Movie Review - The Avengers (2012)

Thus how do you cause a threat to a demigod, a supersoldier, a man in an indestructible metal suit and a hulking inexperienced juggernaut? Well, you actually cannot. But with a surplus of loud explosions, large battles, and limitless CG effects you'll feign the correct amount of journey to appease fans of such monumental clashes between smart and evil. The Avengers keeps the ideas easy enough, but piles on so a lot of mayhem it can become wearisome to those not previously invested in its subjects and willing to readily believe in the delirious events transpiring on screen. If you're not cheering by the point our gang of superheroes takes down a large mechanical area worm, you almost certainly knew a long time ago this movie wasn't for you.

As Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and the agents of the secret military agency S.H.I.E.L.D. attempt to harness the facility of the extraterrestrial energy source called the Tesseract, the villainous exiled demigod Loki (Tom Hiddleston) returns to Earth to steal it. Along with the cube, Loki brainwashes and kidnaps assassin Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) and scientist Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard) to aid in his devious plot to beat all of humanity. To combat this new threat, Fury reinstitutes his scrapped "Avengers" initiative and sets concerning gathering together the globe's greatest heroes - Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson).

The posing, evil grimacing to denote villainy, and arsenal of one-liners are at an all-time high within the Avengers, which works to assemble a cluster of superheroes that constantly compete for screen time, one-upmanship, and the last laugh. The humor is really overdone, poking fun the least bit of the characters and things to the purpose that audiences can most likely question that absurdities they must be taking seriously. And that is detrimental in an exceedingly film overflowing with fantastical silliness, both visually and from dialogue. It's dangerous enough that despite gods and alien worlds, the extremely advanced technology continues to be unbelievable - and that jargon like gamma signature, thermonuclear, quantum, fusion, and cognitive recalibration sound therefore ludicrously forced for the sake of convincing viewers that the Avengers' instruments are beyond general comprehension.

Although it's not quite a sequel, it still solely feels appropriate to measure it up to films like Transformers three, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Iron Man two, Superman Returns and the like. It's not as mind-numbingly nonsensical as a few of the aforementioned titles, but it doesn't look or feel original, and therefore the abundance of computer graphics and overwhelming destruction produce nonstop spectacle without substance. Never once is there any real peril; this is often made upsettingly apparent with the inclusion of non-superheroes Black Widow and Hawkeye, who are simply too drastically inferior to go up against international catastrophes initiated by intergalactic alien wargods. With a complete lack of definition for the various powers exhibited by the antagonists and protagonists alike, their massive demolition of Manhattan and battling one another for the title of "toughest superhero" suggests that very very little. They may yet all be invincible. No villain is formidable enough and no force threatening enough for these cartoonish CG-inundated extravagances to be sympathetic.
