It’ll come as no surprise that our pick of the films released this week is Joss Whedon‘s mega blockbuster superhero epic The Avengers.

So does it live up to the hype? All I’ll say at this point is… go see this movie!

The Avengers opened yesterday, but the other films that opened today are: A Dangerous Method, Tezz, The Most Fun You Can Have Dying, The Way, and the New Zealand indie World War II drama Journey of a Story.

Here’s the trailer for The Avengers:
