- DirectorJay OlivaStarsSean AstinZach CallisonChristopher GorhamThe world's finest heroes found the Justice League in order to stop an alien invasion of Earth.Not the best but it goes a long way. has nothing to do with the old TV show btw, it's a ''reboot'' with a horrible name, like those are doing great

JacksonScarlett JohanssonAs Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world, he teams up with a fellow Avenger and S.H.I.E.L.D agent, Black Widow, to battle a new threat from history: an assassin known as the Winter Soldier.maybe even better than the Avengers, it's smart, big and very cool.
