Review of The Avengers (2012) by Elliott-Paul J — 14 Jul 2018

Marvels The Avengers 2012 was truly a build up of anticipation. After each of our hero's solo outings we see the characters and personalities come together in such a way that feels realistic and grounded, despite the fact that aliens are soon to fall out of the sky. Introduction and motivation to characters drives the movie, but beyond that we see that of course these individuals don't all get along at first. Why would they? The idea of them becoming a team is what pushes the film forward.

Director Joss Whedon takes he's experience from Buffy, Angel and Firefly and seamlessly builds the narrative with these already interesting characters. The action is nothing short of mind blowing and the CGI is seem less, particularly the work put into the hulk who's never looked better.

Loki, our villain from the film returns after the events of Thor (2011) is the one we all love to hate. What we as the audience can take away from he's character is that we understand he's motivations through real and understandable emotion. Truly the best villain Marvel had done thus far.

In conclusion, this movie has something to love for everyone. The pieces really did fall into place perfectly with this film.

In the words of Nick Fury; "Once there was an idea" , and boy did the idea work. As close to perfect as can be.
