The Avengers (Disneycember)

Doug (vo): So, after years and years of build-up, all the hype has finally come to this: "The Avengers". There has never been a movie quite like this done before. Six* previous films starring individual superheroes that were all coming together for one event that was planned from the very beginning. Though you could look at them as individual stories, they were all leading up to one grand event. This was the event. (poster for "Freddy vs. Jason" is shown) Now, don't get me wrong. There have been crossovers before, but nothing like this and nothing this well thought-out. So, there was a little bit of a concern, "Would it pay off? This would definitely have a good opening weekend,no matter what. It's been bulit up so much. But would it be the gigantic hit everybody wanted? Would it be as good as the other Marvel movies, or, as promised, even better? Ten times better? Something spectacularly huge?" Well, the short answer is...yes. Not only was this film a mega, mega, mega, mega hit, but both critics and audiences alike agree it was a ton of fun and worth the wait.

*(Note: The number of movies that came out before "The Avengers" is actually five)

Story
Doug (vo): The movie centers around the return of the sinister Loki. He, apparently, is in cahoots with an evil force in space, who wants to...what else? Take over the world. Of course. (a clip of M. Bison saying the famous quote is briefly shown) He plans to do so using a magic scepter to hypnotize people and a gigantic alien army to open up a dimension to bring them into our world, enslaving mankind. Who can stop them? The Avengers, of course, most of them just having come off hit movies: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and even the Hulk, played this time by Mark Ruffalo. But also included are characters we haven't seen that much of, like Black Widow and Hawkeye.
