Joss Whedon is a genius

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2015)

Assembling 6 avengers, plus Nick Fury, was a tough feat in the first one. How Joss manages to outdo himself by adding everybody.. And I mean EVERYBODY even if they only had a short screen time.. Into a 2.5hrs movie is beyond me.
People take for granted good scripts. Having more than 5 strong characters to talk or have a funny banter is just plain crazy. Add action, explosions, backstories, humor, wit, in a coherent and cohesive way without letting the audience lose the train of thought is simply an amazing feat.
The dialogues are amazingly clever. By clever I mean they dumb it down enough for non comic readers to pick up where things were and St the same time assumes the audience are intelligent enough to 'get it'. The conversation between Banner and Romanoff was deep and the build up was all between the lines. Everything is implied and never in your face (except after you already got it).
The film runs slightly on the long side, but I can't think of how it could be shorter. Everything builds up just enough for the finale. And the last 30minutes after the creation of Vision made it all worth it.
If you haven't seen it you should, because this is the biggest most marvellous mega jumbo huge blockbuster of the year. Just look at the destruction! I have no idea how they are going to top this.

The humor! Oh! Iron man saying that high pitched sorry was hilarious!
The deaths (including Romanoff lost chances) made me scream "Nooooooooooooo!" inside. Each had their own build up very well written and shown so that we care a lot when they died.
Anyone else sad when Jarvis, the computer programme, died? Noooooo
And Vision. Well what a vision! I need to rewatch this.
