The Avengers Review

Starring Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downing Jr., Chris Evans, Jeremy Ronin, Scarlette Johannson, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and featuring Samuel L. Jackson

Definitely worth seeing.  I, unfortunately, was late to the 3D version, though the 2D version was still great.

Downing's Iron Man (Tony Stark) was, of course, amazing and witty.  He is going to be remembered for this (and other Iron Man) Marvel Movie(s).  He definitely took a beating, but always stood up with a smart-ass comment up his sleeve.  (His Black Sabbath T-Shirt sleeve, that is... Nice going costume dept.)

 Ruffalo's Dr. Bruce Banner was just adorable... an unexpected yet great choice on the casting departments part. I am a fan of Mark Ruffalo's and thought he was wonderful... though it wasn't surprising the way he played the Hulk... it was very 'classicly Ruffalo'.  I will say that the chemistry between Ruffalo and Downing was a nugget of awesome that improved some scenes.

Evans is amazing as Capt. America aka Captain Steve Rogers (though I may be biased since he is in my top three Marvel heroes). Though (as Stark comments) everything special came out of a tube, implying the whole lab super soldier thing, he has a heart that is, in itself, super.  The cap's mortality was tested, but death is of course no match for the epic shield he holds.

Ronin was wonderful... I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised by what I found.  Having never seen Ronin's work before, his portrayal of Hawk Eye was satisfying... He has a new fan!

Johannson was good, one of her best parts actually.  I'm not a huge fan of her's, but it was definitely a great portrayal of the Black Widow.  She was emotional when needed, but of course stone-cold at other points.  She is a dynamic actress within this part for sure.

Hemsworth's acting left something to be desired.  His Thor was god-like for sure, but he needed to be more sentimental... especially when the line had the word in it.  He didn't bring the movie as a whole down, but some scenes where slightly awkward because his humorous lines just didn't click with me.

The Villain was the icing on the cake!  Tom Hiddleston was just fabulous as Loki (brother of Thor).  The scene between The Incredible Hulk and Loki was hilarious, however short it may have been.  Hiddleston was a main factor in contributing to the sheer awesome of the film.

(and Samuel L. Jackson used his bad-assery skills so many times as Nick Fury.)

SEE THIS FILM! I'll give it and B+ in comparison to recent movies, but an A+ when it comes to Super Hero Flicks.
