Spectacle of the year so far !

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2012)

The Avengers is a film like no other.Never have so many super heroes appeared on screen together.Often it is the case where a film suffers because of a huge star cast.But director Joss Whedeon has definitely done his homework and given each super hero a decent amount of screen time and build up ! The action scenes are flawlessly executed and are easy on the eyes unlike some recent action flicks these days.There are a few scenes in the movie that are insanely funny mostly involving Tony Stark and The Hulk.The story is nothing new,but the fact that it is carried out in such a linear and smooth fashion , makes it an amazing watch.Loki aka Thor's brother returns as the villain and does a good job at being bad.Nick Fury is decent.Scarlett Johansson looks sexy in Black playing the character of The Black Widow,only this time she has more screen time than what she got in Iron Man 2.Jeremy Renner is impressive as Hawkeye after his last hit MI : Ghost Protocol.
In conclusion I think Avengers is the best action movie this year so far with mind blowing special effects and enough scenes to make you get out of you seat and applaud or maybe blow a whistle or two.It would be interesting to see if GI Joe Retaliation matches up to this when it releases in late June.
