Avengers good but not as much as the hype

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2012)

I just watched Avengers, 2 hours ago, and I personally don't think Avengers lives up to the hype it has got. Is it a good movie? That's a definite yes from my side, anyone who's into action movies and who knows these characters would enjoy the movie. But for people who don't really know much about these characters would get a little bored and might find it hard to follow, as it happened with my friends. 10 of us went for the movie, 3 people though it was hard to follow. Also one should know they are going for an action movie, action sequences are awesome, dialogues are OK not exceptional but OK. They have tried to make the movie funny, but there are only like 3 laughs out loud moments, with 2 other that makes you smile. Interestingly enough Hulk was in 3 out of 5 of those moments. Iron Man is funny, but now wow funny. Thor looked very ordinary in the movie, his acting was OK not wow. Captain America looks a little misplaced among the super powered people, and sadly Black Widow has a lot more say in the movie than does Captain America. Hawkeye got his moment to shine but isn't as focused as one who expect. Hulk and Loki, their acting stood out. Of course, Loki being the main villain gets the most to do and Hulk was the funniest among them all, after he transforms. MINOR SPOILERS, it's nice to see hulk finally learn how to control his transformation although how he learns it is never shown. There are few plot holes in the movie, we don't really understand how Hulk from being a raging uncontrollable monster because a hero all of a sudden and decides to fight for the avengers. Nick Fury doesn't get to do much apart from blow up a helicopter, Captain America has some fights scenes before Loki brings his army but later Captain America didn't really play a big part in the movie at all. Aliens were below par, they didn't even spend time with the aliens, and they looked more like mindless beasts following command from their master, who is shown post credit and will not be named for the purpose of this review. There are no twists and turns in the movie, the story could easily have been summarized in few lines as Loki - World Domination - Army - Avengers Assembles - gets his arse handed to him. Action scenes were AWESOME and it's a very action heavy movie. I hope I have not spoiled anything for you because I don't really wanna get into details of how the movie actually plays. What I truly believe is you will not be bored watching the movie, but it's not something as amazing as say The Dark Knight.
