Including appearances by superheroes like The Human Torch, Captain America, and Namor, the Submerineer and a fun performance by Stan Lee.

What the press would say:

Marvel!!! an incredible masterpiece, with an awesome esemble cast that complements one another and the incredible direction of Bryan Singer make this amazing story worthy to be told. Showing superheroes in such a human way without giving so much space to the actions scenes like the other comic based movies. (but that doesn't mean this movie doesn't have incredible action sequences like the battle between the Human Torch and the Submariner in New York City with an amazing wave of water approaching to the big apple) Definitely a masterpiece that should stay in our memories for the rest of our lives.
