Movie Review
Finally, here is my review of the newly released Avengers movie. I will attempt to write a spoiler free review for you as I know some people will see and have not yet done. So just the sense of it with no (or not too many) plot give aways.
In this movie we have the return of Loki as the villian with the cube that appeared in Captain America, the tesseract used by the Red Skull with unlimited power. With this he will open a portal and let in an army from another world and subjugate Earth. Nick Fury and the Avengers will seek to prevent this. I am not giving anything away really as that is clear from the first part of the movie. Cutting it just in case.
What I really love about this movie is that it plays on the strength of the individual characters and the interesting situation of actually assembling them as a team. Nick Fury, the head of shield is trying to turn these super heroes who always work alone, into a team and that inherently is difficult. We have Stark (Iron Man) who seems to get all the witty one liners in the film. We have Captain America, Mr. Earnest and my candidate for Team Leader...he is always thinking of strategy and the big picture. The Hulk, or Dr. Banner, really well played here by Mark Ruffalo. I would totally like to see a new Hulk Film with him in it. Thor was well Thor in all his grandness. Black Widow totally has the moves and Hawkman is Mr. Gorgeous and rocked his bow.
For a while they were divided and bickering and then they come together as The Avengers to rock it for the climax. For me the battle scene is almost secondary to the team element and I am glad for that. The group dynamic seemed more important to me. I think the director Joss Whedon, of Buffy the Vampire fame, did well with that.
Here is a hint, wait until after the end credits, as there is a little gem of a thing after those. You will not be disappointed.
I really enjoyed this film, I laughed, I sympathized, I was with them. I thought each Avenger was featured and showed to their strength. Keep in mind that my bias is that I am an Avenger fan so I go in with that. I love these movies.
I hope you will enjoy this as much as I did.
