I had the pleasure of seeing an advanced screening of MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS last week, and it really is a great movie!
Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Tom Hiddleston, and Samuel L. Jackson, and written and directed by Joss Whedon, MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series The Avengers, which as first published in 1963.
Now don’t get me wrong, when it comes to comic books and super heroes, I am really not a follower, however I did not need to be one to get caught up in this film. It is full of action and humor and does not require a back story in order to enjoy it.
Check out the following trailer:
As soon as the film begins, the observer is immediately thrusted into the action by the appearance of the Alien brother of Thor named Loki (Tom Hiddleston). And you guessed it, he is a bad guy and up to no good with world domination ideas. Destruction then follows Loki’s path, from now until the conclusion of the film.
However humans are lucky, because even through some reluctance, the cast of Heroes including Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlotte Johansson) are brought together by the Director of SHIELD, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), to fight against this bad guy.
Keep in mind though it is not just an action flick, there is comedy intertwined through out, and great moments between Iron Man and the Hulk, The Hulk and Thor, and especially this scene with the Black Widow, that made its appearance towards the beginning of the film.
