The only threat of the villains is Loki, who could be handled easily by Banner or Thor single-handedly. Barton and Banner were mind-controlled by Loki, but that was just temporary. Loki just started a war that he would never win. The storytelling is highly unbalanced. The visual effects and action sequences of the last fourty minutes were sensational and thrilling, yet the long part before it was boring and useless. Some action scenes lack credibility and look fake, as nobody gets injured or bleeds, and the editing of the film is not convincing. The name "Avengers" is misleading, since these superheroes are not avenging and are just saving the world. Particularly, the war criminal Loki was not sentenced to death. "Savers" might be a better name for the team.Overall, this film does not live up to its hype.

A film that exceeds expectations. The Avengers opened our eyes to the possiblities of the Shared universe, by giving us one of the best if not the best superhero film ever made. By putting emphasis on characters, action, visuals, and great interactions.

No spoilers here - all the characters were introduced so seamlessly. You're like HEY its Spiderman or HeY its that dude with wings from the end of the last ex men. etc etc There were few things better done and more entertaining than introducing the guardians of the galaxy crew in. That had some hilarious results. I love the Dr Strange/Tony Stark moments but you kinda knew they had to come. Bruce fighting with Hulk was hilarious. Thanos is a great character and a way that unifies what all the teams are doing. One of the highlights of the film has to be when peter dinklage shows up in ....well in the form he showed up in! (you'll see!) it was delightful to see him and i heard at least 10 audible sighs of glee at seeing him. Groot and Rocket hangin around with Thor was Hilarious. Saw a few people I didn't know but Black Panther and a few others ended up being cool too. Great job stan lee and jon favreau - can't wait to see the next one. so many deaths in this one that i feel like we need a support group just to get us to the next one!

The Avengers is popcorn entertainment at its best. It's a superhero movie and it's not ashamed to show off that baggage at all. If anything The Avengers takes that label and runs with it all the way through its saving-the-world story.Does it need to be particularly deep? No. Is it an entertaining film that managed to get on by just fine before Spiderman's introduction to the MCU? Yes, absolutely. Cap, Thor, Hulk, Iron-Man, Black Widow and Nick Fury are great team players overall. I didn't count Hawk-Eye then because for some reason Jeremy Renner's portrayal just doesn't work for me. Everyone else is just fine though.Avengers may be rendered a little obsolete because of its sequels but I reckon it's still a rock-solid movie that's a great time-killer through and through.
