Marvel Universe Live
by TRLo on 7/15/14Tampa Bay Times Forum - TampaRating: 4 out of 5Marvel Universe Live is a unique experience. I am 30-years old, and attended the show with my fiance. For perspective, both of us are huge nerds, who regularly attend conventions and even dress up in cosplay. The show itself is most definitely targeted to young children. The plot and dialogue are not complex, and even ventures into just plain silly at times; this show is a masterpiece of cheesy one-liners. But the production value will keep adults entertained as well. The stunts and fx were very fun to watch, and there was an undeniable magic in seeing all these comic characters together in one venue, the likes of which the recent movies cannot provide. All in all, this is a great show for parents who have comic-book and movie enthused kids, or who are looking for a great way to introduce their kids to the fantasies of their own childhoods for the first time. Also, any die hard Marvel comics fans out there will get a kick out of seeing this spectacle unfold; it's very much like watching a live-action Saturday morning cartoon. If you're only a casual fan of the comic book based films that have come out in recent years, this show probably isn't for you.
