The Avengers was pretty sweet

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2012)

Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), the Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans) make The Avengers. This film is pretty sweet.
The Avengers assemble to face off against the god of mischief himself, Loki (portrayed by Tom Hiddleston).
What does The Avengers have? Awesome visual effects; great characters; great direction; not the best plot. I can't think of any other villains that they could have fought against, well villains of these superheroes. Magneto or a Batman villain could have worked, but of course that goes out of their section of villains. I just wasn't feeling the alien invasion thing. Though, the action was incredible – and it prevented the viewer from becoming bored. The gags were really funny, Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk added charisma to the film. The film casts a big box office shadow for upcoming super hero films like The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises, so hopefully those don't disappoint.
My expectations were high, from hearing all of the awesome things about it, so I didn't enjoy it AS much as I wanted to. Granted, the film is still better than one's average super hero film and was still enjoyable.
VERDICT: 84/100
