The film follows The Avengers as they suit up to take down Loki (Tom Hiddleston)....Thor (Chris Hemsworth)'s brother. Then there's Tony Stark aka Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and, of course their leader...Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson). This is the great thing about this film. These are not eye candy actors, but rather experienced actors who know what they're doing and give us excellent chemistry and great dialogue. As well, everyone gets their moment to shine, and none of these moments feel forced in the slightest.
However, the credit can not be given all to the actors and Whedon. Zak Penn was the main writer on this. He directed Incident At Lochness and The Grand. Here, along with Whedon, he gives us the most fantastically written film you'll ever see. The film is realistic in its situations, and the two and a half hour running time feels completely necessary as everything in this film is 100 percent needed.
Marvel's The Avengers also features excellent uses of 3D and IMAX. IMAX has impressed me in the past, but I'm usually not one to want to see a movie in 3D. The 3D here is fantastic, though. It makes the film even more beautiful than it already is. Don't be afraid to throw down the extra four bucks because the 3D is worth far more than that.
Marvel's The Avengers has been getting hyped up for around two years now, and unlike the recent The Hunger Games, this film lives up to that hype. Even if you don't like superhero films....this film is so much more about superheroes, and even you will be likely to enjoy it.
(5 out of 5 Stars...The film is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action throughout, and a mild drug reference)
