Review of The Avengers (2012) by Naanfreezer — 27 Nov 2017

A great superhero film classic. It has the perfect mix of a great dynamic and fun humor. Truth be told, I prefer DC over Marvel, but there is no denying the true comic book essence and masterfulness of The Avengers.

The movie was hyped a lot over the course of a couple of years or so,with tons of trailers and teasers in the individual character films in Phase 1 of the MCU, and to most people, especially comic book fans, this movie does not disappoint.

Great characters, a great villain and epic action sequences make it a winner. And any true Marvel fan or comic book fan in general will start feeling that little kid in them start to jump up and down with glee at the end when the Avengers team up to save the city.

I have seen a lot of reviewers here criticize the movie for having a bland or simplistic plot, but you have to remember that this movie is a direct adaptation of the Avengers origin story from the comics, which was written back in 1963, when the concept of superheroes coming together to save the planet was not considered a "thin plot".

All in all, a great superhero movie that appeals greatly to both casual movie watchers and comic book fans. 9/10.
