				Why watch this? 
				The first great super-hero team-up film. It does not disappoint. 
				Plot Summary: Nick 
				Fury, the director of the agency S.H.I.E.L.D. assembles a team 
				of Earth's mightiest superheroes to combat a mischievous and 
				powerful being, Loki, who threatens the Earth. This team must 
				overcome their individual differences and learn to work together 
				to stop the emerging threat and his alien army from enslaving 
				humanity. Dad's Preview: 
				As a DC Comics fan, I was initially a little sad that Marvel's The 
				Avengers was the first "team-up" movie to hit big. I resisted... 
				yet 
				Marvel Studios (helmed by producer Kevin Feige) won me over, and 
				it is truly a good thing. The 
				set-up started way back in 2008 during the post-credits of 
				Ironman 
				(2008). 
				The planning, the build-up, all led us to this pivotal moment in 
				comic film history. You have to love a studio with a plan. The 
				powerful Loki is 
				an excellent villain for the team to take on... and 
				finally, Marvel 
				got the Hulk right!
