Alrighty, a movie review! It's been a while, but I love doing these...
Okay, so I've recently watched the Avengers, Avengers 2, Winter Soldier, and Iron Man. (Do you see a pattern?) Here's the rundown: Avengers is really good. It's got violence, and some language, but a lot of funny dialogue, heroic deeds, and suspense, plus a good ol' superhero/modern-end-of-world feel to it. Thor's brother, Loki, teams up with an alien-robot race to take over the world, so S.H.I.E.L.D. must contact Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, and eventually Hawk Eye to save the day. The problem? They don't get along well. In fact, mayhem and dissension could appropriately describe this band of strange heroes with tons of emotional baggage. The team must learn to work together, or the world will suffer the consequences. Avengers 2 is once again riddled with violence and some language, but again has the same redeeming qualities. Hydra springs up once more, and after trying to defeat them, Tony Stark (Iron Man) decides to use the tesser from the first movie to give a robotic body artificial intelligence. The problem? The robot decides to blow up the planet. Oopsie, Tony Stark. The Avengers must deal with their haunting pasts and move on to save the world before its annihilation. The Winter Soldier: Oh, dear. I have mixed feelings about this. Captain America is awesome, and my favorite Avenger, but this movie is way violent with less monologuing and suspense and more gun battles. It's a crucial part of the Avengers however, and explains the backdrop for Avengers 2. In this movie, Captain America has learned to adjust to the modern world as a S.H.I.E.L.D agent, teaming up with Black Widow to save lives in secret missions. When communications between her and Captain America go sour because Natasha (Black Widow) was sent to find a computer drive with secret info without telling him, Captain America realizes that there's more to this than meets the eye. After the death of a beloved friend, Captain America old enemies are back and friendships are never what they seem. A story of redemption, forgiveness, and morality, Winter Soldier hits the mark a few times, but falls short of the good movies Marvel has been known for. Lastly, Iron Man. This has got some heavy stuff in it plus the usual violence, but overall I liked it. Tony Stark is a self-proclaimed, self-absorbed, witty billionaire who makes a fortune protecting America by developing explosives. A child prodigy in science and now a brilliant inventor, Tony Stark is sent to the Middle East to show his new weapon, when he is captured and forced to work for a group of terrorist. When trying to rebuild his weapon for them, he instead secretly creates Iron Man, a high tech exoskeleton. After escaping, Tony Stark rejects his life of weapon-making and heroically vows to protect innocent people, no matter the cost. What he doesn't realize is that the cost is much higher than he could know, and that no one can be trusted.
Over all, Marvel has done a good job, with good movies and strong characters. Human life is valuable to God, and we should do whatever we can to protect it. My favorite quote from Avengers is when, during a plane chase, Captain America tries to go and break up a fight between Thor and Loki, and Natasha tries to stop him. "They're practically gods," she argues. Captain America grabs his shield and looks at her. "There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure He doesn't dress like that." With that, he jumps out the plane to help Thor. God is good! Even when others try to argue that He doesn't exist, it doesn't change the truth. This is the end of Page Turner's movie review. Good-bye and enjoy some flicks!

You are one of the very best writers I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
