Finally, Joss Whedon gets the recognition he deserves...
After creating some of the most compelling, intelligent and entertaining TV shows of all time - Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse - he brings the same mastery of writing ensemble casts to the big screen, and people see what he is capable of.
Just give the guy a blank cheque, and let him write all the sci-fi and fantasy he wants.
Far from being immature entertainment, his previous masterpieces all respected the intelligence of the audience, and contained characters that were so likable and charismatic, that it was impossible not to tune in each week.
Here, he does what he did in Buffy, Angel and Firefly, but he does it with a massive budget, and some of the most famous superheroes in the world. Who else could have written and directed a film starring Iron Man, Thor, The Hulk and Captain America, but doing them all justice? Not only that but also doing justice to Nick Fury, Hawkeye and Black Widow. His trademark aptitude for writing strong female protagonists really came through with Black Widow.
Go see it - then watch all of Buffy, Angel and Firefly.
