"Renner does a decent job as Hawkman"

 

[Musty002]

The first review from movieweb in case the site deletes it


'When you come to a project on a big scale as this, you have to breakdown on how you analytically approach it, especially when you have a reputation and everything is at stake' zipped Whedon. After a rip-roaring exclusive sneak preview aligned with the world premiere, entitled Shield's Secret Screenings.

The Avengers sets down straight after Captain America with Cap still trying to regain himself in the world as well as the rest of the crew of The Avengers doing what they do best, saving the world. Of course all of these little sneaky end of credit sequences all tie-in to this spectacular flick, like appetisers to the final course. But when an unknown enemy emerges. Its comes to the hands of Nick Fury to ensemble 'The Avengers Initiative.' When the world would need its saviours and heroes fighting one by one and side by side as THE AVENGERS ASSEMBLE as they head on to take down the villanious godlike tyrant that is LOKI... and his got an army...but we have a Hulk.

Now I really don't need to inform you of the spectacular acting capabilities at hand here, when you know the crew that have assembled. Every character has remained the same as they were in their solo installments. Tony Stark is still the playboy millionaire with a cheek and a devilish way of words that roar the audience in laughter. Steve Rogers is still trying to maintain himself from his cryo-statis and trying to regain himself in the world and figuring out his destiny. Thor is still Thor, and this is my favourite character of the duo, not just because Chris is a personal friend, but I just love his take on the character. Alas yes Renner does a decent job as Hawkman and Scarlett looks bootylicious and ready to kick ass, and despite the glamour to the superhero ensemble she has a fiery determined character. BUT and this is the HULKSMASH BUT... the film is stolen by its newest cast member to the fantastic superhero ensemble, Mark Ruffalo who finally brings THE HULK the fans have died for and awaited so long for, he overshadows Ferringo, smashes through Bana and leave Ed with nothing but a Norton... The Hulk in simple detail is the show stealer, and is just an extravaganza of destruction.

As we have praised Nolan for his transformation of DC's universe of Batman... Joss Whedon returns to define he is the equivalence of the Marvel universe and creates the most spectacular Marvel film ever made, which will now stand as the example for every Marvel film set for the future as, TDK has set the standards for the superhero film. Joss Whedon has created an orgy of superhero extravaganza for your eyes to feast on. The*action
*is out of this world.*

"This is something big and this is what we have all been working for... Myself and the rest of my fellow merry men, and to be part of that is just amazing, its a piece of film history in itself. Marvel are creating a franchise and a universe with its film universe much like they did with the comics." stated Tony Stark. Avengers is a piece of film history not only was I able to catch up with Tony Stark but a variety of other characters including the duo of godlike brothers Thor and Loki. "While we have yet to see the film, but we had a massive amount of fun on set and just listen to that energy, My god that is a roar of fans and that's what makes this moment worth everything" while Loi interjected stating "it really doesn't get any better than this." While having a snag chat "Loki believes he can bring some form of world peace by making the world grovel at his knees, he wasn't that badass in Thor, this shows what his truly capable of."*

As well I had to catch up with Chris who said "Its amazing, Joss really gets down to it, there is even a scene with the team dealing with problematic issues but you know obviously Thor has to lay down the law," as we winked off to sign autographs...While Chris Evans talked about Cap 2 with me, it is sounding interesting none to say the least and I thoroughly enjoyed Cap's first outing. But I had to catch all three peas in a pod to grill them. "Playing Nick Fury, his like Marvel's equivalent to Bond's M. but its amazing because your playing a character that you were the foundation for and that makes it all the more special, you get me." Before I could sink my teeth into the genius that is Joss Whedon, before me stood another genius, which our conversation started with the local phrase "Excelsior, young chap. This is truly remarkable and I don't think I've ever seen so much energy by the fans and this is truly something exhilarating."

"It's similar to making a comic but its just more visual and you have more frames, but when you approached a project as big as this, you have to break it down" the ginger genius said with glee. "It more than a movie its a continuation with a conclusion to continue the next array of marvel flicks. So essentially this is what the previous films have been so climatically built up to and we have to go all out. In which my history with Marvel is what got me here and Favereau's recommendation, since he turned it down. But apparently I was the fans favourite and I believe we have given the movie the fans deserve and desire."

Visually Avengers Assemble is a visual extravagance of pure orgy and climatic battle with some spectacular set pieces that would make Michael Bay grovel at the feet of Loki. The action sequences get better and better and the final sequence is exactly how a epic sequence should be utilising the power of today's effects with the visual glory of the mind of Whedon. The scene's just heighten to an amount of tension that will leave any fan boy excited to ultimate satisfaction, especially once the Hulk gets involved.

In overall Avengers Assemble is by far the most spectacular superhero ever made in terms of a visual extravagance, and is truly something that has been worth waiting for and its the Marvel equivalence to Nolan's Batman. In final words prepare for something that is truly indescribable as your theatres roars in applause... Joss Whedon has officially created every fan boy's dream.

Whedon even acknowledged that he took out the scene between Steve and Peggy, so I'm not sure why the lack of Thor and Jane is surprising.

 

[Spideyfan93]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

[TheVileOne]

So is Amanda Rhighetti actually in the movie or did that turn out to be false?

 

[TheVileOne]

Whedon even acknowledged that he took out the scene between Steve and Peggy, so I'm not sure why the lack of Thor and Jane is surprising.

Was that scene ever filmed though or just written? I imagine it was cut before they filmed it.

 

[Chewy]

It's just a fan review

 

[Shadowlord X]

AWESOME!!!!!!!

I'm confused though. At first I thought that reviews were embargoed till the 16th of April, then I heard May 2nd, and now this comes out today?!?

 

[Raiden]

Whedon didn't say, but I doubt they filmed it.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

"renner does a decent job as hawkman"

lol

Whedon even acknowledged that he took out the scene between Steve and Peggy, so I'm not sure why the lack of Thor and Jane is surprising.

What? They took out Jane and Thor's scene? I'm boycotting the movie because of this. {sarcasm}

 

[TX85]

Steve&Peggy scene was cut But isn't there still a scene where Steve some how finds out Peggy is still alive?I think it's in the first act and before the gym scene where Furry looks for him!

 

[Jheri Curl]

Embargoing reviews after this weekend is just pointless. There will be hundreds of random people around the country at these fan screenings who will flood spoilers and impressions onto the net by Sunday.

 

[Dr. Sid Jawtug]

I like that it's positive, but that was so poorly written.

Marvels equivalent to the dark knight. t:

 

[TheVileOne]

So what about Amanda Righetti? Any truth to that?

 

[warhorse78]

Natalie Portman as Jane. Jane apparently cameos in the movie, but Bosef says Portman isn't in the movie. Reportedly there was some controversy about Portman not wanting to be in Thor 2, so who knows...

Good. I love Portman, but I did not like her in Thor. It happens sometimes. I love Christian Bale, but I despise him as Batman. I liked him far more in movies like 3:10 to Yuma and Public Enemy.

 

[Hotwire]

I just want to know what the Hell Tony's bracelets actually do!!!

I hate this reviews comparison to tdk/nolanverse.

THE AVENGERS is a real comicbook superhero movie in a comicbook universe.

Nolan basically uses the comics for the characters and his movies are really just crime dramas. Marvel's movies are actually superhero movies. This suits me just fine since I like all of them, just in different ways.

Two thumbs up.

 

[ElMariachi]

Somebody told me that Betty White is playing present day Peggy Carter. Confirm?

Now that would be"Epic"right there!

Exactly. Marvel and even their partners have ALREADY topped and stayed ahead of TDK many times over. It's a silly comparison. The reviewer must be functioning under the false assumption that if he ties everything from the genre to Nolan that people will take him seriously. He failed.
