Movie Review - The Avengers (2012)
So 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. However with a surplus of loud explosions, massive battles, and limitless CG effects you can feign the proper amount of journey to appease fans of such monumental clashes between sensible and evil. The Avengers keeps the ideas straightforward enough, however piles on thus abundant mayhem it will become wearisome to those not previously invested in its subjects and willing to readily believe in the delirious events transpiring on screen. If you are not cheering by the time 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. try 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 assist in his devious plot to overcome all of humanity. To combat this new threat, Fury reinstitutes his scrapped "Avengers" initiative and sets about gathering along the world'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 in the Avengers, that works to assemble a group of superheroes that constantly compete for screen time, one-upmanship, and the last laugh. The humor is actually overdone, poking fun the least bit of the characters and things to the point that audiences can in all probability querywhich absurdities they should be taking seriously. And that's detrimental in an exceedingly film overflowing with fantastical silliness, both visually and from dialogue. It's unhealthy enough that despite gods and alien worlds, the very advanced technology remains unbelievable - and that jargon like gamma signature, thermonuclear, quantum, fusion, and cognitive recalibration sound thus ludicrously forced for the sake of convincing viewers that the Avengers' instruments are beyond general comprehension.
Although it is not quite a sequel, it still solely feels applicable to measure it up to films like Transformers 3, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Iron Man 2, Superman Returns and the like. It's not as mind-numbingly nonsensical as some of the aforementioned titles, however it doesn't look or feel original, and therefore the abundance of tricks and overwhelming destruction produce nonstop spectacle without substance. Never once is there any real peril; this is created upsettingly apparent with the inclusion of non-superheroes Black Widow and Hawkeye, who are just too drastically inferior to travel up against world catastrophes initiated by intergalactic alien wargods. With an entire lack of definition for the numerous powers exhibited by the antagonists and protagonists alike, their massive demolition of Manhattan and battling one another for the title of "toughest superhero" means that terribly little. They might likewise all be invincible. No villain is formidable enough and no force threatening enough for these cartoonish CG-inundated extravagances to be sympathetic.
