The Avengers (2012)

Perfect!!! Everything I wanted in a superhero film. Having all these characters who've been built up over the past five movies finally come together was amazing. Joss Weddon did it, and did it well! All actors playing th amin avengers were superb and Loki us currently, and I'm pretty sure will remain for a while, one of the best villains in any one of these movies. The best part was how different it was from any other Marvel movie. There were funny quips and retorts between a couple of the characters that added the comedic touch perfectly, Coulson's death was sad, but it was the motivation needed for the team. Then the battle of Manhattan was fought and let me just say it was awesome. Overall marvelously inpressed!!!

The Avengers really is all it cracked up to me. When a movie is hyped up as much as this, it's scary to see whether or not it lives up to expectations. And let me tell you, it certainly does. It never feels boring or dragged out and actually goes by quite quickly for being almost 2 and a half hours. It's well-written, well-acted, and exciting. Rating : 9/10

The only threat of the villains is Loki, who could be handled easily by Banner or Thor single-handedly. Barton and Banner were mind-controlled by Loki, but that was just temporary. Loki just started a war that he would never win. The storytelling is highly unbalanced. The visual effects and action sequences of the last fourty minutes were sensational and thrilling, yet the long part before it was boring and useless. Some action scenes lack credibility and look fake, as nobody gets injured or bleeds, and the editing of the film is not convincing. The name "Avengers" is misleading, since these superheroes are not avenging and are just saving the world. Particularly, the war criminal Loki was not sentenced to death. "Savers" might be a better name for the team.Overall, this film does not live up to its hype.

To keep this short, I love this movie. All of the characters are amazing and the actors playing these characters are also doing an amazing job of really capturing the way these characters should be portrayed. I think that Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man was a great casting choice as he is able to show the loving and caring side of Tony Stark and also the cocky, arrogant and snarky side of him. Chris Hemsworth as Thor was also amazing. Some of the lines that he had with the other Avengers were amazing and Hemsworth is good at making it seem as though Thor has no idea why humans do what they do. Chris Evans as Steve Rodgers was somewhat a save for the actors Marvel career, as the last time he appeared in a Marvel movie he played The Human Torch in the very disappointing Fantastic Four movies. He also does very good at acting as though he's from the 1940's. All of the other performances were outstanding but the one that stands out is Tom Hiddleston as Loki. He was a compelling villain, intimidating and funny at times. Overall, I think the movie is all around amazing and is definitely my favourite MCU movie so far.
