Nice, but not THAT good.

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2016)

This was a long anticipated movie that teams up multiple superheroes for the first time and confirms MCU completely. The last five MCU movies have all be leading up to this. And it's here now. So, is it good?
I like it that they tried making a comic book cinematic universe and teaming up all those superheroes. In fact, I love that idea. And it got very good ratings and I liked the movie. It was fun, it was well done, the dialogues were well written and it was so cool to see all these heroes working together. And also, Alan Silvestri's score is very good and it's one of the best superhero movie themes I've ever heard. But the story, the similar problem I had before, just wasn't big or epic enough. It felt like a special longer TV episode with huge budget. The plot was just too simple for such an epic idea and most of the main plot happens in one day. It's not messy at all but that's because of the thin plot. And even when there are in danger there are still humorous parts, so when there are some emotional moments, they don't really fit in. There is a death of a side character somewhere in the middle and everyone is so sad about it, but I could barely remember his name, so it did nothing for me. But it's not about the actors. The acting is great and everyone shines in their roles, but I still liked Tom Hiddleston as Loki the most. Also there is a recast of one character, Hulk. He's played by Mark Ruffalo and I think he's also pretty good in his own way. Ruffalo is closer to the comics, but Norton's grounded approach was very good and it shows us how badly affected he is with his "gift". And one more flaw, enemies were to easily defeated in my opinion. Aside from Loki's plan and all the fights between them in the first half, The Avengers never really faced anything that was a really big threat and they got out of every danger too easily.
Very fun, very well done movie and the first superhero team up movie and that's way it gets so much points from me, but I was just slightly disappointed because of the lack of challenge to the heroes and the weak plot.
