OK, so I have to tell you about this. Firstly, I’ve not read the comics, I don’t know about the history, I only know about the films.

Avengers Assemble

Now, I loved THOR, CAPTAIN AMERICA, IRONMAN and THE INCREDIBLE HULK was good, but not as good as the other three. I loved the build of each character, how they were made or where they came from. But, on to THE AVENGERS!

Firstly, I knew this was from Joss Wehdon whom I love as a director, he tells an original story and he knows how to direct the action without over complicating things. And he’s not ‘clichéd’ with his work, he always tried to break the mould and do something different.

I thought that all the characters in the movie would all hate each other and then learn to get along and work as a team by the end! But no, this wasn’t the case. Each member of the team had to be assembled individually, and when they all met up for the first time, some of them became instant friends (which I’m not going to say why, coz it will spoil the story). But this was so much better than the usually ‘enemies become best friends’ type of story.

Thor and Cpt. America

The story itself in a nut shell is : Loki (Thor’s bother) wants to take over the world, The Avengers have to stop him. There’s a LOT more to the story, but I’ll let you find that out if you go and see it. The overall story is great! Gripping until the last, and, again, not to spoil anything but one of the main actors dies! This was a shock, but a welcome one, but again, see it to see who.

The music, by Alan ‘Back to the Future’ Silvestry was good, but not great, there was nothing that memorable, but it certainly didn’t take anything away from the film.

The CGi is incredible, at no point did you look at something and think ‘Ah, that looks fake’, not even the Hulk, who was all CG.

Which brings me onto my ‘man of the movie’, the Hulk. Obviously, you don’t see an awful lot of him, since he’s an unstoppable rage machine, but, when you do see him, you see the unstoppable rage machine! But, he’s also tempered with a bit of humour, like Banner is still in there somewhere, pulling the strings! In fact, in a few places, Hulk makes you laugh out loud…but I’m not going to say where.

The Hulk

All in all, I loved it and I need to see it again, to see the story again, to laugh again and to just be wowed by the overall thing!

And yes, I know I had news today, I have…but I’m going to post it later, I just wanted to have a separate post for this, since it was amazing!
