Review on "The Avengers"

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2012)

I went to see the movie on the third day of it's release after the whole internet was buzzing about it. Well, I submitting to the buzz! The movie isn't simply good- it's AWESOME! With the unpredictable plot, I could only guess that at the avengers will win in the end. The actors played their part realistically, and the special effects only added fuel to the scene. I absolutely love how characters that have had their own debut have been put together, to cooperate on something more epic then what they have brought as solo. The movie features characters from "Iron Man,""Thor,""The Hulk,""Black Widow,""Captain America: the first avenger,"and a Marvel comics character "Hawkeye." The Avengers are summoned up by a secret agency called "Shield," dealing with highly dangerous villains. The team is needed when a cube which contains unlimited power (entitled the Tesseract) is stollen from Shield's secret base. The one that stole the Tesseract is a particular Norse God of Mischief, featured in "Thor," names Loki. As it occurs, Loki has come to Earth, to take over and control the planet, and the Tesseract is needed to open a portal that would invite his army to the party. I have seen "Thor," and my impression on the movie wasn't as positive, I found it rather boring and unrealistic in terms of special effects and costumes. As well as back in "Thor," the characters seemed plain and bordering lacking of any kind of interest in them. Unlike in the "Avengers," Loki returns twice as evil, finally resembling the mischief that he is the god of. He seems to know exactly what he wants, and lives of 'pathetic mortals' as he calls humans, does not bother him. In fact, there are moments in the movie, where the actor demonstrates the character so perfectly that it is a sealed impression of him. The way Loki deviously smirks, looking savage and insane. Yet his speech proclaims him a ruler, as he yells at humans to kneel before him. Tom Hiddleston (the actor the played Loki) has perfectly presented his character.
Captain America (played by Chris Evans) stays fond of who he is proclaimed. He is a brave, fearless soldier, and his display of leadership is highlighted in battle scenes of the movie. Iron Man a.k.a Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) is the one that makes people laugh during the movie. A character full of sarcasm who doesn't play well in a group, and has a huge ego doesn't even try to be nice to whoever it is near him. The movie is definitely worth watching! P.S- Marvel has announced the sequel of The Avengers, scheduled to 2015!
