Attend the Avengers for Action, Attitude and Amusement



The Avengers drives a story with the perfect amount of action that simply gets it’s a super hero film and doesn’t need to hype up action more than what it needs.  Filled with sophisticated and witty dialogue spoken by heroes as they mock one another while working together, it unveils a theme inspiring people of all ages but entertaining an adult audience attending the outing.  Most superheroes saving the world in this movie possess little ridiculously abnormal powers of superhero aliens like Superman, which makes their abilities even more fascinating and impressive because they created or learned their skills.  Cohesively joining the super intelligence of Tony Hark and Dr. Bruce Banner intelligently explains the problem of a realistic scientific force corrupting the world but also pairs it with a fascinating fanciful foe, and Captain America’s straightforward demand for their need to “speak English please” further humorously interprets the extreme dangers of the villains to a level the audience can follow and enjoy.  Extreme assassins like the kick-butt Black Widow and dashing agent The Hawk fight enemies with skills acquired from years of training, and their discipline makes them characters cool not because they’re so different from people but because they’re naturally similar to typical people…they’ve just undergone years of demanding and strenuous training.  Perhaps the most pleasantly exciting element of this movie is the Hulk’s character and contribution to the story.  Following serious cinematic Hulk flops from previous years, Mark Ruffalo finally gives a spectacularly prime performance during Dr. Banner’s calm states until transforming into the Hulk’s monstrous stage, which reveals a character filling the film with favorite comedic moments like punching Thor with a happy-go-lucky grin on his face after smashing up obnoxious bad guys.  The crazy chemistry of team Avengers fueled by constant bickering conversations entertains the audience with a captivating tennis match rhythm, especially when Iron Man and Captain America verbally joust with each other until C.A. finally influences Iron Man to drop his self-centered (though brilliant) attitude and make sacrifices defining a true hero, which epically pounds the heart gluing the quality of the film.  Though lasting a long two and a half hours, “The Avengers” promises a picture easily making people desire rewinding and playing it again.  Combining the sarcasm scoffing at overly dramatic moments, the heart of a good hero, and enough action making this movie exciting but not overplayed and unrealistic (unlike the latest 2011 Transformers), The Avengers delivers a movie worth spending $14 bucks for 3D glasses and a couple extra for a bag of butter popcorn and a small RB.
