Review of The Avengers (2012) by Brandon S — 18 Feb 2016

This is the quintessential comic book movie, being as the majority comic book fans didn't think it would ever happen. And now that it has, it has become an instant classic. It's a piece of filmmaking that strives to capture the imagination, nothing more or less, and it does that with a flawless ease.

Joss Whedon has made something thoroughly impressive here. Not only is it a fun summer blockbuster, it's just a genuinely well made film. This is our generation's "Star Wars," because it's a talented filmmaker working with rich and creative source material, unbelievable visual effects, an all-star cast, and a consistently fun and exciting atmosphere.

I couldn't have possibly enjoyed this movie more. It's one of the best summer movies I've ever seen!
