The wait is over!!One of the most Hyped movies in Superhero Film History opened up for viewers 2 weeks back in India and just a week back in the US to a thunderous Box Office record and some rave reviews as well...So does this movie live up to the hype, or is it just cashing in on fans of the various films..well, just like Marvel's most movies are-This one does not disappoint....
Bringing together an ensemble like this, is no easy task, not only am I referring to the number of Actors on Screen but the sheer scale of the characters...While you have the more recent, Captain America and Thor of last year on one hand, you have modern day idols like Bruce Banner aka The Hulk and ofcourse the Genius, Flambuoyant and Super Awesome Tony Stark aka Iron Man!!....Hawkeye and Black Widow, although vital, seem to be add-ons in the film, but don't make you feel like they have no role to play...I particularly liked Scarlett's opening scene where she speaks Russian and it sounds so good that you don't care what it means...this one's for the guys out there I'm afraid.
For the girls ofcourse, there's plenty options...
Now the premise would make total sense to you, if you have seen ALL of the movies related to the characters, especially Captain America and Thor as it released just last year as a purpose for a build up to this movie. The Super Villian is non other than Loki-Thor's half brother who he let go off but who comes to Earth to destroy the world(nothing new there I know)...but it does not feel like you've seen the premise before...
The presentation is fresh, and each character gets an equal amount of attention. Mark Ruffalo takes over from Edward Norton and although his caracter as Bruce is average, THE HULK itself is the best you've ever seen...He's funny and ultimately takes away all the applause of the audience. I particularly liked him in one scene where Loki seriously is trying to make him understand the implications of harming him,. and HULK just starts smashing him all around the room...It's a scene that will not go out of your mind easily....
Captain America is boring again! I don't particularly like him, but he does manage to fit in as a part of the ensemble.
Thor is definitely one of my favorite superheroes as of now. He has carried on brilliant form from his individual movie as well(More on that in my review of Thor).
But the one man, who you cannot stop loving is TONY STARK-Robert Downey Jr. has ensured that he will play Iron Man forever and any other person even trying to do so in the future will be doomed!!...He's as good as ever....
The best bits of this movie is ofcourse in the last half hour where all hell breaks loose...These 30 minutes are the reason to watch this movie in 3D, or else the experience just isn't complete.
It's a visual delight, and the story is not compromised in anyway. There's definitely an Avengers 2 coming(don't walk out even when the credits are rolling), and we have Iron Man 3, Thor 2 & even Captain America 2 planned for...So it's just the beginning of what could be one of the best superhero franchises ever....
I'm going with 3.5 out of 5 for The Avengers!!!!!Watch it in 3D!!!!!!
Keep reeling!!!
