My Thoughts on THE AVENGERS – (can a superhero movie get better than this?)

 

 

It is difficult to handle 2 lead characters in a movie,( just have a look at bollywood multi-starrers for example) so how can someone manage to assemble not two, not three, total six lead characters and that too Superheroes in a single movie and hope for success??? Director Joss Whedon not only manages but does it so brilliantly.

‘The Avengers’ starts with very unconventional way- at least for a superhero movie- with slow pace, building a plot brick by brick,  introducing all characters simplistic way. There is not much over-the-top action in first half(that’s being more than compensated in last half). What keeps audiences interested in first half is strong performance of leads (especially Robert D Junior), lots of humor, and anticipation of forthcoming events.

‘The Avengers’ starts justifying its superhero genre in last half, and till the end it becomes an-example-to-imitate for all future superhero movies. The biggest plus point of a movie is that it allots equal screen space and equal importance to all 6 leading characters. The climax is epitome of this plus point. It is very difficult to allot a deserving screen space to all superheroes in action scenes of such a huge scale. More often than not it ends in mumble jumble. But joss whedon (who is also a writer) here passes this hurdle with distinction.

I will avert myself from revealing further story here, instead appeal that every-one who likes superhero movie must go and catch this ASAP (there is simply no excuse for you and if you don’t catch it till 2^nd weekend, you will be stripped off THE FAN tag), those who don’t like superhero movies go and treat yourselves with a roller-coaster, high octane, well scripted action movie and find out why you should be a fan of superhero movies.

 

Positives-

Robert Downey Jr.’s Performance

Humorous dialogues

High Octane Action

On-the-edge-of-the-sit Climax

 

Negatives-

None (If you find any, be sure that you have become a certified pessimistic!)
