To say that I was excited for this movie is an understatement. Ever since the Avengers, I have been eagerly waiting to see what Marvel has dubbed Phase Two would bring to the table, and kicking off Phase Two was Iron Man 3.

Wow just wow. Those were the first words that I could utter after watching the midnight premiere of Marvel’s The Avengers directed by Joss Whedon. After two and a half hours of just being blown away with constant amazing scenes I was literally spent. The amount of comic book fanboy moments in this film was insane and they were all so amazingly well done.
Nic Cage returns in this pseudo-sequel of the of the 2007 film Ghost Rider as the titular anti-hero. I call this a pseudo-sequel because really you don’t have to watch the first film to watch and like or not like this movie. If you did watch the first film, or you wanted to because you are OCD like that you will see some differences, and some of the same problems.
After the success of Thor many became extra excited to see what Marvel would do with one of its most classics characters, Captain America. And believe me they did not disappoint.
One of the reasons I loved the first X-Men movies was because I love Patrick Stewart, so I wasn’t certain how I would feel about this prequel showing a much younger Charles Xavier played by Scottish actor James McAvoy. But the trailers looked interesting so I decided to give it a try as I am a huge fan of super hero movies.
The movie I have been waiting for since it was first announced in 2009 has finally hit theaters and it did not disappoint. As a long time comic book fan, particularly of Marvel comics, it is amazing to see all my favorite characters translated from the page to the big screen.
