Movie Review: Marvel's The Avengers

We've been waiting for Marvel's The Avengers since last year after watching Thor (see previous entry).   I'm glad all the hype and anticipation was rewarded.

Marvel's The Avengers is jam-packed with action from start to finish.  The effects were awesome.  However, it is expected that not all the members gained the same amount of limelight just the same as in the comics.  The so called trinity of Ironman by Robert Downey Jr., Captain America by Cris Evans and Thor by Chris Hemsworth gained more focus in the movie.  It was the right move because they are the crowd favorites.  Hawk Eye by Jeremy Renner and Black Widow by Scarlett Johansson also made a great debut.  The Hulk's new actor Mark Ruffalo gave the character a bit more character.  The movie also did not fail to make us laugh.  The jokes were surprisingly witty and unexpected.

The Marvel tradition continues as there is again an appearance by Stanley Chi near the end of the movie.  I wouldn't exactly call the teaser after-credits this time because it was shown in the middle the the credits.  But, I certainly look forward to the next movie!

Watch Marvel's The Avengers!
