Perfect at what it's trying to be.

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2012)

The Avengers finally assembled this year and I believe as everybody does that it is awesome. It in a sense is a flawless because it does everything that it is trying to and does it well. It's just as good as it needed to be and more. However, is it cinematic genius and one of the greatest films of all time? No. It's loads and loads of fun, the action scenes are great, the dialog is very witty, and the acting is good. But that's pretty much it. I'm not downgrading the movie at all. Everyone should see it and it is great, but it doesn't take any risks. It's a safe film, with nothing really unexpected. Asides from The Dark Knight, it is the best superhero movie thus far(still waiting for Dark Knight Rises), but it's the basic "take over the world" plot and there's just nothing that isn't surprising in the movie. Is it a good film? Yes. It's even a great film and does what it's trying to do perfectly. But is it the 49th best movie ever? Far far from it. Good, even great, but not cinematic history.
