Review of The Avengers (2012) by David J — 10 Dec 2015
Produced and directed without the same kind of goals as previous Marvel films, The Avengers focused on taking its massive budget and making the coolest, most spectacular movie they could. They pulled that off with aplomb. Iron Man and co must unite and work together to defeat Loki, Thor's crafty, wisecracking bro.
Every Avenger cast member hits the bullseye in the acting department. Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr probably are the best as the Hulk and Iron Man. Tom Hiddleston will endear himself to the world with his portrayal as Loki.
The action is plentiful, but thankfully director Joss Whedon doesn't saturate the film with it too badly; we still get some merciful respites as the directing crew really nail the pacing factor. Don't try to seriously compare the Avengers with Marvel's other movies. Its less serious and more obligatory, and it give fans a heck of a ride.
