The Avengers Review

     It's been about a week since I saw Avengers. In 2008 at the end of Iron Man we were promised The Avengers. Was it worth the wait or have we been waiting for 4 years for nothing?  
     Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark/Iron Man he has become that character he kills it as he did in his previous 2 movies. Chris Evans returns as Steve Rogers/Captain America he too did an amazing job. His character is trying to ease his way back into a society that he hasn't been part of for a long time, which makes for some humorous scenes. Chris Hemsworth returns as Thor, at the end of the Thor movie you see his character start to mature and he continues to mature throughout the Avengers. Now to a contoversial character. Mark Ruffalo got the role of Bruce Banner/Hulk over Edward Norten who played the role in The Incredible Hulk in 2008. I think Ruffalo did a fine job and i didn't miss Norten at all. Scarlett Johansson returns as Black Widow and she has a bigger role than she did in Iron Man 2. Same goes for Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye who had a brief appearance in Thor.  Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury and he was amazing as always. Last but not least let's talk about the villain. Tom Hiddleston returns as Loki. He turned in the best acting job as a villian since Heath Ledger as the Joker in The Dark Knight.          
      The action scenes were phenomonal. I don't think any superhero movie has been so action packed in a long time if ever. I liked how the team members didn't get along at first, they didn't come together right away. It was realistic in the sense where if you get four big personalities on a team setting they're going to clash. I loved it when they did come together and fought the last 30 minutes of the movie alone were worth the price of admission.  
     I believe this is the best superhero movie since The Dark Knight. I prefer it to The Dark Knight for 2 reasons; first of all I prefer Marvel comics over DC. Second The Dark Knight was just a Batman movie, this movie has four superheros. I think Joss Whedon knocked it out of the park, this movie gets 5 stars out of 5.
