Marvel needs no introduction.
Those who grew up in 70’s, 80’s and 90’s read and watched comics and cartoons
produced by Marvel and those whose childhood belongs to 2000 must have watched
some amazing movies produced by them. It is simply close to impossible to
create a master piece again and again; this is the reason why most of the
sequels flop at the box office. But I simply don’t know what formula lies with
Marvel, from Hulk (2003) to The Avengers (2012), they continue to provide the
best of experience to their audiences, including, Iron Man (2008/10), Thor
(2011) and Captain America (2011). They are definitely the entertainers.
It was not a piece of cake to get
all the superheroes together in any movie just like that. After all, screen
play, plot, logic and script have to be extraordinary for making them stand
shoulder to shoulder. Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures bang on the perfect
script in which they united the amazing team of Superheroes as well as they grab
the right cast. The story revolves around how the director of S.H.I.E.L.D, Nick
Fury (performed by Samuel L. Jackson), gathers a team of all super heroes
including, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor
(Chris Hemsworth) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) along with Black Widow (Scarlett
Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) to fight against Loki (Tom Hiddleston)
who plays Thor’s father’s adopted son and threats Nick Fury to demolish the
peace on earth and rule it. As Loki, just like Thor is not a human and
possesses super natural powers and army there has to be super heroes against
this God of evils.
The movie brings surprises in
many ways, the interaction between all the characters whether in their super
heroic attires or common suits is first-rate. The dialogues between Tony Stark
and Captain America gives you many reason to smile and clap at many places (off
the record, I managed to whistle as well). The action sequences of Hulk were
worth watching again and again, just to note the expressions and daredevil
stunts. Thor’s entry is a treat to watch and the complete scene is remarkable,
how Thor (The God of Thunder), Iron Man and Captain America try to show their
strengths – simply bravura. Samuel L. Jackson gets a much lengthy role this
time, unlike Iron Man 2’s role, and he simply proves his excellence with his
performance, be it the beginning of the movie, communiqué with Loki and post
interval. Same goes for Scarlett Johansson, she is fast and a nice element
included in the movie – it is a difficult task to get noticed as a normal human
in the movie studded by superheroes. This time Hulk is much civilized, well you
may say that, he knows how to control his rage and Mark Ruffalo perfectly
portrays a role, am sure audience will love him over the previous Hulk(s). The
only character from THE Avengers who under-performs (I am not saying that he
has not performed well) is Hawkeye. In such movies where there are so many
heroes it is really difficult for the villain to stand out but Tom Hiddleston
as Loki excels and performs a role that is tailor-made for him. He looks
comfortable and cold blooded both at the same time.
Like all the scenes and sequences
the climax is also directed very well by Joss Whedon. Characterization is
strong, script is clap-worthy and there are many other surprises “action wise”.
It is undoubtedly a Super Movie brought to its audience by a team of Super
Heroes, called The Avengers. Watch this movie in Cinema, it is worth
experiencing.
Rating: 9/10
