How come one superhero wasn't enough??
The Avengers as you've all guessed by watching the trailers and reading comics is an ensemble of all the super heroes in one mission.
The Avengers in this part are , Captain America, Thor, IronMan, Hulk and Hawkeye and my favorite avenger-Black Widow played by Scarlett Johansen ( She looked stunning!!!! ).
This is the first movie of the Avenger series which shows how and why the avengers come together.
The story is simple Thor's brother Loki tries to enslave the humans by using the power of the "Tesseract" to teleport "Evil" God's creations and creatures from the land of the Gods, Asgard. The Avengers put together by SHIELD's lead, Fury ( Samuel Jackson ) try and stop these creatures/Demi Gods from taking over the world.
The screenplay never deviated from the core of the story and there wasn't any one moment where I felt the movie was boring. The action sequences were breathtaking, loud and perfectly choreographed, I'd say special effects at its best. There's so much special effects in the movie and yet you don't notice anything, that's how good it is. At this rate I believe Marvel might soon buy the company which makes these special effects and make it an in-house unit.
The camera work though very difficult since they need to make it in 3D , would've been better had they shot the movie in IMAX instead of remastering it, there were a few action scenes which were not clear ( ie too fast transition) since it was not shot in IMAX. Adding some complication to the special effects and the way we see it was the 3D. Though it was good, some scenes were not as good as normal special effects, the 3D distorted the picture a bit.
Music was excellent, nevertheless it comes from a guy who's considered "The Guru" of comic recreations and animation movies, Alan Silvestri. Using the London Symphony Orchestra was a very good decision since a movie of such grandeur needs a lift in the music department as well. The surround sound was one of the best I've heard in a long time ...
What was so good about the movie was even though the movie was an action movie it had a lot of humor in between the scenes which lifted the nail biting tension off ( even though there wasn't any ;) )
Overall the movie was a great entertainer! I might even watch it again...
My rating for this would be a 8.5!
