Umm...people, movies are not rated solely on action, CGI and funny dialogue.

Rating: 5/10 (7 May 2012)

If movies were given great ratings based only on action packed sequences, state of the art CGI and humoristic lines, then The Avengers would surely be one of the best movies ever made. However, a great movie is instead judged by it's coherent story, character development, good acting and the parallel between the movie and our real world situation. These are just to name a few and The Avengers clearly lacks all of these.
Even though the opening sequence was well done and was promising for the rest of the movie, I found myself anxiously sitting in my chair waiting for the end of the film. The repetitive action sequences and the predictable turn of events really made this movie a 2 ½ hour snooze-fest.
Why this movie has a 8.8 rating as of May 7th is really beyond me. This movie deserves at most a 7/10 but only if you feel generous. Without getting into to much details, The Avengers' structure, plot and setting is very similar to Transformers: the Dark of the Moon but instead of having the Autobots you have Marvel superheroes and instead of having Megatron and company you have Loki and his crew. Everyone hated that movie, it currently has a 6.3 rating, so why the heck is The Avengers so well rated?! It's sad to see that such brainless movies are making a ton of cash and are in the interest of nowaday moviegoers and big movie companies. Hopefully come end of July, Christopher Nolan will enlighten moviegoers with his soon to be epic/legendary masterpiece The Dark Knight Rises.
Avengers disassemble, and let the Fire Rise!
