Review of The Avengers (2012) by Joshua W — 22 Mar 2016

After five years of waiting, and 5 other movies, it is finally here! And man was this movie awesome. I was honestly expecting to be disapointed, just because this movie was so hyped and to think about it, it was the 6th film in a series, but it was really good.

Loki as the bad guy (I thought before it was a poor choice) was dead on. He was much more evil compared to more jealous and trickster like in Thor. All the heroes were good and it didn't feel all mashed together.

They all kept their induviduality, which I was afraid wouldn't happen, but Robert Downey, Jr. steals the show (but not too much that he over shadows everyone else). Plus there are some sweet fight scenes between the heroes, Hulk vs Thor, Thor vs Iron Man, and we were kind of robbed of Iron Man vs Captain American, but I guess I'll forgive them.

Also, Mark Ruffalo was a much better Bruce Banner then I thought he would be. The movie is just shy of 2 and a half hours, but its not draggy whatsoever. I honestly wished it was longer. Minus the Dark Knight, the Avengers is my favorite super hero/comic movie.
