Review of The Avengers (2012) by Matt G — 24 Aug 2018
Audiences and critics loved that the Avengers are all white. Thank God there are no minorities in the Avengers. All sarcasm aside, this was such a mediocre movie -- a bunch of good guys get together to fight the bad guys and save the world. Never seen that before. Predictably, the good guys don't get along at first but they eventually come together to defend Earth from some seriously bland and generic aliens who aren't intimidating at all.
Coulson's death was supposed to be a pivotal moment in the film, but absolutely no one cared about him so that just totally fell flat.
Tom Hiddleston gave a very limp-wristed performance as Loki. Apparently he reasoned that Loki sounds like "low-key" so why not play the character that way?
The action sequences were all lackluster. Like all the other PG-13 comic book movies, the fights are all sanitized of blood, gore and anything that would be too violent. Therefore, the fight scenes all suck. But hey, at least the Avengers are all white, am I right?
