The Avengers official trailer has been released! We’ve just crowded around a computer screen and this is the consensus:
– The music is terrible
– It’s clear that Robert Downey Jr is going to get all the best lines
– Will anyone care about Hawkeye?
So far there’s nothing overtly Joss Whedon to elevate it beyond the superhero movies that have been released this year, although seeing the Avengers assembled and interacting is a bit of a thrill. Tell us what you think and make your star rating predictions!
