Marve's The Avengers
What can I say that hasn't been said hundreds of times before?
The Avengers is one of the biggest payoffs in film history given the setup that has been on going for half a decade.
Beginning with 2008's Iron Man, Marvel Studios, through a series of successful solo super hero films, has been constructing the on screen comic book world that would ultimately give Joss Whedon and his creative team the foundation needed to present a super hero team up like no other.
Avengers is not flawless however the film's strengths outweigh it's weaknesses to such a degree to make them irrelevant. The action set pieces are visually breathtaking with such smooth camera movement that the viewer is drawn into each cut effortlessly.
Though the Avengers lacks some character development it is unnecessary since much of that exposition was explored in the earlier films which leaves Whedon free to delve into the main plot without hesitation.
As it has been said before all the main characters, Thor, Iron man, Hulk, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Nick Fury etc are each given a moment to shine with equal balance.
The surprise standout has to be Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk.
What had been such a chore for the previous incarnation of the Hulk character have been smoothly replaced with realistic, state of the art, motion capture CGI and blended with Ruffalo's spot on performance to finally bring the Hulk to life in the way we as fans had always wanted.
I could go on and having seen the film twice I would love to enjoy it again. Definitely a top choice for my bluray collection when Avengers is available later this year.
I give Avengers
4.5 out of 5 points, its that good.
