The Avengers



What I liked:

  • Obviously, the incredible characters: Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, The Black Widow, Hawkeye, Loki, Agent Coulson, Agent Hill, Nick Fury, and Pepper Potts!
  • Well played by Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Samuel L. Jackson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Stellan Starsgard, Paul Bettany, Alexis Denisof, and Stan Lee.
  • Chrissy from Growing Pains and Jim Walsh from Beverly Hills 90210!
  • It filmed two really big scenes in Cleveland!  Check out pictures from my visit to the set here.
  • It was funny.  Smart funny.  Geeky funny.
  • Joss Whedon did a fine job directing.  I liked how he mixed things up with some interesting shots from the ground, looking up.
  • The graphics, animation, CGI, and 3D Effects were all great.
  • Stay through the credits.  Watch all 5 million names go by and then be rewarded with a humorous little clip.


What I didn't like:

  • RIP - -?!
  • It felt a little long and at times, slow.  They had a lot of ground to cover.

Grade: A-
