This DVD is a great action film. So much going on I didn’t know what was happening half the time. Briefly, S.H.I.E.L.D. is an international peace keeping organization made up of Marvel Super Heroes from all the comics: Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, Thor, the Black Widow, Hawkeye. Many characters are played by the movie heroes (Robert Downy Jr. is Iron Man etc.) An uncontrollable energy source is activated which opens up a space hole and allows the entry of Loki, an exiled God, and his gang. They steal the Teseract (the energy source which looks like a giant sparkling ice cube) and set out to take over earth. Mega action follows. All the action effects are spectacular. I love this kind of nonsense.
Mad magazine has done a spoof which I am taking home tonight to read. Should be as good as the movie.
