The Avengers unites Captain America (Chris Evans),
Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.),
Thor (Chris Hemsworth),
and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)
with S.H.I.E.L.D members Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson),
Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner),
Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg),
Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson)...
...and the pleasant addition of Agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders). <3
The stellar all-star cast is just the tip of the iceberg – juggling each character’s personality, screen time and not to mention cast ego is a superhuman feat in itself, yet some how Josh Whedon has done the impossible.
When Thor’s adopted brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) brings forth catastrophe to our planet with the help of the Chitauri and a stolen Tesseract, it’s up to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to save the day.
Character interaction and banter is no doubt the highlight of The Avengers. As seen from their individual movies, each are heavyweights of their own and it shows as they fight among themselves as much as they do against baddies. However it’s when they manage to finally work together that the magic truly starts.
A huge fan-boy himself, Whedon has done a ‘Marvel’-lous job, combining four successful superhero franchises while pleasing both fans and newcomers alike. Despite the large ensemble cast, each gets their chance to shine without feeling forced.

The actors do a wonderful job in their roles, especially Rufallo who makes an excellent Bruce Banner. A surprise though, is the amount of laughs this movie presents, which will leave you in stitches.
Needless to say, the action is second to none and trust me you’ll have your jaws wide open through many scenes. From S.H.I.E.L.D’s signature Helicarrier (fan-boys rejoice!)...
...to the destruction of New York City, The Avengers will bring back memories of that unforgettable first viewing of Transformers.
The money shot I believe, would be a glorious single-take where you have the camera sweeping from one hero to another while each battle hordes of oncoming alien invaders – all in glorious 3D.

While it isn't compulsory to catch all five Marvel Cinematic Universe films prior to The Avengers, it would however, make the overall experience more satisfying as there are bits and pieces in reference to earlier events.
So go pick the cinema with the best 3D and sound, as The Avengers is truly summer entertainment at its finest!
