Best Avengers Review Ever

Okay, here’s the deal.  Almost everyone who wants to see The Avengers either has seen it or will see it soon.  Those who don’t want to see it either don’t care for comic book movies or dislike one or more of the actors in the film.  No big deal, I’m pretty sure this film is going to make so many ridiculous millions of dollars that they won’t notice.

            What I’m going to do is give the quickest, best review out there.

            *ahem*

            The Avengers stars all the returning heroes (except Bruce Banner/The Hulk, who is now played by Mark Ruffalo).  Thy must now ‘assemble’ to stave off the threat of Loki and his army.  They are also aided by S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner).  Everyone gives a decent or above performance, with Scarlett Johansson giving the most awkward one based on my complete lack of knowledge of The Black Widow, and Tom Hiddleston steals every scene he’s in as Loki.

            Though other movies will quite probably be ‘better’ this summer, The Avengers has already won the award for Best Blockbuster Action Film of 2012.  While The Dark Knight Rises will be a more emotional, brutal superhero movie, it won’t come close to the sheer spectacle and action of this one.  In the other direction, I’m sure Battleship will have more action, but it won’t be anywhere near as well put together.

            Also, if you haven’t seen it yet and still plan on going, here’s your advice:  IT IS A FREAKING MARVEL MOVIE.  THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING AFTER THE CREDITS.  I mean it.  Even if there’s something in the middle of the credits (which there is), there will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be something after the credits.

Done.
