The Tunnel Movie (2011)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ey-23Jun11.jpg Pretty mediocre found-footage film. I really liked the backdrop, the environment was fantastic, but ultimately I thought that it could have been better... There were a few scenes wherein I couldn't suspend my disbelief which was a problem... Also, the fake-interviews-within got annoying after a while. Interesting at first, but otherwise not effective. Grave Encounters was better. ;) ... The Avengers (2012) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...e-poster-1.jpg An absolute blast... Started slow, but ultimately wound up having a lot of fun. Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk really surprised me; hands down best Hulk in modern movies yet. Loki was brilliant, as was Robert Downey Jr., Thor, and Captain America. I agree with Angra, though; as someone who hasn't read the comics, Hawkeye and Black Widow just seemed lame and unnecessary; they pale in comparison to Hulk, Thor, Ironman, and Captain America. Thoroughly enjoyable. Makes me want to watch Ironman, Thor, and Captain America again. Highly recommended, and worth seeing in the theaters. |

Though, Black Widow did mindfuck Loki into unintentionally revealing his plan - she played a God, a God who's thing it is, is to fuck with peoples heads. Hawkeye on the other hand...shot arrows at things in the movie, caused a little bit of damage. Was (IMO) largely only there to put a human side on things with his love interest. That and, someone that wasn't super-powered to have another fan service "in house" fight with the Black Widow. Though really? As a fan of the comic I have to say that Hawkeye wouldn't have lasted anywhere near as long as he did. Black Widow is actually powered. Not so much as the others, but she's got like soviet assassin training and she's also underwent experiments that have left her pretty much forever youthful, with enhanced strength and recovery. One comic said she'd be about half as strong as Captain America. Hawkeye, has always been the underdog - this is why he "fits" into the comic, maybe it's so that the readers can relate to someone that always feels the need to prove themselves, and can be blindly/stupidly heroic...which is pretty much what his character is, the kid that plays with the big boys. For the plot of the movie, I didn't really like his involvement...it seemed that he was only there for fan service to the on-again-off-again relationship he's had with the widow in comics... Personally though, I think it was too soon to put either of them in the movie anyways. Both of them were originally villains, stories we're now unlikely to see. |

where the characters revealed like the way you mentioned. And it seems Wasp & Ant-Man were more deserving than Widow & Hawkeye to be there but I guess they added them in the earlier stage like you said to put a human side on things. It's bit fun to guessing now that (after some 'events') Widow & Hawkeye may leave the group in any coming sequels and Wasp & Ant-Man will join then. :) Quote:

From someone who doesn't read the comics I'm thinking, "Ok, what makes her so special? Why does she get to be an Avenger with those guys?" By "underutilized" I really meant "I didn't see a whole lot of proof of her strength, so I'm not sure why she was there"... Then again, I think she was a bit more badass than Hawkeye. Quote:

... The Woman in Black (2012) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ie-poster1.jpg Wow. Just. Wow. This is one of those rare modern horror films that has me sitting back and saying, "Well, they sure don't make 'em like THIS anymore" (before I chase some delinquents off my lawn)... Purely atmospheric, slow-burner with great acting and writing - Plays up the horror tropes without being cliche. There were also some truly creepy/scary moments that made me jump. Bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed this and was especially impressed by the end. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it yet. |
