A Spoiler-Free Review.
Science fiction requires a willing suspension of disbelief. If you cannot accept aliens with invisible energy shields invading the earth, the genre isn’t for you. You should be able to accept that an electrician could devise and build a microwave-emitting weapon to counter the aliens and their invisible energy shields.

Snap Judgement: The Avengers

The official, non-bootlegged, studio-authorized advanced trailer for the Avengers came out this week. In the grand tradition of Snap Judgement, here are my final and immutable observations on the film, which is set for release on May 4th, 2012.
#1 - Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man. The after-the-credits cut scene from Iron Man 2 had some fans worried that Downey - and Tony Stark - might be cut from the film or relegated to a background role.
