Review: The Avengers

The Avengers: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848228/

The Avengers is rated Worth It.

SPOILERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS!

I liked this movie. It took the other Marvel movies that have come out in the last 5 years (Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor) and tied them together in one movie. The plot is more-or-less what you would expect: Loki from Thor steals the plot macguffin, and is working with aliens to take over the Earth, so Samuel L Jackson gets the heroes from the other Marvel movies together to stop him. Initially, the heroes don't trust each other (of course) or Samuel L. Jackson (he working for a government agency called Shield, and they were using the plot macguffin to make weapons) but they overcome that and defeat the alien invasion at the end of the movie.

The movie felt a little rushed in places, especially towards the big alien fight, and they glossed over certain things. But these can be forgiven, as A: this is a mindless action movie, and B: this is based of a comic book. These kind of liberties are often taken in these mediums.

The special effects are up to par with the other Marvel movies, and the fighting was pretty good. The also plot wasn't to bad. Also, there were no real slow parts in the movie.

Overall, Worth It.
