I was not expecting much from the Avengers when I first heard of it, I was pretty disappointed with Marvel's previous films which claimed to lead up to this HUGE climax. Iron Man had it's moments, but don't talk to me about it's sequel! Captain America was only redeemed thanks to Hugo Weaving and Nazis and Thor...well...Thor was just plain rubbish!
So, to be honest, Avengers did not act on the contrary! The plot is that of a children's TV programme, not of a supposed Oscar worthy blockbuster. The villain, Loki, and his henchmen had no thought but in to him at all, he is a stereo-type that has just been used too often; a war-mongering, idiotic Englishman and they were given no back story at all - who the hell where they? The icing on the cake is that, some of the acting and directing is just appalling and there is one scene where this factor is incredibly prominent...
Hawkeye is on top of a building firing arrows at the "aliens" and Captain America is with other members - I can't really remember, I've tried my very best to erase this movie from my mind- and starts to talk to the archer. But how? Neither of them are wearing microphones or shouting... If there is a logical explanation I do apologize, but I seriously doubt it. I have done research on all of the Avengers featured and no where was there a mention of telepathic powers.
Having said these horrid things, I did enjoy Robert Downey Jr. and Black Widow was nice eye candy!
