Review of The Avengers (2012) by Andy B — 23 Oct 2017
The Avengers. A maniacal Marvel ensemble pinata party. Skip the obvious fun-ness of a solid lineup of charismatic heroes of well-made solo franchises, this is a good flick and not a great movie. I hate harping on "believe-ability" especially pertaining to sci-fi movies but there are massive, blazing plausibility issues within this story.
Is a meager squadron of slow, un-stealthy, poorly armed aliens flying chariots through a single 100 ft. bottleneck over NYC, which is located in the United States, the largest and most dangerous arsenal in the world really an existential threat to the World Security Council, SHIELD, The Avengers, planet Earth? Thanos & Loki must have been high when they cooked up this plan.
The Avengers were equally misguided in showing up for this fight considering the whole problem could've been solved by a single surface-to-air guided missile battery. Especially when the enemy can apparently be put down with punches, arrows and pistol caliber rounds.
It wouldn't take Stonewall Jackson to stop this silly raid.
