Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, and Samuel L. Jackson
Directed and Screenplay by: Joss Whedon
I have waited for two years for this movie and it's finally here. It's the biggest action movie of the year so far, and certainly the most anticipated. It's THE AVENGERS!!!!!!!
The Tesseract, a newly discovered power source, has been stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D., led by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). The perpetrator is none other than Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) brother. So now it's up to Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor, the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and a few others to retrieve the Tesseract before anybody gets hurt. Some assembly may be required to build this team known only as the Avengers.
As the release of the movie came closer, my expectations for the film went down. Fortunately, I was wrong. Let me begin by simply stating that this film is as awesome as you imagined it would be when you first heard about it.
Joss Whedon creates a somewhat normal superhero story that lacks some originality. It's the kind of story that normally, only one hero is needed to be a part of. And it clearly shows. Some characters are much more central to the story and have much more screen time than others. If you're a fan of Iron Man, you won't be disappointed. Sorry Captain America fans.
The special effects are.... as usual.... incredible! It's almost like you're watching a Michael Bay movie, only with a better story and without giant fighting robots. The film has fewer explosions and pyrotechnic effects than I thought it would, but I think it makes the film better because they didn't go overboard with the effects.
This film is not about the actual team of the Avengers, but instead its formation. We see that some of the characters don't exactly get along with each other in the beginning, yet have the same common goal; to ensure the safety of Earth and the return of the Tesseract.
So, if there are actually those of you reading this who haven't seen the film yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??
The Avengers assemble in a fashion deserving of an A.

Nice review Matthew. I had such a great time with this flick and definitely think it's one of the best superhero flicks since Spider-Man 2. Hopefully, Whedon will return for the sequel and makes it even better than this. Best way to kick off the Summer!
