3 generation movie date

What a nice surprise! Jon called Mom to suggest we go to a movie. Cathy had a Mary Kaye appt. in Springville, where Bigfoot is currently located. Coming down from SLC with Jon were his sons Kevin and Michael. We had not had the chance to see any of this family since we came down from ID. Yes we should have taken some fam pics. Sorry
Could we find out if Avengers was playing nearby? Neither boy had seen the movie. That Marvel flick had been on our to-see list for a while. Luckily, Avengers was playing in Provo--only one showing, an early afternoon  matinee, which would fit in everybody's plans. It was a fun experience for Mom. She loves going to movies with family. It was a treat for her to sit between a son and a grandson. Below are a couple of thoughts about this film.

First of all Avengers is a comic book extravaganza. The filmmakers, obviously a bunch of comic geeks, gathered several heroes from Marvel comics and films: Thor, Captain America, The Hulk, The Iron Man, Hawkeye and Black Widow. And they wove together an appropriately epic story of how these special characters might come together as a super team (named The Avengers). How about to save the world and the total of humanity? Sounds about right.
The down side for the PG-13 rating included some very evil villains, a lot of apparent violence and some terrible destruction of this and that and New York City.
The upside for us was well written witty dialog for the heroes as they interacted with each other. And we were impressed by the quality and quantity of special effects, to the point that the film could almost be categorized as an animation.

Becca, Mom and I enjoyed the film as did the boys. The Hulk scenes were among our favorite, We all would have liked more scenes with Pepper Potts, The Iron Man's close friend. Look for a sequel or two or three.
