The Avengers proves to be everything the nerd and mainstream audiences wanted, and maybe became a little bit more.

This is is it. This is the movie fanboys have been hyping ever since we got a glimpse at Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man. The Avenger's is Marvel's very ambitious attempt to bring their A-listers(at least the ones they possess the rights to) all into one movie where they team up to fight evil. To accomplish this momentous task, Marvel brought in Joss Whedon(Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Serenity) to both co-write and direct this film of sky high expectations. Whedon, whom has proved himself to be excellent with ensemble casts, has not directed a theatrical film since 2005′s Serinity which may have left fans scratching their heads when he was announced. On top of the wildcard director, the film also has to bring in all of the stars from the past Marvel Cinematic Universe films into one movie without taking away from the other casts members. As cool as the epic team-up sounds on paper, is it really possible to bring all of these elements into one movie together under one vision?
