different direction.

I thought Spider-man movie rights are owned by Sony and could not be put into the Avenger's film

Thats a good point. War Machine would have been pretty cool in it, although I understand why they left him out. Maybe the Avengers 2.
I'm behind you. The Avengers was the most boring movie I have seen in years, and I probably average two movies a week in the theatre. All of the plot was concentrated the first and last scenes and all of the action was in the last scene and one in the middle where the ship is under attack. The vast majority of the film was dull conversation between regular humans. Lame.

Chronicle had better effects and action The Avengers? Give me a break, the end sequence of The Avengers is one of the best action scenes ever put on film and the CGI in The Avengers disgraces most movies including Chronicle.

It's hard to imagine that this movie has been in the making since 2008
I dont see how people are surprised that this is breaking so many records when they've used the most ingenious marketing ploy ever. Using 5 blockbuster movies to promote a single movie
