The Avengers Review: Astonishingly Good







Almost 6 months since the release of the first trailer of The Avengers has now finally released. The movie surprisingly stood up to all the hype it created. Avengers is a well written movie with a good storyline and a mindblowing cast. Robert Downey Jr as usual is the most impressive personality in there. He does real justice to his role of Iron Man. With some witty dialogues and his rich attitude he literally lures the crowd. Hulk is awesome as ever. Powerful, indestructible and angry. Mark Ruffalo is the third actor to be playing Hulk and he doesn't does it bad at all . Thor is a bit of all brawn no brain kind of guy, but even then Chris Hemsworth does just enough to make you like him. Black Widow didn't play much of a part in there but yet her role was integral and Scarlett Johansson performs her duties well. Captain America was the old fashioned war soldier and he did well to acclimate himself in these modern wars. The way he manages to block almost everything from his shield is quite impressive. Chris Evans looks pretty comfortable in that role. Jeremy Renner continues from his impressive performance in MI4 and does brilliantly as Hawkeye. Infact he ain't much of a superhero but those arrows he got in there are quite awesome. Samuel Jackson gives a solid performance as Nick Fury and is well supported by Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill. A special mention to Tom Hiddleston who looks really mean and cunning in his negative role of Thor's brother Loki.

  
The storyline is plain and simple. There is nothing much to worry about. It revolves around a source of unlimited power called the 'Tesseract' which was also seen in previous Marvel comic movie Captain America: The First AvengerLoki to avenge his defeat from Thor decides to make a pact with the Chitauri tribe of aliens which means that Loki will bring them the Tesseract and they will let Loki have Earth. Loki uses his powers to take control over the minds of Hawkeye and Dr. Eric Salvig who was previously seen in Thor the movie. He steals the Tesseract and manages to get away. Then with an army he starts the execution of his plan to create a portal for the Chitauri tribe to enter the Earth. Meanwhile Nick Fury builds a team of people with special abilities and names them The Avengers who go on to defeat the Chitauri tribe, Loki and manage to save the Earth. Then they disappear. I won't go deep into the storyline as it would spoil your fun of watching the movie.

All I wanna say is, that the movie is class. The final fight is just mind blowing. This is undoubtedly the second best superhero movie of all time. And yeah, watch the movie in 3D. The movie was converted to 3D in post production but yet the effects are impressive. One more commendable thing the director Joss Wheedon do was that he did not let any one superhero standout and dominate the others. All were equally powerful and awesome. But even then Robert Downey Jr. steals the show with his charm. A must watch for superhero movie lovers. Deserves a watch. Don't miss it!
