A mediocre film

Rating: 6/10 (19 April 2015)

Well having seen this film a couple of years ago I now realise I am late to review it, but better late than never. This film received a lot of huge attention pre-release and for good reason, you had many big superheroes in this film: Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America etc. You knew a lot of comic book nerds or action film favouring individuals would watch this. Well it's not that good, in fact it's (as I said in the title) MEDIOCRE. First of all we are seeing the same villain again who we previously saw in Thor, Loki, who inexplicably returns for another Marvel film. Seriously though, there are plenty of other villains and yet they go with the same one we've probably seen.
Anyway, the Avengers surprisingly (sarcasm) triumph over Loki by defeating him. This is very predictable, six superheroes against one villain, by those odds it's obvious who will win. I mean they barely struggled, in fact the struggle primarily came from within the team where they were fighting or having petty arguments with each other. At parts though, the film was funny, the action scenes were impressive and the characters had good chemistry/dialogue with each other. But, in my opinion there were no struggle with the heroes outmatching the enemy; it was all too easy and you knew they would eventually overcome them. They won very easily which is unsurprising with six heroes if truth be told. Anyway, the enemies were generic Alien robots that malfunctioned by one manoeuvre, they were so easily outfought by the avengers. There were an overabundance of explosions and shooting which left me feeling irritated. Overall a generic, action film. Generic enemies, fights, explosions; too predictable. I'm surprised how much money this film made and the ratings it got. This is a film where you can only watch it once and be overjoyed, a second time will be too boring and the third is unbearable to watch.
