THE MOVIE: CRITIC'S TAKE
It's about damn time! All this wait for the most anticipated movie of all time was tiring. Fan boys finally achieved their orgasms when the movie opened this past Friday. I decided to wait after the weekend was over to give some people a chance of seeing it so they could stop bothering me about it. I for one couldn't wait to see it and the excitement building around it was breathtaking. People standing in line dressed as Iron Man and Black Widow made the experience even more special. So for all this hype did the movie deliver the goods? I can say that this movie did give you everything you wanted but left you wanting more. That's not a bad thing either.
STORY
Something weird is happening at a S.H.I.E.L.D base that drew the attention of Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson. He enlisted Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renney, to watch over the Tesseract. Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, uses the Tesseract to enter earth. He quickly disables everyone and takes Hawkeye as his stooge. Fearing that war may come to earth he invokes the Avenger clause. When shit hits the fan, call on the Avengers. One problem though. They may not give a damn.
Black Widow talks the Hulk into coming on board but only as a scientist. He and Tony Stark both hit it off once they meet. I wish I could say the same for him and Thor but they ended up on different pages and up each other's ass. Thor wants to take Loki back home but Iron Man and his crew needs him to find the Tesseract. After a physical disagreement Captian America was able to talk sense into both of them. After his Shield met Thor's Hammer of course.
Once they detain Loki they immediately know something is up. Black Widow mentally seduces Loki into telling her what he wanted. That's to take control of the Hulk and send him into a back breaking rampage. Hawkeye and his crew finds them all and unleashes a shit storm upon them. This causes Bruce to get very angry and turns himself into the Hulk. He almost eats Black Widow until Thor came to the rescue. The fight that everyone want to see happened, proving that Thor can withstand the Hulk and the Hulk can toss Thor around like a rag doll. Thor found out the hard way that Gods can bleed.
Loki manages to piss them all off by killing a trusted friend. Filled with vengeance they all come back together to not only save the world but kick the shit out of Loki. Captain emerges as their team leader and calls all the shots. The battle itself was epic and it was neat to see them all come together for a common purpose. The film is a thrill ride from beginning to end and a comic books lover dream come true. The Avengers lived up to the hype.
ACTING
The acting here was great. Every person played their character like they did in their own films. Mark Ruffalo played a better Hulk in my opinion than Edward Norton. He brought a different demeanor to the Hulk rather than being depressed all the time. The chemistry with the main super heroes was intact. Robert Downer Jr and Mark flowed great together while Chris Evans tried to fit in but ended up having tension with just about everyone else except for Jeremy and Scarlett Johansson. Samuel L. Jackson was dead on with everyone he touched and didn't lack a sense of nobility while being a straight up liar. Overall the acting was believable which made the film even better.
SPECIAL EFFECTS
The special effects were great for the eyes. You have to see it in 3D. It reminded me of Transformers 3. The 3D in that movie was better but the Avengers damn sure came close to surpassing it. The CGI looked real enough to please comic book fans and action lovers alike. The only thing that made me laugh was seeing Black Widow with that starter pistol shooting up the aliens. Like come on guys. You couldn't give that female Rambo a better weapon? Overall the special effects won't disappoint you.
WRITING AND DIRECTING
The film was written and directed by Joss Whedon. He was able to mix up the humor and the serious tone nicely. He captured the humor of Tony Stark, the soldier boy attitude of Captain America, Thor's Godly demeanor, and Hulk's ability to rip shit apart. He wrote some nail biting and intense scenes but some of the dialog could have been left out. The movie is predictable but I doubt that will matter in the long run. His directing didn't bring anything new. He was able to capture some spectacular shots but overall It's just another action packed movie. I did like it when Hulk knocked out a dinosaur like alien with one punch. A great scene for a great movie.
OVERALL
It's a must see. See it in IMAX and 3D. It's worth every penny. You might feel the need to watch it 2 or 3 times. I know a lot of people will. It's that type of movie that's so much fun you got to see it multiple times. It's a lot of fun and a great pick me up movie.
