The Avengers 

May 8, 2012

Any movie that ends after the credits with anexhausted Avenger team stuffing their faces withshawarmas, no dialogue, no recognition of eachother or the camera and you just have to lovethese characters saving our universe by workingtogether as a team .

One Word Movie Review: Hulkadorable

There are so many good things

happening in The Avengers that one

should resist taking it apart to analyze

why it works so well. So I will

concentrate on the team itself and the

interplay of characters that slowly

 build into a classic battle royale with

our world at stake. This all-superstar 

feature has been building for years,

with the Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor 

movies all building towards this union of powerful

costumes to defend us in our time of greatest need.

It works because there isn’t one dominating hero, but acareful balance of stealth and strength, arrogance and

genius, courage and sacrifice and ultimately, planning

over reacting. Writer/director Joss Whedon delivers the

whole package here, using his natural ease with women

warriors to bring out the best of the Black Widow

character as well as the manipulations of Nick Fury and

controlling the wisecracks of Tony Stark.

The result is a tight story; moments for each hero to shine

 bright and display vulnerability underneath the super  powers that make even a demi-god seem human.

The evil Loki never seems to rise to a supreme level of 

threatening menace that the story requires, but this is a

minor fault. This is a movie where Whedon delivers on

the promise hinted at in the previous movies.

The Story 

 Not much really, except we meet each hero in their own

intro scene (Black Widow has the best intro, tied to an

interrogation chair) and they fight each other over petty

misunderstandings. Then the evil Loki threatens the

world, we capture him and pay the price, things get

desperate and then, as a portal to another universe full of monstrous aliens opens above Manhattan, we watch our 

heroes smash their way to temporary victory.

Will they be needed again? By Thanos, yes! Wait for the

end scenes in the credits for a hint of Avengers 2 and then

the inspired end scene of hungry heroes exhausted and

drained. The best.

The Genre 

The “sci-fi fantasy super hero comic book action

adventure comedy romance” genre is super hot these days.

My audience was a mix of dates, teens, families and

my theater even applauded at the end!

centerpiece of the Marvel Universe of characters.
