Joss Whedon is amazing!!

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2013)

All I should have to say about this movie (that I have seen at least 10 times) is "It's a Joss Whedon Film What more is there to say?" But I won't cause the anti- Buffy/angel/firefly/dollhouse fans will "yell and scream" So instead I will just do a regular review
This Joss Whedon film, "The Avengers" stars Robert Downey Jr. as Ironman, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk. I like that 2/3 are the same actors. Hawkeye is new to the group and Hulk Well, the Hulk has been played now by 3 different actors Bruce Banner went from tall and built to a little shorter and lankier to short and Hispanic looking Hmmm Well regardless of who Bruce Banner is played by, one thing stays the same You don't get the Hulk angry. As for the Black Widow at least when she appears in Iron Man 2, they kept the same actress. I will admit that I never have been a fan of Scarlett Johansson as an actress or as one to read about in the tabloids However, she kicks some major as in this movie and the chemistry that she has with our hott Jeremy Renner is very appealing. Yes, I know they don't actually have a sexual or physical anything on screen but their friendship shows promise There is a heat without it actually being sexual or physical. I like the way they care for each other. I must also add that I love that Samuel L. Jackson is the "ring leader". He is the same smartass that he usually plays.
This movie has a straight plot and lots of action. There is no time (that I noticed) that it goes off track like some movies do. I like that everyone plays their character correctly. Captain America is a straight talking guy. He gives direction without hesitation as a great leader should Especially for this group. Iron Man aka Tony Stark is his witty, sarcastic, smart self. I can honestly say that if Robert Downey Jr. were to discontinue the part of Iron Man I would NOT go and see any of the movies. Thor is his badass, thunder god self with the love of Earth and the love of his brother though as he says, "he's adopted". I like that everyone can shoot at each other with the sarcastic remarks.
If you have the chance to get the movie on DVD or Bluray, then do so. I got the 3 disc special edition that came with digital and music download. I got it cheaper online at Amazon than I would have in the stores (though this was before tax was added on the site). There are bloopers that are hysterical. The scene that they are all arguing Joss Whedon joins the scene saying "Stop arguing!". Cracks me up every time I see it or think of it.
Good job, Joss!!
