A couple of months ago, I reviewed the Avengers film series in preparation for the film, now the film's been out for a couple of months and it's the 3rd highest grossing film of all time, so I feel the time is right to review it.
We all know the score, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye join forces to defeat Loki, Thor's adopted brother who brings alien baddies to Earth and soon the world's in trouble and it needs protecting. Cue the Avengers!!
This film is basically a comic book fan's wet dream, loads of superheroes fighting together. What I love is the crossovers, you get Iron Man and Captain America working together and Thor and Hulk do a little teamwork too. You've got Iron Man's intelligent put-downs, Captain America's leadership, Thor's general awesomeness, Hawkeye's accuracy, Black Widow's skills in combat and Hulk's SMASH!! Plus Nick Fury watching over them, I was expecting him at one point to say "I've had it with this motherf***in' aliens on this motherf***in' Earth!" or "Say what again, I dare you!" Sadly not, though there was a stupid ass idea involved.
Something else that I loved was the comedy. There were a lot of jokes and visual gags, we all know which ones we loved, something involving a big green man beating up two gods, on separate occasions. Iron Man was on perfect sarcastic form and Hulk even got a couple of jokes too!
So, this is the perfect blockbuster; comedy, action, explosions, an easy-to-follow story and heroes uniting to kick some butt!
