The sum of all parts= The Avengers rock!

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2012)

Luck was on our side to all Marvel's Universe fans in Mexico since The Avengers premiered this Friday 04/27 just one week previous to the US release. Yes, the movie is great, Yes the acting is really good, Double yes on special effects, especially the ones related to the great battle in the city. Now what would I personally did not grant a perfect review of this most anticipated reunion of this eclectic group of superheroes?
Because I do personally believe it took the movie too long to separate the individual characters into the actual group. Of course this is a personal opinion and even it might be possible this is exactly how the screenplay was actually written, but nevertheless... If the Hunger Games has any potential contender of putting a fight on this still baby-year in movies, The Avengers is the one movie that has what it takes to give a good one.
What can you expect from this movie... Tons of action? Of course Some light background on each of the main players? Sure thing Humor? Not as much as you could have and certainly, the biggest laugh in the theater came from a scene of the least expected character... trust me on this one!
So all in all, this is a GREAT movie to watch... the 2+ hours just fly by and I exited the theater satisfied with Director Joss Whedon job. I almost agreed with another review stating that all main characters did have at least one big scene during the film, yet part of the missing point of my rating is that, in my mind, Iron Man/Tony Stark appearance during the film was somehow larger than the rest of the characters.
I am not a connoisseur of the actual comic, but it would dare to guess that the majority of the hard core fans of this history will be pleased.
Of course this is not Oscar material, but hey, this type of movies (Harry Potter, Batman, Superman, etc) is the reason we go to the movies... to escape reality for some time and and root for the good guys.
And these assembly of actors portraying these superheroes did a wonderful job.
Oh... and maybe last, but definitely not least, Samuel L Jackson on his role of Director Nick Fury is great and you can definitely tell there are more than a couple of SLJ's personal touches on his performance that become the cherry on this exquisite and enjoyable cake known as The Avengers.
