THE REVIEW:

HALLELUJAH! Its what we have all been waiting for in the cinema. April is here & the countdown is finally over. Marvel Studios are ready to stop hugging these superheros and show us what they have been keeping from the world. The Avengers assemble and boy do they assemble. This is one amazing movie and brilliant adoption of a comic book, YES i said it. From all the action on screen to the geniously placed comedy lines, i just couldn't get enough. I don't think i have ever enjoyed myself so much in 143 minutes. The last time i had half this much fun was watching the third installment of Transformers. I don't say things about films unless it true so believe me when i say "GRAB YOUR 3D GLASSES (should be somewhere in your drawer or underneath the sofa) AND HEAD TO YOUR NEAREST CINEMA"                                                                    

The answer to my own question: "does it get any better than this?" is NO. I don't know how they can out do this film, it just oozes awesomeness. Riddled with famous faces, packed with a script where everyone shines and then had the audacity to showoff  some badass action scenes. Watching multiples Superheros & Gods link up to go bonkers at each other with different fighting styles & in the future technology is exactly what you get here. The special effects set the bar once again for action films and the storyline is so interesting that it just kept on getting better as time flies by. Avengers went in the cinema with the highest of expectations but the way it shines it shuts up any doubter. From the opening scenes the dialogue and cinematography is a joy to marvel at. Silly costumes or not, this is a triumph. Hats off to you Joss Whedon.

Each superhero had their own special moments, these actors/actresses bring life to these characters very well. Robert Downey Jr has the charisma, charm and the funny lines just seem to drop out of his mouth effortlessly. Samuel L. Jackson is a brilliant Nick Fury, he was very believable, he was a leader.Its been what never since i seen a man wear an eye patch and look that cool. I was not biggest fan of Chris Evans solo Captain America: The First Avenger film but after his performance in this film i think he deserves all the credit he can get. The #StarOfTheShow award will have to go to Mike Ruffalo just because of The Hulk. That green monster was the best superhero, so ruthless, so destructive and somehow so entertaining. Scarlett Johansson has always been a beautiful woman, she plays Black Widow. A women who's got the looks and can give out a serious can of whoop ass. She was dangerous and psychological. I for one is very pleased to see actress Cobie Smulders (Robin from How I Met Your Mother) make the billing for this. She was great and i'm sure we will be seeing more of her on the big screen. Tom Hiddleston must not be left without a mention, he was a great evil character who had his own shine in parts of the film. As a collective the cast was on point.

The amounts of money Walt Disnep & Marvel are going to make is going to break a few records, i can tell already.

OVERALL:  WILL BE THE BEST FILM OUT FOR A WHILE.
