Awesome. As in awe-inspiring.

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2015)

I never would have thought this film would have been that good. Before seeing this film, I couldn't have given a flying monkey about superheroes (except for Spider- Man and Iron Man), but when I saw it, a new world opened up.
I caught up with the rest of the MCU and I went to see the even more impressive sequel on its first day of release, April 22. The action at the end was awesome, even though I don't think it was the highlight, especially since the Chitauri were quite incompetent. I was genuinely frightened for Black Widow when the Hulk was chasing her, and whilst the Avengers were arguing in the helicarrier I wanted to shout at the screen and yell: "Get away from the Bruce Banner!"
Visually, it was stunning, Phil Coulson's death was tragic, and Tony Stark's one liners were great. "Ah, finally! Someone who speaks English." "Wait wasn't his first name Agent?"
Nick Fury was great. You can see he doesn't trust the Avengers, especially Tony Stark. Black Widow felt a little too human.....but she fantastically outsmarts Loki. Tony Stark was......his usual and the ending clearly shocked him. The Hulk was also great: Bruce Banner embraces and fears the Hulk. Hawkeye....was really cool but we see so little of him. Captain America felt....weak because that's what he is next to some of the other Avengers, but he is the honest man trying to do what's best. He nailed the role so much that when I saw Chris Evan's as the idiotic Human Torch, I couldn't believe it was the same person. Loki was a really evil and likable villain, only that he stops feeling like a threat once he leaves the helicarrier.
