A excellent action Movie, with all we expected from the Superheroes in it

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2012)

"The Avengers" (2012) is the newest film from Marvel Studios / Disney Studios with the classic superheroes, directed by Joss Whedon (from TV series "Buffy The Vampire Slayer") and starring multiple characters from other movies, together, for the first time: Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark/Iron Man), Chris Evans (Steve Rogers/Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner/The Hulk), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow), Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton/Hawkeye), Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury).
The film follows the ending hook given after the credits of "Thor" in 2011 (just a note, there is also one in this movie, but before the credits, for a sequence of Avengers), with the cube Tesseract of "Captain America" ​​(2011) being in the hands of SHIELD that analyzes it, and Loki ("Thor") being the main villain who seeks it, and that is brought to Earth by its activation, so that with the help of a mysterious ally and his inter-dimensional army he cans conquer and actually dominate the Earth as a ruler.
Due to these growing threats in the story, SHIELD active the plan from a team of superheroes, The Avengers, with the heroes mentioned above to help prevent the plans of Loki.
Visually the film is one of Marvel's most well made, with action scenes to the level of Iron Man, but more intense: the downsides of characters of other films, that were not as successful as "Thor" and "Hulk" were corrected here, and the characters have greater expression.
Of course, in terms of special effects there is nothing wrong - the scenes are very intense and uses it very well, and are impressive in some parts, as well as the fight sequences between the characters.
Musically I am without criticism, as all the movies from Marvel the orchestrated soundtrack fits perfectly with the action - the same can be said of the sound effects used in the film.
The performances are excellent, each character is significant in themselves in the story, and their different personalities are displayed perfectly, even in characters without much impact on earlier movies.
The differences in personalities secured a good laugh as well as some comic lines and scenes. Thus, the entire cast came to life - even Loki, in the role of the "eternal loser".
And tell by the way, I thought that no character has been erased by the presence of another, despite the stronger personality in the movie, of Tony Stark to be the most striking.
The story itself is not worthy of an Oscar for best screenplay, but this is not the intention of the film - but the fun is, remember that this is the basic reason to watch movies, and at this point it beat my expectations, being almost as good as "X-Men: First Class."
One of the constant criticism that I have seen is about the main villain Loki, said to be too weak for the role: I think he fits the role allocated to him, as is evident through the story itself, the comic lines and the bonus credits hook - I think a greater villain is reserved for the sequel.
In short: it is a great action movie, with a solid script for the style, with excellent performances and visual effects - and it is what you want when you go to watch something in Cinemas, looking for fun pure and simple.
It serves as a reminder because every year we expect so much to see the upcoming movie from Marvel / DC Comics ... My score: 9.0 / 10.0.
