Why adults would watch super hero movies. I was invited along with my GF and her daughters family to go see the Avengers last night.
Full of over the top violence. Just silly. Very loud and dynamic but free of shrill HF so kudos to that my
To me the attempts at humor were poor. Very much a Hollywood formula film. The special effects don't do anything for me. I saw enough (obvious) CGI in the first twenty minutes to satisfy me for......well I don't know but a long time.
At least I wasn't a spoil sport telling nobody I attended the film with anything but niceties.
I have to wonder what seeing all that violence and killing does to desensitize kids. When I was a kid watching Bond movies......ah what's the point.
