Review of The Avengers (2012) by Faizal B — 20 Aug 2015

Marvel's The Avengers gives us a terrific cast with great performances and brilliantly crafted set pieces to bring us the ultimate pay off after a string of solo films starring its' heroes. The story is humanized and balances the characters very well with each having their own time to shine and while the action is abundant and never-ending, it doesn't distract the amazing plot penned by Joss Whedon and Zak Penn. The cast is charismatic and has great banter which produces memorable quotable lines and the action sequences are rather crafted masterfully with a great amount of fun. Marvel's The Avengers is a two and half our romp of endless fun, giving it a high re-watch factor. It might also be one of this decade's most memorable films, but it is definitely an impressively made popcorn flick that you might never get tired of.

-4 stars.
