Marvel’s The Avengers has been a comic book movie in the making for many years. So many in fact that some felt the movie just barely delivered while others proclaimed it an instant classic. In the aftermath of the movie, the majority of viewers gave it rave reviews but were there concepts that could have been better? Certainly. It came down to the details and unfortunately, no movie is perfect in that regard, not even The Avengers.

1- Stronger Loki

Loki, as many fans of Thors brother will know, got the short end of the stick in terms of displaying power during the movies he’s been featured in already. The Avengers carried on the tradition of making him a mystical power that used indirect attacks to great effect.  He carried Dr. Selvig and Hawkeye into the night as his henchmen but apart from that he displayed little power or leadership skills.

If fans are indeed to be believed that he can fight on equal par with any of the Avengers in a one on one fight then perhaps including more apt displays of physical prowess would have been advantageous. Instead The Avengers leave big and bad Loki limping off into the abyss again, bound for Asgardian Justice with nothing to show for his efforts except a partially ruined city.

2-Stronger invading army, less mindless drones

In the original Avengers Lore, the Chitauri were being commanded by Loki as they were invading earth but apparently marvel decided they weren’t going to need a key power that make the Chitauri so devastating. In the Marvel universe Chitauri have had super strength, stamina, exceptional regeneration abilities and shapeshifting skills as well.

In The Avengers movie however, the Chitauri are reduced to mindless clone trooper type drones, with barely any variety between the combat types and nearly zero intelligence. Led in a hive mind style of leadership, these enemies are a pale imitation of what they should have been. Loki’s power already needed work but on top of his lack of command skills it makes the opponents for The Avengers seem more like an army of plastic men than a cohesive invasion force.

3-Missing logic trains.

Loki makes the move to separate and divide The avengers by using Hulk’s semi-controllable anger. If this is true, then why is it so easy for the Avengers to reunite just in the nick of time to save the planet for a hostile alien invasion. Loki does very little to actually separate The Avengers except having two of them fall out of the sky while he escapes prison.

The ease or difficulty with which Bruce Banner rejoins the Avengers even in the midst of a hostile takeover of New York City isn’t shown to fans. Worse is that the motorbike he rides into Manhattan had better be able to teleport or else there is no way that the Hulk who fell out of the Sky would be able to make it to New York City minutes after he landed.

Not to mention the part where Tony Stark redirects a nuclear missile into an alien space vacuum that has no atmosphere in which to power a rocket or the resulting explosion. An atmosphere of some kind is necessary in order for combustion to take place to the destructive degree of destroying a space armada.  A nuclear missile that was probably designed to flatten a civilian city at sea level would have a much reduced affect when detonated in zero gravity space.

4- Where was the U.S Military?

Unlike the multitude of movies that have come out in the last few years, the U.S military had a less than primary presence in this film. Past Marvel movies have featured the use of aircraft as well as other military vehicles to supplement the lack of existing man power. Iron Man 1 and 2 the U.S was still featured within the film as a strong forceful entity and yet in The Avengers, this is a less than stellar performance for Uncle Sam and his troops.

Certianly, S.H.I.E.L.D is a military organization, the best of the best and so forth. Yet for all the neat toys that Nick Fury controls, where were the immediate response teams to an alien invasion fans may ask. All of these tools at their displosal and the shadowed elite controlling S.H.I.E.L.D sat back and waited. Apart from one big nuclear missile that Iron Man was able to redirect since it apparently lacked a proximity charge of any kind, there wasn’t much that the actual military itself did.

5- Are all superheroes created equal?

There is a fight scene between Iron Man and Thor the alludes to future collaborative powers that comes to fruition near the end of the movie. That said, why did it feel like every punch from Thor, Iron Man or Captain America seem to look the same? Despite the angle of the shots, as well done as they were, each punch was the same. Each superhero has their own powers naturally so Thor swinging his hammer does indeed look different than Captain America swinging his shield but the results are annoyingly similar. There was an action and a reaction, but no real affect to the invading enemies at all.

As many fans discovered, Captain America had a lot of spirit but not a lot of spotlight. Not really. Yes Steve Rogers was a hero and yes he is an iconic character but in the aftermath of the Avengers craze Cap got left behind. His ability to lead was put to the test, highlighted by his gaining command of a team of NYPD officers. However he got blown out of the water by Iron Man. Towards the end of the movie, Iron Man was not only the decisive cause of victory but also led the enemies around in circles so that the other Avengers could attack them. It was Iron Man rather than Captain America who rallied the Avengers and it was Iron Man who spoke for The Avengers against Loki.

Marvel’s The Avengers has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action throughout, and a mild drug reference.

Didn’t watch the movie? Do not read ahead.

‘The Avengers’ features some of the most iconic superheroes and villains in Marvel Comic history. A movie featuring Iron Man by himself in 2008 earned major bucks at the box office, but combining this many movie stars into a movie was either a recipe for disaster or one of the hugest comic book movies of all time. Luckily, the vote swings in favor of big, bold, and sometimes green, Hulkish superheroes.

The Incredible Hulk, after having been in two modern feature films, could have come off as campy and tired. Instead, actor Mark Ruffalo adds depth and realistic tired anger to the film.

The Hulk does indeed smash his way through the movie, having two of the most hilarious scenes in superhero movie history that fans are sure to remember for a very long time. Redeemed in a way, both Ruffalo and The Hulk make a great team for The Avengers, succeeding where the other two iterations of the Hulk did not. Equal parts giant-rage monster and alien-army-repelling bloodhound.

With Robert Downey Jr. throwing down his Iron-Man-sized ego into the mix, he is bound to offend someone. In point of fact, Iron Man easily offends everyone in some backhanded compliment throughout the entire movie. Downey’s portrayal is top notch, once again providing the levity in moments of higher action and violence. Between him and Samuel L. Jackson, these two veteran actors bring a versatile skill set of attitude mixed with subzero-cool superhero power.

Make no mistake, though human he may be, Nick Fury is not above getting his hands dirty and taking command whenever and wherever necessary to get the job done. Jump out of a flaming helicopter? Done. Use an RPG against a fifth-generation, multimillion-dollar stealth aircraft? Done.

If that was not enough to quantify his serious level of cool, he is the captain of what must be the most advanced aircraft carrier in recent human technology. Real and in development or imagined from the film makers, Nick Fury has some of the coolest toys around town. Ask Captain America, who now owes the Director of Shield 10 bucks on a bet.

Captain America, arguably the oldest character in the entire movie, exhibits a confused character that is in keeping with his lost-in-time motif. Played by Chris Evans, there are moments where fans will genuinely believe that Captain America should never be allowed around a computer. Still, Captain America is the peacekeeper among them, keeping the fights from escalating as tempers flair.

In terms of tempers flaring, Thor, brother of Loki, is easily the most outwardly angry man on earth. Proven to be on par in strength with The Hulk, Chris Hemsworth continues his lightening-powered quest to bring his brother back to Asgard and administer justice. Hemsworth, speaking in the Middle English style, is mocked early on, but does indeed bring valuable skills to the coming invasion through Loki’s treachery.

His story is tied intrinsically to Loki’s, and to that of earths survival, since Thor landed on the third rock from the sun. The movie highlights their shared past, but does little to try and bring the two together beyond a certain point.

Loki, played by Tom Hiddleton, returns in his role as the bitter and jealous brother of Thor’s prominence in their home world of Asgard. Loki sets his sights upon the earth as a kingdom for which he would rule. Indeed, his greed and lust for power make his motives easily decipherable.

Loki’s character seems to prize showmanship and trickery, and while that is a good thing, he has little in the way of true superpower. He seems easily beatable by himself and even allows himself to be captured. Perhaps Loki is a little too open in some ways, as even his brilliant mind is tricked by The Black Widow during a brief interrogation.

Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as The Black Widow a.k.a. Agent Romanov, the sexy, Russian assassin. As one of the few women featured in this film, she holds her own early on, with a mind as sharp and a beauty as deadly as any of the male Avengers. In truth, there are moments when her skills are put to the test, using her brains-over-brawn approach to getting things done.

Things like being human does not stop this skilled fighter as she gives a beat down while tied to a chair, hijacks an alien air bike, or gives a friend-turned-enemy a “cognitive recalibration”.

Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner, is seemingly the only character not seen in very many of Marvel’s movies at all. He is the least known of the Avengers, but makes his role count just as much as some of the bigger and more fanciful stars in the film. Deadly accurate with a bow, Hawkeye is ensnared into Loki’s trap early on and forced to fight for his life alongside his fellow Avengers.

Perhaps the unsung hero of many Marvel films is Agent Phil Coulson played brilliantly by Clark Gregg. In many of the movies, he is Nick Fury’s right-hand man and makes the greatest sacrifice to save the world. It is his actions that make it personal for the Avengers as they seek to destroy Loki. His quiet confidence mixed in with deadpan commentary has remained a constant source of entertainment for fans, and it is this reason that he is a very welcome addition to The Avengers film.

In all ways, the actors and actresses for this movie do a more than commendable job of filling their roles as some of the greatest and most iconic super heroes in comic book history. Leaping off the pages, imagination is given shape by skilled actors proving that a comic book movie can not only feature more than one superhero, but can do it successfully as well.

The Avengers is proof that comic book brilliance can be translated into a brilliant movie, so long as the people involved have a singular vision for which to drive towards. Featuring some of the coolest cats in town with an amazingly well-scripted dialogue and plausible team dynamics, this marvel movie is sure to elevate the genre in many ways.

Didn’t watch the movie? Do not read ahead.

“Avengers Assemble!” The iconic phrase has been bandied about since ‘The Avenger’ comics first came out in the early 1960s. Brought to real life, the movie is nothing that Marvel has ever made, throwing this many A-list actors into one giant bowl of ego. After months and months of hype, commercials, and TV spots, the time has come upon Marvel to put their money where their mouth is.

In the aftermath of this movie, it is safe to say that Marvel has done an exceedingly great job of it. Quite possibly, movie-filming history is about to be made once again with 2012′s ‘The Avengers‘.

The plot is not entirely new, though. Throw a bunch of superheroes with tempers who hate each other together, make them work through heartfelt sacrifice, and they will invariably fail before rising to the occasion just before the end of the film, leaving a massive cliffhanger. That said, the film wins not because of the seemingly average plot, but with the actors doing a phenomenal job of becoming larger than life.

Whether your favorite is The Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, or Nick Fury, you will cheer all the way through this excellently crafted movie. Director and nerd cult icon Joss Whedon took this film and elevated it to a near art form. The script is so excellently executed that lines from this movie will be quoted for a very long time to come. Easily the best Marvel film to date, the camera techniques involved to get just the right shots took the hand of a true artist.

Whether tumbling through the air in a cage or in the shattered remains of a car, the viewer feels a part of the action at every turn. Scene after scene, fans join in the experience of The Avengers in an ever active way. Following Iron Man as he falls out of the sky is a singular experience as you watch him strap on armor mid-flight. The technology in this movie is so out of this world that the real military can only wish to have some of these things in their hands.

Not only are there no boring moments in the film, but there also appears to be no shortage of superhero slug fests. Imagine Thor getting sucker-punched by Hulk, imagine Iron Man getting in Captain America’s face. Think again as Loki’s words affect his enemies, nearly exceeding the level of nonchalant violence inspired by Darth Vader. These are the images that fans walk away with as they exit the movie.

Fans remember the moments when Hulk saves a life or when Thor calls down lightening. They remember the cheer of the room as Nick Fury blows up a plane or as Black Widow takes out a team of Russian operatives while being interrogated by their general. These are the cheers of fans rooting for their heroes to succeed, to believe that good will prevail.

More than just the sum of its parts, the Avengers initiative takes a selective group of people from all walks of life with extraordinary powers and pits them against the greatest evil that mankind has ever faced (at least until the next movie). Loki’s jealous streak is hopefully at an end as he is administered justice. Both his former allies and his newest enemies seek to punish him for his deeds against earth. So, it seems that a new enemy has arisen, one that even Loki fears.

The points of contention are few and far between, such as the power of Loki’s staff and the exactness required for him to run his mind-control trick. Another is that though Hulk and Thor are the same strength, the cage they use for Hulk is apparently strong enough to hold Hulk, but not Thor. Perhaps the Hammer of Thor helps, but these are minor points to argue in the face of a movie that has so much potential packed into its limited time frame.

Excellently crafted and delightfully enjoyable, The Avengers is a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-superhero-pants movie as moment after moment of action occurs. Even moments of pure speech without violence are tailor made towards not only the characters from the comics, but the characters that the actors have become.

It seems near impossible to imagine the actors being any different than they are, the roles so iconic that they will forever be known for these roles by fans worldwide. In an instant, movie history has been made with The Avengers quite possibly setting new box office records. A much anticipated film just in time for school to let out, The Avengers is a film that no one will want to miss this Friday, May 4.

Score: 5/5
