How can such a huge and dynamic film be so easily forgettable?

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2012)

"Marvel's The Avengers" deserves full credit for it's dynamic execution in bringing the Marvel cast together, as it was a very well-structured and firmly put-together blockbuster by the exciting character-driven filmmaker, Joss Whedon. The clash and the interactions of each Marvel hero, and the development of this was exuberant, witty, and simply hilarious. As the film progressed into the action tone and the all-out, explosive warfare in New York City, the teamwork and building chemistry couldn't be anymore dynamic, and yet still humorous from Whedon's continuous comic relief of the combination of these contrasting superheroes. Although, after all this popcorn fun, simple but vital flaws remain.
The score of this massively anticipated Marvel feature should've had a magical and intense sound similar to "The Lord of the Rings" or Christopher Nolan's Batman films. Instead the score failed to connect, as it lacked in "pure epicness" and beauty, and ultimately the film lost connection with one of the most important aspects in a film.
Not only did the sound and score of the film not work, but the very simple story was exposed from the lack of depth in the telling of the story. This ultimately made the film feel smaller and weaker than it should be. With these small, yet very important, aspects of the film, frustratingly, not executed well, instead of "Marvel's The Avengers" ending on a high-note, it ends having zero connection with the story and characters, except Mark Ruffalo's brilliant interpretation of The Hulk, because the lack of connection from the score and the lack of depth in the storytelling ultimately wore on everything else that appeared on screen. What lack of connection in a film leads to is a forgettable movie because if a film doesn't connect and stick with someone, how can that film possibly be remembered. But it's "Marvel's The Avengers," how can that be forgotten? Very easily. The concept won't be forgotten, nor will Joss Whedon's incredible character-portrayal of each superhero be forgotten, but it will be the anticipation and the potential brilliance in the other huge motion pictures in 2012 such as "The Dark Knight Rises," and "The Hobbit" which will make "The Avenger's" be that film where everyone thinks, "what was that movie that came out earlier this year, it was a huge movie...oh yeah, The Avengers how could I possibly forget that." It's not because the film wasn't good, it was an awesome and intense blockbuster to watch, but it was the little things that left the film slightly over par.
Simplifying it down, "Marvel's The Avenger's" was a fun film and one for everyone to see and really deserves high praise for it's execution of it's characters. Although, as glorious as it looked, it unfortunately did not sound nearly as good as I wanted it too. Yet, the film is still easily likable to any viewer because there is so much to like about in the excitement of this film.
