definitely worth the watching.

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2012)

Marvel has been spending no less than five movies setting up this movie. I had my doubts, but I see the payoff. Since they've already established the main characters, there was no need to do so again. We could get right into the meat of the plot.
Loki pops in from another dimension and is plotting to open a doorway that will let in a nasty bunch of aliens. BUt what really works is the chemistry between the characters here. Nick Fury breaks out his rolodex and calls the Avengers. Well, except for Thor, he just kind of shows up.
What we get are some fairly effective character interaction scenes and a lot of CGI action goodness that didn't look too fake and was fairly exciting.
Morton Downey Jr. is the heart of this movie, and he gets all the best lines. Tim Middelton is effective as Loki matching wits with the various characters. The other actors are good enough in their roles. Again, a movie with no less than seven superheroes was more likely to be a mess and this wasn't, so I give them their props.
