The Avengers Movie Review

The Avengers is one of 2012’s most awaited films. And if you are one of those eagerly waiting to see it on the big screen, you won’t be disappointed. The Avengers is a film with a good combination of action, drama and humor as well as special effects. Director Joss Whedon really did a great job in bringing together all these characters from different films and be able to make them work on a single project.

The Avengers are already famous. They first came to light on the pages of Marvel Comics. When news broke out that all the actors from Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk will be joining together for The Avengers movie, everyone just got excited at the idea. Now, excitement is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak.

The film is filled with a lot of visual effects as expected. The visuals used were really well made and edited. The studio spared no expense in creating the villains, the explosions, the floating S.H.I.E.L.D. carrier, the heroes and The Hulk. In this film, the effects are just one part of the story. Unlike some films out there who uses the effects to be the story, the effects in the Avengers help mould the story.

Sometimes it is a difficult task bringing together actors from different films together in one movie. As far as I know, this is the first time that has happened on a big scale. But Whedon did a remarkable job in joining these different actors together. Each actor shines on his/her own but never gets overshadowed by the other actors when they are together in a scene. Each character has a spotlight moment and you will remember all of them. Even the villain Loki has a lot of memorable moments but for me, the Hulk grabs it all.

Cinematography is also one key element in the film. And this was handled well. Whedon delivered great scenes and great camera angles which suited each of the action sequences and dialogue scenes in the film. Whedon really has a good eye and that is why he has tons of fans, myself included.

The plot of the film is simple. An alien force is trying to invade our world and these heroes band together to save us from total annihilation. But the film goes beyond that. It focuses on the heroes and how they overcome their differences. The film is about how they became the Avengers and all the hardships they had to get past to become Earth’s mightiest heroes. It also tackles each of the character’s weak spot. What troubles them, what motivates them and their trust issues are all presented in the film.

The film wasn’t perfect. It still has flaws like there are parts where a scene might become dull. But all of that is covered by the rest of the best things it offers. And like all Marvel films, you will get shocked at the twists and excited for what comes next. Like a purple villain planning his revenge on our heroes.

All of that makes this comic book movie one hell of a ride. It is fun and will definitely make the crowd roar in laughter and excitement. You will love the film for the spotlight scenes they give to each character. I recommend you watch it in 3D to add more life to the effects and the action sequences.

The Avengers is worth the wait. It is a film I will see again and again soon. It is fun, sticks true to the comic books in a sense and it tells a good story. I highly recommend you watch it with family and friends to share the laughter so to speak.

The Avengers assembles and dishes out one of the best films of the year. I just had a great time. I give it 9 out of 10.
