HAPPY FRIDAY! AVENGERS ASSEMBLE

@vickyhinault

There has been months and months of hype surrounding the Avengers movie and when it finally got released last week, I naturally headed to go see it ASAP and lets say this… it was phenomenal!

Whilst the storyline is the predictable good vs evil, this is the essence of superhero movies and I went into it knowing what I was going to get, except I got a lot more.

Joss Whedon has done a great job with the Avengers. The characters of Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America and Thor were all resurrected, Hawkeye was on his first proper big screen outing and the Hulk returned in what can only be described as one of the best reincarnations in years. (previous Hulk movies were ok, but Whedon has injected personality and comedy timing to the character of the Hulk which Mark Ruffalo portrays brilliantly.

In fact the entire script is excellent. Its fast pace, quirky one liners and strong characters make it an absolute treat. And that is before we get to the action sequences

.

The coming together of these big personalities was bound to create tension and it is played out in brilliant fight scenes, first amongst themselves and then in a coming together to save the earth.

The special effects are fantastic, not usually one for 3D I indulged on this occasion and I’m pleased I did. It was delivered spectacularly well and really embellished those amazing battle scenes.

Even if superhero movies are not your usual thing I urge you to check this out. Avengers Assemble is the most fun I’ve had at the cinema for ages, and Whedon has miraculously managed to make this full blown, in your face super hero fun, without it being cringeworthy or eye roll inducing.

 Assemble your friends and enjoy, oh and stay for the credits and pray for a sequel!
