Movie: Marvel’s The Avengers
Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson
Directed By: Joss Whedon
Taking place right after the events chronicled in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers brings together all of these remarkable individuals, pitting them against a force that no single hero can withstand! When the fallen Asgardian god known as Loki comes to Earth and threatens it with invasion from an alien race, S.H.I.E.L.D director Nick Fury must find a way to stop him and his diabolical plans. To that end, he enacts the Avengers Initiative: a plan to gather the greatest and most powerful heroes the world has ever known. Calling together Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, the team assembles to fight and protect the earth… or avenge it by any means necessary.
Directed by Joss Whedon, The Avengers is more than just your dream comic book movie come true. It practically has all the elements that make it a clear work of art spilling off the source material it’s based on, and it’s not afraid to push the envelope in terms of action and story. No fan will disapprove of everything going for this movie. It has epic written all over it, and it unifies storylines and threads that were told in previous films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe into one. Whedon cleverly weaves everything together and delivers on his promises, and much of the fun and payoff comes off the final act of the film, where the team stands banded together to fight the immediate alien threat in the heart of New York City. You’ve seen it in trailers and it’s not much of a spoiler. However, the experience is enhanced by the chemistry and crafty dialogue delivered by the oh so awesome cast, who have not faltered in portraying their roles significantly.
Rating – 5/5
