Movie review: The Avengers
Apr. 29th, 2012 10:05 pmIt was strange experience, watching this movie. This will probably be the big one for Joss - good box office movie numbers, lots of money for the studio and get him offers to make lots of other movies. The movie was big, dramatic, enormous in scope, wonderful SFX, good acting - and I could care less. There wasn't any moment where I cared about any character, the outcome any battle or, after a while, whether any character even lived or died. In short this wasn't a Joss movie for me.
I left feeling like I had watched a good superhero movie - that just about anyone could have written and directed. It will be sad if this the movie that gets Joss into the Hollywood A-league because he did it by not being Joss. Congratulations to Joss for a big movie - but it just wasn't my kind of movie.

Maybe I can believe it now
Jul. 26th, 2010 11:05 pmAfter the pain that was Wonder Woman, I am reluctant to believe too much of these projects but I'm fairly sure that news like this means that Joss' stint on The Avengers is official! Still wish it was Emma Peel/John Steed-type Avengers though because Joss would do a frakking awesome job of that!
Even Stan Lee approves
Apr. 19th, 2010 11:12 pmFrom Superhero Hype!, Stan Lee on Joss directing The Avengers movie:
" I think it's wonderful. The man is so talented. He's really great. He's gonna do a good job."
