In a post 'Infinity War' world, this film looks kind of small. But it still holds up.

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2018)

The idea of sequel to what were essentially four different series, and bringing four major comic-book characters to the screen in the same film shouldn't have worked.
But it does.
'Avengers Assemble' isn't just a good film, but a great one that actually surpasses all MCU films that came before it. All of the characters are well-developed and share equal importance to the action-packed story. It's this key focus on character that really sets the film apart. The story itself is pretty generic, but it's the way in which the characters interact throughout the film that give it a personality. All of the cast are great, the score by Alan Silvestri is epic, and the script is full of witty dialogue that elevates the entertaining action sequences. The film isn't perfect, however, due to the 'over-theatrical' (but well performed) villain, the dissonance between the audience and the army of CGI aliens, and the rushed conclusion. 8/10
