Robert Downey Jr Steals The Show

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2014)

The Avengers Assemble is almost perfect entertainment.
Plot In A Paragraph: Some of Earth's mightiest heroes must come together and learn to fight as a team if they are to stop the mischievous Loki (brother of Thor) and his alien army from enslaving humanity.
Whilst there is a real lack of tension as you know, none of the main heroes will actually die, it's still an entertaining movie that hits almost all of the spots.
Of the cast, Chris Evans is solid as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth does a great job as Thor, stepping into Ed Norton's shoes, Mark Ruffalo is a brilliant addition to the cast as Bruce Banner, Scarlett Johansson looks great and holds her own against the big boys too, Tom Hiddleston is a lot of fun as Loki and Clark Gregg is worthy of note as Agent Coulson, Samuel L. Jackson brings what Samuel L. Jackson brings as Nick fury and Jeremy Renner is fine as Hawkeye. But it is Robert Downey Jr who steals the show as Tony Stark/Iron Man.
I look forward to the second movie.
