Marvel Studios has finally brought the whole team together

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2012)

Marvel Studios has finally brought the whole team together, after years of hinting at the Avengers initiative coming to fruition to fight united against evil, they have done it.
The Avengers was not only a reunion of Marvel's best loved superheroes, but it is a fun and funny, action-packed blockbuster movie to kick off the Summer movie season as it opened to an astounding $207.4 million, the single biggest grossing domestic film opening weekend of all time. It topped Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 by more than $38 million, the previous record holder.
Why has this film done so well? Everyone loves it! The critics love it (93% Rotten Tomatoes rating) and Marvel fans love it and the average moviegoer has loved it.
The film is almost completely devoid of romance and sex which hurts some of the draw of female audiences, but its non-stop action, fast-paced storyline and awesome special effects keeps viewers engaged. The odd joke thrown in here and there is a brilliant touch that does irritate, but instead adds to the experience.
