Marginally short of Extra expectation

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2012)

Compared to Captain America or Iron man the quality of suspense, heroism, the definition of a soldier is not there in this movie.Though the action element is incredible, there is noticeable lack of spirit.
"Transformers" or "The rise of cobra" or "Battle LA" or even JL movies exhibit a thrill which would make one to feel the battle of survival. Plot is very predictable and the lack of mystery makes it even worse.
For those people who have watched similar team effort crisis control by a bunch of supers as in JL there is always an extra expectation, should understand that in Avengers, except for Thor and Loki, the others are only highly skilled or enhanced human beings.
Having said all this I still have given an 8 because it is still a Marvel. The visuals the combats and the policy of equal footing for all Heroes, made the movie worth its money.
