The Avengers: 8.7/10
Yeah, it was pretty awesome...and quite funny too - though at times the humor felt a little forced. Still, it's pretty hard to screw up an Avengers movie, and seeing them all together after watching their individual movies was great fun. Looking forward to the sequel already.
Melancholia: 8/10
OK, this movie was a bit different. Well, unless you're used to Lars von Trier films - then it's pretty much what you'd expect, plus some extra sci-fi & surrealism. I loved the visuals in the latter half of the film - there's just something cool about another planet hanging in the sky right above Earth. I'll admit that at times I was wondering when something interesting was going to happen, but I have a soft spot for films that are A) Exceptionally unique - even if it (sometimes) means being strange and B) Take place all in one setting. When a unique film like this becomes overly praised it can become annoying, though - and Melancholia nearly falls into that category. Just because something is interesting and different, doesn't mean it's genius. Irregardless* (without lack of regard), this movie may speak to you if you're feeling down, and the fantastic visuals and vibrant colors are pleasant for the eyeballs.
*May not actually be a word.
