"Grab the popcorn and get ready for the Superhero Superbowl! 'The Avengers' is officially awesome. Here's a bit of David Walters' review:   Want to give a comic book nerd a headache? Ask him which superhero from Marvel Studios' star-glutted mega-franchise ""The Avengers"" is the super-est. Iron Man? Thor? Hawkeye, for making a bow and arrow seem like an appropriate weapon for fending off alien attacks? All good guesses, but all wrong. The title goes to white-hot writer/director Joss Whedon (""The Cabin in the Woods""), who took the gaudiest, most daunting directive in recent cinematic history — lash six tent-pole franchises together to make one epic crossover film that won't disappoint the most frenzied and critical fans on the planet or annoy the rest of us — and produced a sure-fire blockbuster that is easily greater than the sum of its parts. (And all for an economical $220 million!)"
