      Hughes S just amazing this movie is! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/22 Full Review Liza K I want to share with you a review of the movie "The Avengers", which was released by Marvel in 2012. The film is directed by Joss Whedon. The film's budget is $220,000,000. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Stellan Skarsgard, Samuel L. Jackson. The story begins with an experiment on the Tesseract, an ancient relic that is a source of infinite energy at the base of the SHIELD, where Loki, the God of lies and deceit, appears from a portal. He takes possession of the Tesseract and forces Clint Barton and Eric Selvig to also declare war for the subjugation of the Earth. Fury then turns to the most powerful heroes for help, activating the "Avengers Initiative" to save the Tesseract and stop the attack planned by Loki. He unites Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, the Thunder God Thor, Agent Romanoff and later Hawkeye. Together they must fight Loki's army to protect the Earth. The acting is excellent, I especially liked the performance of Robert Downey Jr., who played Iron Man. I had the feeling that he was not playing, but living this little life, getting tremendous pleasure from this image. I also liked the music playing in the film, especially AC/DC - Shoot To Thrill. I really liked the ending, where the true character of Tony Stark is revealed very well. It was interesting to watch, and if you like the Marvel universe, then you just need to watch it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Scott M The entire movie was slow and repetitive. Nothing original or interesting. I skipped through most of it. But I did enjoy watching Robert Downey and Scarlet Johannson. So I gave it 2 stars for those two. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review diam0ndkiller It's a great start to the series. Plot is pretty good and implementation is great (like in most Marvels). Overall VERY solid. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Rana fareed ur rehman It is one of the best movies that Marvel has ever made and the film has it all; the jokes, action and beautiful visual effects for its time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Jacob C I mean what else would you expect from Marvel. The prior solo films of some of the main characters led us to this point that will kickstart a journey unlike anything in cinema since Star Wars.

      Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online The comedic timing, coupled with his ability to maintain the authenticity of the characters, is worthy of praise. The Avengers delivers a popcorn feast that's the perfect summer kickoff. Rated: B+ Sep 8, 2017 Full Review David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) Downey's Stark/Iron Man steals the show because the actor is capable of making the tritest dialogue sound wonderfully witty, but the CGI effects are amazing and, despite its length, the film is very enjoyable. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 7, 2015 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator This will be loved by genre fans, when all is said and done/ But at two hours forty, you may find it numbs your bum/ Seriously, more attention to character could have made it a lot more fun/ And now I have said all that, I believe my poem is done. Aug 24, 2014 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Seems like a miracle that something like this could be pulled off, fully amplifying and improving upon everything each solo MCU movie accomplished before it, while also standing on its own with the team dynamics. Rated: 5/5 Sep 24, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand You wouldn’t accuse 'The Avengers' of being good drama, but the sprawling, splashy spectacle and its much-much-much-larger-than-life heroes makes for a genuine comic book epic for the big screen. Jan 7, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review After four years’ worth of building piece by piece against mounting expectations, Marvel and Whedon have managed to satisfy the majority of fan expectations, and in some ways, even exceeded them. Rated: 4/4 Nov 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
