Review of The Avengers (2012) by Bananapants34 — 02 Sep 2016
Truly one of the most overrated movies in the past decade. It's so riddled with flaws that it's truly a shame how successful it is. Where do I begin. The villain has absolutely no motivation, your just supposed to wonder why he does what he does, and then get distracted by pretty explosions.
The plot is overly simple, and could be condensed into a 40 minute TV show. The fights between avengers get in the way of the plot, and have no stakes because all the characters are invincible. There are too many main characters to keep up with, all of which are underdeveloped, so the entire movie you feel like there is something you're out of the loop about.
The biggest problem overall, is that film is so set on reminding you that it's a comic book movie, and trying to pit as many hero's and villains against each other as it can in two and a half hours, that it never has anything to say.
Teamwork. That's as much of a theme as I can derive from this movie that's way too long, and has much too little to say.
