Likes : i'm not normally impressed with marvel films but this film really impressed me with the way they added humour with the action & style of this film.This film in my mind was just fantastic, Robert Downey Jr. awesome as ever as Tony Stark / Iron Man with he's sarcastic humor & one-liners there is no one else that could play that role better,i love the scene with him & Thor fighting each other surprising that Thor is a god tony held is own against him with the suit they were both evenly matched.Chris Evans now here one role that really suits his acting playing Steve Rogers / Captain America,i love the way he kicks ass with the shield & throws it like a boomerang but i tell that shield he cans can take some serious power hits specially when Thor some lighting to he's hammer & hit the shield knock Thor flying from the shock wave that was awesome.Chris Hemsworth playing Thor is fantastic not only dose he have the look for Thor but he plays it so well,special the fight scene with him & the hulk man that was like clash of the titans tho the hulk is serious strong Thor did hold he own in that fight.The beautiful & sexy Scarlett Johansson playing Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow shield agent,now i like the way they show what she can do in this film because the way she get information is just fantastic special in get what she want from Loki that was funny but you see a side of her from her past that still haunts her i like that because it show a human side to the character of black widow.Jeremy Renner as the sniper with a bow Clint Barton / Hawk-eye,i love this character because he dose have a few one liners that are funny but its he's skills as an archer in one scene he shot an arrow behind him with out looking & hit the target spot on that that skill.Stellan Skarsgård plays the evil god Selvig from a dark world,who has any army that he give to loki to command to get the kasarac from earth so he can rule the universe, now his army is massive special these massive snake like creature that hold soldiers on the side of it,they seriously do a lot of damage to the city. Samuel L. Jackson a legend in the film industry i think playing Nick Fury really dose suit he's level of acting,he like a bad ass agent that wont take crap off anyone.Clark Gregg plays Agent Phil Coulson now i like he's character he had this do things by the book but had this whole new side of him which was funny in this film but i nearly cried with what happens to him because it was such a heart breaking moment.Mark Ruffalo now a lot of people were saying that changing the actor to the character Bruce Banner / The Hulk would ruin the film,well i beg to differ on that because he played it awesomely,the hulk seriously kick ass in this film & even had hes own funny moments as well, two that were my favorites like the scene were the hulk & Thor are one of the massive snake creature fighting this army off then bring it down in the station they both stood there for a second i think what the hulk did was i owe you one because he punch Thor of the creature with a full straight left arm that serious had me laughing my head off, the other one was with Loki when Loki was face to face with the hulk Loki said" I'm a god you punye creature, i can crush you under my feet" that where it got funny hulk just grab him it was like a acme cartoon beaten because Loki got slammed on the floor five times then was put through the floor, the hulk walked off say punye god, i nearly wet my self laughing because all you see is Loki in a crater on the floor whimpering in pain,also they show the superior power that the hulk has when with one punch takes down one of those massive snake creatures.Tom Hiddleston plays loki,now with this film you see more of his darkerside to his character then you saw in Thor,because he was really ruthless in this film.Tell ya Ive never seen a film more entertaining than this film it was so worth watching,the special effect were spot on as well,i think this film was well put together i hope there will be more.Bring on a DC version because it would be amazing as well.

Dislikes : absolutely none what so ever.

Overall : action pack,one liner that make you laugh with some funny scenes,this is one film that doesn't disappoint,well worth watching.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for the funny scene/one liners, 10 out of 10 for action & being an outstanding hero film

  1. I agree with all your points and I'm not a Marvel fan either; the balance between action and comedy was fantastic. Nice review.

    1. see that the thing with marvel,sometime there good & other time the film has be real bad but watch able,i find marvel to be more aim at the young genaration where as DC is more aimed at the adult genaration,i think marvel need to step up its game & make some film for adults,but the avengers was a fantastic film to watch & very funny in place special when the hulk put loki through the floor that had to whole cinema laughing there heads off,you never see that happen offened with a film thats what make this dam good with the balance of homour & action.
