“The Avengers”

It’s finally time. “The Avengers” — Tony Stark, Thor, the Hulk, Captain America, the Black Widow and Hawkeye — come together to stop Loki and his army from destroying the world.

The buzz: Let me be very clear with this: Every action-hero movie has been pretty great. But add all of our favorites together and put them on the big screen? I will be there waiting in line wearing my Captain America T-shirt like everyone else. One word to the wise, however. Check out the movie in 3-D. It’s more poignant and really packs a punch.
