"Superheros in New York? Give me a break!"

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2020)

Marvel started the MCU with it's first movie Iron Man back in 2008 but up until that point Marvel wasn't really on the radar for good comic book movies failing with every movie they put out in the early and mid 2000s from Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, The Punisher, Daredevil, Electra the list goes on but that all changed with Iron Man and the creation of the MCU idea a series of movies that would build a roster of Superheros and Hero's from the ground up giving the main Avengers Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and Hulk their own separate movies to develop their characters and story as the time line moved forward and finally after five movies and over four years of waiting Marvel brought together the Avengers for their first team up and while all the movies in the MCU before this had made a massive profit and were loved by fans Avengers Assemble was Marvels biggest movie success that broke box office records achieved stellar reviews by both fans and critics and even after all the movies that came after it Avengers Assemble is still to this day one of the best comic book movies ever made giving die hard fans what they always wanted from their favourite comic book characters and creating a whole new generation of comic book fans that still continues to grow in 2020.
I really loved how the lesser known characters who were just cameos in the previous movies like Hawkeye and Black Widow got their chance to shine and evolve in this movie for example in Iron Man 2 Black Widow didn't do anything until the last 10 minutes of the movie and her character was very under developed same with Hawkeye in Thor he only got three lines and didn't even get to fire a single arrow at the time I was worried this is what was gunna happen to the none superhero characters that don't have their own movies but to Marvels credit they gave each character appropriate screen time and showed off just how badass Hawkeye and Black Widow can be and we got more character development and defined personalitys that make them the awsome characters they always have been.
The special effects and CGI is spectacular in this movie and really makes you appreciate just how amazing modern day movies with CGI and green screens can look when done right.
I highly recommend watching this movie if your a comic book and MCU fan even if your not and your just looking for a cool action movie to watch it's fun and badass.
