A multilayered saga

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2019)

This Avengers is more layered which makes it feel longer and may cause the restless to loose interest but the transitions are well placed, paced and contain some poignant moments, deepening the story. The cast just gets more star studded, all bringing great performances. Joss Whedon is just the best at crafting his stories and because he is such a fanboy of his subject we get lots nice little touches, like the machine (Ultron) that needs an audience (first the Twins and later the Black Widow) and the twist on who is worthy to weld Mjolnir (Thor's Hammer). The stop action montages are beautifully crafted (I wanted to say they are 'rad', but I didn't want to be accused of age appropriation). There is a wonderful balance of big grand moments and nice little personal moments and still the trademark wit that sets the tone. Although my least favourite of the Avengers combo packs, upon rewatching it still comes close to the bar. I give this film a 9 (superb) out of 10 {Superheroes Action Adventure}
