Review: Marvel's The Avengers (2012)


The most hyped movie of the 2012 kicks off the summer with a very loud ‘Bang!’  Director Joss Weldon assemble an extreme cast with even extreme(er) powers and abilities.  As usual, Marvel really steals our minds and makes us believe that a god joins forces with a man in an iron super-suit along with a sleeping captain from World War Two.  If you spend the two-and-a-half hours judging on how ridiculous the plot is, you will have a horrible time.  However, if you let the eight year-old inside you come out, you are going to have a blast.  That is what “The Avengers” does; it brings the kid out from inside you.  The slapstick script helps make this movie memorable, while the action gives it a sense of identity in a world of silly high budget flicks like “Battleship” and “Wrath of the Titans.”  But let’s be honest, the one who stole the show was clearly Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.  His script and dialogue is sharp, pinpoint, and downright hilarious.  He is only person that can ever be Iron Man in my opinion.  But you also have to consider the other actors such as Chris Evans and Liam Hemsworth who play Captain America and Thor.  Put the Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye and you have pure entertainment.  And if you want the Avengers to keep on going, no surprise, Captain America 2, Thor 2, Iron Man 3, and Avengers 2 will be coming in the latter years.  Enjoy this movie at the theaters, but not in 3-D (it was converted after the shoot during post-production).   Please, you like this review please come back as more reviews are yet to come!
Bottom Line: One of the best superhero movies ever made, but hype and excitement push the film to unnecessary high reviews.  Go watch it; this is pure cinema.
