I may not see The Avengers as frequently as does Dean (from Mark Tatulli's Heart of the City), but overall both Mrs. Curmudgeon and I were impressed. I bring up my better half because, sadly, she lacks my careful study of the art of sequential narrative, and so can bring a (perhaps healthier) outsider's perspective to this genre. I will say my worst fears about Captain America's uniform were realized: you just can't make wings on the side of one's head look anything other than silly in a live-action movie, no matter how well they complement a costume on the page of a comic book. But since that's about my only criticism, consider this an endorsement of the summer's biggest blockbuster.
And the new Batman film is just around the corner...
