a better name would be Average Assemble

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2012)

This film is one of the most distinctly average film I have seen in a number of years. The action and comedy, good as it was, was there to simply gloss over a basic strong line. Normally I like my simple action films, but Avengers just lacked a little something.
*spoilers*
What I Liked. - The comedy throughout the film was pretty good, myself and the audience laughed throughout. - The opening, might have gone on a little too long, but it did well to set up the film. - Action sequences, apart from the end which I will go into further details next.
What I Didn't Like - Story should have been better, a bit more depth was needed in the whole story and characters. Bruce Banner (Hulk) was reluctant to join the mission, but there was nothing that really showed it effecting him - Last action sequence lacked magic, I never felt myself really caring about the Avengers or what happened. Also the end when Iron Man was hurt, all Hulk had to do was make him jump. I felt Thor shocking him again would have been better.
It is a decent film for a Sunday evening, but as an actual spectacle it was a small let down.
