FX Guy Thinks The Avengers Is The BEST Marvel Movie

Chris Wells, a supervisor working for the Hydraulx Visual Effects company tells Starburst Magazine that he thinks Marvel's The Avengers is the best comic book film that he's worked on to date - and he's worked on practically all of the Marvel efforts released thus far.


Wells has seen a rough cut of the film and his company is working on the prologue - "I went to a screening with all the temporary visual effects and it was pretty fleshed out. It's a long movie but it doesn't feel like it. Out of all the comic book movies and franchises I've worked on, this is the best one I've seen so far."


He adds that "This thing has gone so big that Marvel are dwarfing their other franchises. For people who enjoy the comics and haven't really liked the way some of the characters were treated in other movies, I think they're going to be a little more appeased by this one. Especially the Hulk. They let the Hulk be Hulk and that's great. He acts more like the comic book Hulk".

He says "I think he [director Joss Whedon] did a very good job of setting up the characters based on what we know from the Marvel franchise, integrating them together with all their differences and similarities and then getting on with business. And just when you think the movie is a character piece it just goes nuts."

Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans Chris Hemsworth Scarlett Johansson Samuel L. Jackson Jeremy Renner Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Stellan Skarsgård, and Amanda Righetti and Paul Bettany star in the May 4, 2012 release.
