First off, let me express my ridiculous love of all things
superhero. I’m a straight-up nerd in that respect (also in others that you will
learn soon enough. So having six heroes in one movie may be coolest movie
experience ever. “The Avengers” not only has a line-up of awesome Marvel
characters, but it has high-caliber, and in some cases iconic, actors playing
those heroes. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor
(Chris Hemsworth), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansen) and
The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).
The premise is simple enough, Loki, the adoptive brother of
Thor wants to obtain power to rule earth and have all of humanity as his
minions. Obviously The Avengers aren’t going to let this fly. So a misfit team
of heroes forms. But with six different personalities come six butting heads.
Comic relief from a tense situation (trying to save the world and all) comes
from the sarcastic Downey and the surprisingly hilarious Ruffalo. Bruce Banner
has some of the best lines in the movie, but there are major laughs in one
particular fight scene between The Hulk and Loki.
Joss Whedon (TV Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Cabin in the
Woods) has directed a beautifully concocted script that would make any comic
book fan would be proud of, probably the reason it was the best opening weekend
for a film of all time. It mixes the dramatic and comedic perfectly in an
action-packed adventure.
Make sure you stay until the end of the credits for a nibble
of what will come in the sequel.
