In the past, discussing Captain America comics or any superhero related topic for that matter wasn’t necessarily the coolest thing to do in grammar school. At the time, one would have been ridiculed and mockingly branded a nerd. Revisiting the subject in the present reveals a shocking paradigm shift. Mainstream pop culture and nerd culture have become synonymous. The past 10 years arguably could be classified as the Golden Age of Comic Book Movies. I never imagined my boyhood heroes would so aptly be depicted on the big screen. In fact, the recently released Captain America: Civil War may represent the pinnacle of multi-superhero comic book movies.

Movie Review: The Avengers

“The Avengers”, written and directed by Joss Whedon, kicks off what is shaping up to be the year of comic book hero movies. With The Amazing Spider-man and Batman (The Dark Knight Rises) slated for release in the next several months, the special effects artists will be showcasing a tour de force of visual wizardry. Make no mistake, story is important, but what really draws millions of moviegoers to the big screen are the eye-popping, ear exploding, thrill a minute action sequences. Having just attended a screening of “The Avengers” in 3D, I can confidently claim you will be witnessing one of the most entertaining visually compelling comic book movies ever made.
