I have seen all three and to be honest Avengers and Hungry Games where my favorite. They where both really good in their own way. Brave on the other hand, it was good, but it was rather weird. Well I think it was. The plot was fine, just how the plot was shown. That isn't to say it wasn't creative. Sometimes I think Disney should start writing novels, as I think Brave would have been better as a Novel then a movie.
I love all the action in Avengers, I mean how doesn't? Out of them all Caption America and Iron Man are my favorite heros. So much drama in the movie. It was awesome. I love how they co mixed off of the characters. And Stan Lee. Oh gosh he is always awesome. Where and how they work him into the movie always seems to crack me up.
As for Hungry Games, I want to read the books now. Anyone who knows me, knows I hate reading books, but I am just so curious as to what goes in in the novels. My sister said that the books where better then the movie. So yea I am curious. Do you guys that have read the books think so?

Well I will check and see if I can find them at K-mart or even see if my grandpa has them. He has read so many books he has donated like half the stock the locate liberty has. Which is funny because they charged him 15 dollars saying he had an over due book, when it was in one of the boxes he donated. XD They took that bill back though so it was all good.

I absolutely adored The Avengers, as well as Brave. I haven't seen Hunger Games nor have I read the books. I actually refuse to read the books since I haven't read them yet. I've never actually been able to WATCH a movie based on a book that I haven't read yet, so I won't know what's coming next, and I won't know how they messed up with the book. I get to just watch the movie. Brave hit home, since I'm close to that culture. It's incredibly neat and part of my heritage, and I absolutely adored it, hands down. I liked how the Avengers had a good balance of power. You've got Thor and Iron Man who are incredibly powerful and could probably defeat the other members, but they played up different aspects of them. Thor was strength and will, while Iron man played, well, Iron man. You've got Hulk, and he got a good balance of power there too. Now Hawkeye and Black Widow aren't as powerful as the others, but Black Widow got to play her espionage side, while Hawkeye was featured on both sides of the war, and got some pretty good shots and one liners 'Clench up, Legoas' for example. The movie was priceless and I adore it. Although, Loki is getting everything he wants. He WANTED the Avengers to win. He WANTS to go back to Asgard. Why? He wants to rule there. Anybody catch a glimpse of what was in Odin's vault in the movie? Infinity Gauntlet. Anybody see the end after the credits? Thanos. Also known for the Infinity Gauntlet. This is a diff. conversation though, if anybody wants to talk to me about what I think is gonna happen, PM me.
I loved Brave.

I've seen all three, and I must say, all of them were superb movies. The Hunger Games was a really good adaptation of the book, although, in my opinion, they did lose a bit of the core focus on the Games itself. For having to fit so much plot and details in under 2 hours, the directors did a pretty good job.
But not as good as the Avengers.
Holy god, the Avengers was AWESOME.
I have to gush now. Joss Whedon, the director of this movie, is my most favorite director of all time. The things he does with TV shows and movies... It pleases me greatly.
But the fact that he managed to so easily weave together the stories of all these superheroes without putting too much emphasis on one or the other is what really blew me away. I went into the movie thinking that it might suck, but walked out fangirling over EVERYTHING. There was enough tension between all the characters to make their teamwork seem believable, instead of just one of those "LOL WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER GUISE" moments.
It also helps that I have a crazy love for insane villains, and Loki was played SO DAMN WELL. Tom Hiddleston is one of my new favorite actors.
Tumblr has ruined my life, by the way.
And Brave. Gosh, I loved Brave. There are very few Pixar movies that I hate, and this one proved why again. The story itself was simple, and I agree, Wolff, that it might have been a good book, but there were some elements that would have been difficult to visualize through just writing. Not to say that it can't be done, but I honestly prefer it as a movie.
What I really liked about this movie was the fact that they didn't force a love interest down our throats. Part of what made Merida herself was her sovereignty, and a love interest would have screwed that all over. I do believe that this was a major point of the movie, and that's what made it for me. It is possible for a movie to have a female lead who is strong and doesn't need a knight in shining armor to sweep her off her feet.
Plus, the animation was just gorgeous. Her hair, man. HER HAIR. They had a team of animators who worked SOLELY ON HER HAIR.
And Tygerrrrrrr~ WE NEED TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT AVENGERS WHY AREN'T WE HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT AVENGERS RIGHT NOW ARKGHALSDKFJ
