It really Impressed Me.

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2012)

If you had asked me a few months ago if I was exited for the Avengers, I would have said, "A little bit." But then the trailer made my jaw drop when I saw the giant snake decepticon from Transformers 3 crash through that building while chasing Iron Man. So I joined the many who got hyped for this film, in fact like many others I had an Avengers marathon leading up to it. And I can say that this is the best Avenger's movie we've gotten so far. It has everything I liked from the other five, while taking out some of the stuff I didn't.
Let's just get a few problems I had out of the way. Like the other five, there are points where it does feel slow and gets a little boring, but they are few and far in between. At times it focused too much on one member and not enough on the others. Some of the effects were clearly CGI, and it might be a little too long. I know it's only about an hour and eleven minutes, but it did feel a little longer.
Other than that, I really enjoyed this movie. The action scenes are great, especially the final battle. So much stuff gets destroyed. There was one shot that reminded me of that action scene in TinTin. Where they have one continuous shot go to all the members of the Avengers fighting. It doesn't last as long, but it was still cool. Most of the time the special effects were good. And I really liked the characters. Iron Man was hilarious, which is the way I think he should be, Robert Downey Jr. is great. Thor was a little more serious this time, and it actually worked, I don't know how, but it did. Black Widow was hot, Hawkeye was cool, and I actually really liked The Hulk, he had the absolute funniest scene in the movie. The acting all around is good, and I actually thought Loki was a great villain. In Thor he was OK, but I always knew Thor could beat him. In this, he actually gets pretty far, and it made me wonder how the Avengers would defeat him. And that is a big strength for this movie, there's actually quite a bit of suspense.
I didn't think I would say this, but the Avengers is my favorite movie of the year so far. There are a few flaws, but overall I was very impressed with this movie. See it.
