They did it! Fantastic blockbuster

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2012)

When I first heard of the idea to actually produce an Avengers film I was of course intrigued, as the idea of making a super-team movie had never been accomplished before. But the Marvel Universe films had all been cleverly inter-connected and the stage was ripe for the Avengers to be made. Naturally in a film with so many A list actors, so many hero's and so many ego's, the potential for disappointment was vast, but I'm happy to say The Avengers was thoroughly enjoyable. The script is funny, the action comes thick and fast, and is choreographed much better than in any of the other Marvel films, and all the things you liked or cared about the characters before has been carried on. A very enjoyable summer movie, easily living up to the weight of expectation.
