It's mostly just the name of our movie articles. Calm down lol.

Agreed

i gave an agree. but what if they were just dc fans only ? :P

good movie this is, i half think u needed to see the other films first before this otherwise just jumping into this would be a "that kind of film" to most people

The thing about The Avengers is that you had to watch the films for the individual hero's to get any backstory. Also notice how I wrote that people will enjoy the humor IF they enjoyed the humor in Iron Man. It was a pretty damn good movie. It's just not perfect.

This isn't any ordinary everyday movie. This movie was the first of it's kind in movie history. Build characters in their standalone movies and combine them in one big team-up movie.

Every comic book fan has talked about this concept and they finally achieved it.

Yeah, Marvel has been building up to this movie for awhile but what exactly did they accomplish? They have made the mother of all franchises, but it doesn't exactly make the movie and better. I didn't feel the backstory necessarily enhanced The Avengers - like I said they basically played caricatures of themselves. There is very little depth or character development. Which is fine had they come up with an interesting plot, but it really just seems like an excuse to throw these characters on screen together.

The whole movie revolves around some sort of impending alien invasion, but they never elaborate on why. All we know is that some dark and mysterious figure named Thanos is behind things, and for some reason he has teamed up with Loki. His motivation goes unseen. That's a pretty gaping plot hole for any movie actually concerning itself with a story.

And the humor, while one of the movies strengths was also one of its weaknesses. There were some lines that just fell flat, most notably from Black Widow. And Tony Stark's humor just became grating after awhile. It would have been nice to see him have at least one sincere moment, but towards the end of the movie he just starts coming off unlikeable.
