If there was ever a way to start off a very promising blockbuster summer, The Avengers was a proper way to do it. If there are any movie/Marvel skeptics out there, it takes a lot of stubborn ignorance to deny the marvel (Oh lulz I get it!) of what has been accomplished here. Starting in 2008 as a vague idea that may or may not form came a movie with so much star power and ambition that it was easy to dismiss this as an action-oriented ‘Valentine’s Day’ that had so many A-listers that each one would eventually be fighting for star power and screen time. Not only this, but there are 60 years of myth-lore and a rabid fan base that had to be dealt with for this movie to be successful.
It’s almost amazing how it all turned out. In 4 years, Marvel meticulously planned in each of their corresponding movies how they would set up this behemoth. Without these previous movies, character development of these famed heroes would be lost. So after countless infamous post-credit cut scenes in The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America, Joss Whedon delivered what was thought to be the impossible. A coherent, action-packed, well-written 2 and a half hour ride that perfectly balances its down to Earth heroes and deliciously evil villain despite an ambitiously star-studded cast. Slight spoilers.
