Big Audience, Small Impression

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2012)

The Avengers by Marvel received high ratings from several movie sources and although the film attracted audiences, it didn't leave the audience with an impression. If you want a simple, action-oriented flick with decent characters, laughs, good cinematography, and some small levels of character transformation, this is the movie for you. However, if you are looking for something that speaks to your soul, entertains, shocks, and leaves you with an unyielding catharsis, then forget about it. The Avengers was rated in three fields; cinematography, story structure (plot & theme), and characterization. Of these, it ranked highest in cinematography and store structure, although it ranked fairly evenly in all three – a balanced and organized film. However, it lack focus and import regarding the theme, and the plethora of characters makes it difficult for the audience to connect with their trials. Consequently, when Iron Man undergoes his ordeal, the audience feels disconnected and cannot experience the catharsis intended. Overall, it was a good film with good acting, organization, and appeal, but when it comes down greatness, it doesn't fit the bill.
