“There
was an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people, so when we needed
them, they could fight the battles that we never could”
My
two youngest brothers are obsessed with superhero movies. My brother Anthony
can go on and on about The Dark Night
for days and how he cannot wait for The
Dark Knight Rises. My youngest brother Christian owns all the superhero
movies you can name. For days before the release of The Avengers, he and my parents watched Thor, Captain America, The Hulk, and Iron Man. As for me I have only ever sat through bits and pieces of
these films when Christian watches them upstairs in the family room I have
never sat through the entire films. It is not that I do not want to see them I do
but it takes time to sit through those movies and they are not high on my list
of movies to see. But I had to see The
Avengers it looked really good and besides, I now work in a movie theater I
felt it my duty to see it so I can tell customers how it is if they ask (also
it does not hurt that I get to see the movies for basically nothing).
I
really liked The Avengers. The action
was nonstop and it was just very good. All the characters are so well written
and incredibly acted by the cast. It was interesting to see how Loki who was from
Thor was the main bad guy who the
Avengers were trying to stop.
The
cast was perfect. Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man was my favorite. Downey is such
a great actor he makes acting seem so effortless. He truly makes you believe he
is the character he completely made Iron Man/Tony Stark his own. Mark Ruffalo
was wonderful as The Hulk/Bruce Banner. The Hulk actually got some of the
funniest scenes of the movie. Tom Hiddleston as Loki was truly the best
performance of the film. Hiddleston was unbelievable he had such a psychotic
sinister look to him that was perfect for this maniacal bad guy. Scarlett
Johanson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye were ok I was not too
thrilled with their characters but they also did an excellent job. Samuel L. Jackson
was badass as Nick Fury. I liked seeing Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill. I do
not watch her in How I Met Your Mother
but I know it is a funny show and I know her character is a little nutty from
what some friends have told me so to see her in a bit of a serious roll was
interesting.
I
did not give a plot because this movie is too good to give anything away and
whatever I would have to say about the plot would just give too much away. The Avengers is an all around greatly
made movie. It is more CGI than anything else which I really do not like but I
can forgive that here because it is a superhero movie and completely
unrealistic. I liked everything about it from the story, the cast, the
direction just everything. The Avengers
is a movie for the whole family to enjoy. Whenever I work I see entire families
coming in with old and young members. Just today I saw a little girl with an
Avengers shirt on, it was her birthday and she chose to see the movie. There is
a reason The Avengers has already made a billion dollars world wide- it is one
of the best action/superhero films to come out in the past few years. Now I
have to sit through Iron Man, Thor, The Hulk, and Captain America
and I cannot wait.
