Review: The Avengers (2012)



It definitely can't get any bigger. The mother of all superhero movies is here. Directed by Joss Whedon of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Toy Story (screenplay) is "The Avengers", one hell of a ride through Hollywood's craziest visual effects studios. Trust me the VFX is bigger and better than Transformers.

Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Black Widow, Thor and Hawkeye team up with S.H.I.E.L.D director Dr. Nick Fury to avenge an attack from an outside world led by Thor's very own step-brother. They save earth from a disaster. They are obviously successfull but "The Avengers" is all about how logically and stylishly they team up and do so.

The success of the movie is a collective effort. An interesting plot, fast moving screen play, deadly special effects and even deadlier cinematography with a little sub-standard background score. The background was the only drawback, so to say.

Scarlett Johansson, Gwneyth Paltrow and Cobie Smulders are a treat to watch. But in such a movie you aren't looking for eye candies. What you want is paisa vasool entertainment and with this comic book flick you are in for a treat.

Music by Alan Silvestri could have been a little better. That is my only complaint. Putting that aside, all other departments score and score well.

Interesting and never before seen angles by Seamus McGravey take you to the edge of your seat and make you watch the movie with full intrigue.

There is nothing to talk against of "The Avengers" so I'm keeping it short so that you don't expect much and go watch the movie. Trust me, you will come out the theatre awestruck.

Rating: 3.5/5

The Avengers: Amazing!
