REVIEW: The misguided god, Loki is offered an
extraterrestrial army if he can retrieve the powerful energy source known as
the Tesseract. An unlikely group of people with superhero powers including Iron
Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, and Captain America join forces along with the
espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to save both the Earth and Asgard from
Loki and his army, and the Tesseracts immense power.
OPINION: An
excellent superhero action movie that will appeal to men and women of all ages.
I saw it in 3-D, but I don’t think it added much to the overall enjoyment of
the movie. It would also be a great treat for fans of the work of Joss Whedon.
I can’t wait for the sequel!
IDEAS: The
Avengers include superhero reincarnations of the Norse gods Thor and Loki. The
Avengers serve as a great introduction to a lesson on mythology and can segue
into the reading of mythic fiction.
