Brilliant But Still A Little Overrated!!

Rating: 8/10 (22 August 2012)

First of all i would like to say that the avengers is marvel's best film to date and there are quite a few positives in the film.
The direction and screenplay is nothing short of brilliant. Joss Whedon deserves a lot of credit. The film could have gone awfully wrong with so much heroes in one film but the director has successfully tightened up all loose ends. For a film in which so much characters are sharing one screen space you would expect a lot of things to go wrong but not in this one.
The acting was nothing short of brilliant. All the characters were completely faithful to their roles but the standout was Mark Ruffalo as the hulk. He was nothing short of amazing. I won't be surprised if marvel makes a stand alone hulk film with him.
The special effects were outstanding. I have never seen anything like it in any film before.
Now to the negatives about the film. One of them is the soundtrack that doesn't quite live upto expectations.
The other is the dialogue. As far as i can think there were no memorable dialogues at all. All were pretty mediocre.
The main negative thing about the film was the lack of emotional depth which was in abundance in spiderman 2 and nolan's batman trilogy.
Overall i would say it is a brilliant film but a little overrated. I don't think it should be more than 8 on IMDb. 8.6 is too much and very close to TDK and TDKR which were pure masterpieces. However it is marvel's best film upto date and certainly raises the bar for marvel at the movies.
