Splendid

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2016)

And remarkably brilliant. The action is dazzling the whole movie through. And the story escapes somehow to the usual plot of this kind of movies. All goes around the Tesseract, an energy source and who has got it or is trying to. Loki an exiled Norse god takes it and tries to use it to control or even destroy Earth with the help of and extra-terrestrial army of evil soldiers. The only solution S,H.I.E.L.D. (an agency aiming at Earth protection) envisages is to put together a team of legendary heroes to fight that threat. But these heroes (Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Thor and The Iron Man) are not exactly at the beginning very friendly to each other so their conflicts must be first appeased before they enter in action as The Avengers to fight Earth's enemy. Then the action develops itself in overwhelming fights, collective and individual of astonishing and appalling quality until the final defeat of the bad ones. Chiefly the final scenes are excellent indeed. This is one of the best movies of this kind ever made.
