Today, something a bit different that my usual action flick movies.

Morgan Freeman is one of my all time favourite actors. It is hard to even try to think of a favourite, although Shawshank Redemption comes close. Then there were Chain Reaction, Robin Hood, Driving Miss Daisy, and the list goes on.

Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, and a few other super hero types come together as a team. Lots of action, and I need that from time to time.

The heart of this movie is a complicated aliens-invade-Earth saga. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) join S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) to protect the world from Thor’s power-mad half-brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), and his alien hordes.

Industry analysts estimate that the movie might bring in over $125 million on its opening weekend, which would be the biggest opening for Marvel Studios since Iron Man 2. It is said that movie theaters are adding additional screens, pre-sale online tickets are selling out, and the midnight showing is expected to be “phenomenal.”
