Trivia
2012 Guide Analysis: "Though it sounds a slam dunk on paper, it's hard to deny that the 'Avengers' tie-in elements in the lead-up films to this event - "Iron Man 2," "Thor" and "Captain America"- have proven the worst parts of each respective film.
Still, years of planning and fan anticipation finally come to fruition for Marvel Studios and it has one of the biggest weekend's of the year to itself which should ensure bumper box-office.
The choice of "Buffy" and "Firefly" creator Whedon as writer/director should make for some fun banter and character scenes, the question is more if this whole endeavour will work in terms of overall storyline and big scale theatrics.
The first trailer certainly got fans of these characters fired up, even if Downey Jr. pretty much walked all over his co-stars. Will it be worth the wait? More importantly what the hell are they going to do with Hulk and the Skrulls?"
