And there came a day unlike any other. When Earth’s
Mightiest Heroes found themselves united against a common threat. On that day,
the Avengers were born…on the silver
screen. For 4 years, we have been
treated to the works of Marvel Studios. We have seen the likes of the Iron Man,
the Hulk, Thor and Captain America all come to the big screen and make names
for themselves. Though each film has been able to stand alone, there has always
been one thing circling each film: the inevitable team up. Now with director
Joss Whedon at the helm, the wait is finally over. With so much riding on this
film, did the superhero team up live up to the hype? Wait no longer as it is
time to assemble the review of “Marvel’s
The Avengers”.
The story of “The Avengers”
deals with what else: the formation of the Avengers. Iron Man, Captain America,
Thor and Hulk team up to take on Loki who means to bring war to the earth in
the hopes to rule over the human race as their king. The film’s major theme is
of course bringing these heroes together, and it does terrific job at making
the idea a reality. The script of the Avengers creates enough depth and
conflict in the plot to keep you interested from the beginning to the end. There is no denying that the movie is action
oriented, but thankfully, the writier never forgets the relevance of
storytelling.
The Avengers
features a grand cast full of reprisals and newcomers. The likes of Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans,
Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson, among others, return to their roles continuing
and continue to develop. Then there are newcomers such as Mark Rufallo as Bruce
Banner and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye. These two prove that they belong in this
cast as they play both parts respectively. This
cast is an ensemble personified. Each character gets enough screen time and
development in the film giving everyone a purpose for being in this movie. The
different combinations of performances made this cast stronger and really made
for one the best ensemble I have seen for quite some time.
The movie is an action oriented film, and trust me, you will
receive your money worth in that regard. There is enough action in this film
for everyone as it the movie does a terrific job giving a variety of action as well
putting detail into sequences. There are also several funny moments in the movie,
but they are all in context and blends well with some of the film’s more tensed
scenes. Yet among everything that makes this movie great, one of the more
impressive feats is being able to mix the individual films’ traits and combining
them to create a united atmosphere.
“The Avengers” was
four years in the making, and it exceeded expectations. Yes the film has a ton
of action, but the movie never forgets the relevance of storytelling and
characters. It mixes everything that
each film accomplished and manages to make it work in one feature presentation.
This film is for both comic book fans and movie goers alike and it is
everything a comic book film should be. It rivals the like of “The Dark Knight” as “The Avengers” is in fact the perfect
comic book film.
