Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. brings together a team of super humans to form The Avengers to help save the Earth from Loki and his army. (IMBD)
"There was an idea"... and what an idea it was. The Avengers has surely got to go down as the best Marvel film ever brought to us since the first Spider-Man movie. We have waited since the first mention of The Avengers assembling way back in 2008 when Iron Man hit the screens. Finally, in 2012, five years later, comic book fans, you're average beef cake with the hot girlfriend, and every other human being witnessed the start of something much more than a comic book film.
If you have yet to see Avengers Assemble (please note, I will just call it The Avengers, as it should be called in my eyes) then need to worry about spoilers. The Avengers brings out the best in what the latest Marvel films lacked. There is spirit in the film, and the action is enough to make a geek have a wet dream over for the next few years. The main character I was concerened about was the Hulk. In previous films, the Hulk hasn't exactly been, well, brilliant. The less said about HULK the better. Edward Norton's interpritation in The Incredible Hulk however, was a little bit better but am I the only one that thought 'how can such a huge green monster come from that scrwany guy?'. Mark Ruffalo took the stage to take on the part of Bana and in all honest, he did an incredble job (like the pun there?). It feels that the Hulk actually has some ground to base on with Ruffalo's terrific performance. Performances from Robert Downey JR, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans all worked together beautifully. It's as if God himself had made these actors work together and display pure talent in front of our eyes.. maybe not God, thats a bit too far, perhaps somone like... Morgan Freeman? He's the closest thing we've got to a God. The whole concept of The Avengers is remarkable.
The story goes with Thor's evil brother Loki bargains with a charcater named The Other. In exchange for retrieving the Tesseract, a powerful energy source of unknown potential, the Other promises Loki Chitauri army with which he can subjugate the Earth. S.H.I.E.L.D. bring together the greatest hero's we have in defense of the Earth. The Avengers is full of brilliant one liners that leave you in hysterics even after the film has finished.
Having seen The Avengers five times now (three times in IMAX, once in 3D and 2D, just saying) it is going to take something big for The Avengers to not be named movie of the year. This worries me a little as I am a huge Batman fan and later this year The Dark Knight Rises will be hitting the screens. In all seriousness, if you haven't seen The Avengers, you heven't lived. It's that simple.
