Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2012)

The main plot starts within the first five minutes to ten minutes when Loki infiltrates the Shield base and causes it's destruction. leading up to the creation of the Avengers.The Avengers is a great superhero flick. The chemistry between the actors is great and all the superheroes deliver. Especially the Hulk, Mark Ruffalo gave the Best performance of any Hulk on the big screen. Robert Downey Jr. isn't as witty and charismatic as in Iron Man but that is expected due to him having to share the spotlight. Tom Hiddleston's portrayal of Loki is one to be praised the misunderstood god in Thor becomes much more menacing and this time he knows exactly what he wants. His performance is reminiscent of Heath Ledgers in his Oscar winning performance of the joker. Overall, The Avengers is a fun superhero film. I is not Oscar worthy, but it a great popcorn flick.
