Marni

Jason: Every summer, these big blockbusters come out, and I get really excited. Like, I totally buy into the trailers. And then I’m usually let down. It’s just not…the writing isn’t that good. It doesn’t deliver. But this summer, I really think The Avengers is gonna be great.

Marni: Really?

Jason: Yeah.

Marni: Well, I’m glad you’re so optimistic.

Jason: Well, for one thing, almost all of the critics agree that it is great. It’s gotten rave reviews. Pretty amazing cast, Robert Downey, Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson. And it’s the origin story of this team of superheroes. That kind of stuff, it’s hard to miss.

Marni: Well, it’s kind of interesting because the Iron Man series has done really well, but the other two films that they brought out, Thor and Captain America, neither of those did really well. It’ll be kind of interesting to see how they bring it together.

Jason is excited to see The Avengers. He usually feels disappointed by big summer blockbusters. But The Avengers has gotten great reviews from all the critics.

Jason says that The Avengers has a great cast. It tells the origin story of a team of superheroes. There have been several other movies about the same characters, and they have gotten mixed reviews. But this movie brings all our favorite superheroes together. Jason says it’s hard to miss with that kind of thing.

Do you like superhero movies? Who is your favorite superhero? Are you going to watch any summer blockbusters this summer?

What about superhero cartoons? ;) There are mother, father, their son and even the toy bear – they all ARE SUPERHEROS :D

Actually, everything that relates to superheros makes me laugh so much.

This theme sounds childish and nothing bad in it.

I like super hero movies because it makes my imaginations real and it gives life to my fantacies. I had seen the movie Avengers and Omg it was so cool, fun and fantastic. I really like it. Captain America, Thor, Hawkee, Black widow, Hulk and my favorite super hero Iron man his character is very cool and funny. The Avengers rock!!! \”/

It must get rave reviews in my opinion cause it delivered. In the last part of the movie, Hurk smashed the bad guy. it was too funny and made me and other guys laugh a lot.

but something that let me down is that enemy is too weak and big to defeat them.

they teamed up togethor to fight against the enemy. ^^ it’s interesting
