The first time I saw The Avengers was on opening weekend at a 10:30 showing in the largest theater in my town. I was 16 and this was my first time attending a film with this much hype around it. The experience was incredible, maybe life-changing. The crowd was so into the movie, the one that got me really hooked on the MCU, cheering and gasping at all the right moments. It still ranks as one of the best theatergoing experiences of my life.
Now, six years and several viewings later, The Avengers still holds up as one of the best superhero movies ever.
This team-up movie, something nigh unthinkable pre-2008, shows us how Earth’s mightiest heroes come together after their solo outings. The potential cataclysm that brings them all together is

Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremuy Renner, Hiddleston, Clark Gregg, Samuel L. Jackson and the rest of the cast nail their roles. They all balance humor and seriousness brilliantly. Perhaps most importantly, they give unselfish performances, getting their moments to shine but never attempting to one-up their fellows in other scenes.
As much credit as the actors deserve, Joss Whedon earns even more as writer and director. By making this movie, he became one of the most important talents in the MCU and earned superhero nerd immortality. The film looks amazing, with lighting that feels natural and a good mix of static and moving camera shots. Whedon and McGarvey also gave us that tracking shot, the one in downtown New York City, which I count among my favorite shots of all time.
Moreover, the action scenes altogether are shot in with a virtuosity one would not expect from a TV veteran like Whedon. There is a coherency and fluidity to all of the fighting here that is exciting without resorting to any tricks. You always know where everyone is and what they’re doing in the

The costuming is a great blend of comic book garishness and reality. The sets add a real, tangible feel to all the CGI. And that CGI still holds up wonderfully.
Another technical element of the film that impresses if the score by Alan Silvestri. It’s undoubtedly the best score in any MCU film and one of the best of the superhero genre. It amplifies each scene in which Whedon uses it. Plus, it gave us the Avengers theme which is so perfect I can’t even describe it.
From a storytelling and screenwriting perspective, Whedon once again excels. The movie’s plot effectively gets the job done. It pulls you in and gets you invested in the characters. Then, it moves along at a near-perfect pace, with only one or two scenes not working (I’m looking at you, Johannson and Renner post Helicarrier battle).
Whedon also phenomenally manages the balance of seriousness and humor. This movie is hilarious at moments, with a number of lines that still make me laugh to this day. But it can also be serious and emotionally moving. Coulson’s climactic scene, the placement of the missile and the epilogue still get met choked up. And that’s not even considering all the goose bump inducing moments that Whedon packs
Acting of movie is very basic for todays standards. The actions of the Miles Bennell aren’t believable or logical. At some points the women of the movie tend of over action simple scenes. The rest of the cast is monotone and have little emotion.It ok casting, but they could of done better. You find yourself laughing at serious point in the film due to the poor acting. This movie could be recut to become a comedy movie, just based off their facial expression.
A truly unique film, Hail Caesar, directed by the Coen Brothers, captures its audiences attention with its witty references and beautiful cinematography. The cast is packed with some of Hollywood 's biggest names with lead roles played by the talented Scarlett Johansson, Jonah Hill, Ralph Fiennes, and many more. All of this put together forces the movie to become just as entertaining as promised in trailers and advertising.
Yet for all such positive reviews, the movie reeks. In an attempt to display the movie in a light-hearted way, the movie omits the things that really matter.
One aspect of the film that the reviewers found to be positive was the performance of Matthew McConaughey. Carpenter states that, McConaughey does a “credible job
...movie that I fell in love with. But most of all I love how the story line is a great overlap into the cinematically engaging movie. There is a great use of camera, timing, shots and story line that are portrayed in this movie without being too overwhelming. This allows the audience to relax during the movie and just take in the scenes as a story from reality. To this day, and even still doing this paper I still come to find different aspects of the movie that I missed the previous times I have watched it.
Hands down Robert Downey Jr. is one of the best actors that ever existed and him playing the role of Iron man just made the movie much better. Whedon did an amazing job as making Iron man the lead character that stole the show, because Iron man/ Tony Stark’s personality is what put humor
Overall, the film isn’t half as epic as Emmerich’s previous. blockbusters or half as entertaining. The dialogues are about as interesting as watching paint dry and the bland characters have about as much depth as a puddle in the street! The storyline isn’t exactly. deep, introspective stuff, either.
The Avengers is a 2012 super hero film featuring multiple heroes from the Marvel universe. It features a range of stars from previous Marvel films including Iron Man’s Robert Downey Jr. and Thor’s Chris Hemsworth, among many others. When this film was released it was met with wide spread praise, and it is easy to see why. The film offers so much more to the audience than just action sequences and cool costumes, it is actually a well thought out and executed movie.
After being in development for what seemed like an eternity, Sam Raimi brought us one of the most definitive superhero films of all time, 2002’s Spider-Man. Following Stephen Norrington’s Blade and Bryan Singer’s X-Men, Spider-Man quickly became a staple of Marvel in cinema, so much so that it warranted two sequels and two reboots following different iterations of the character. Nevertheless, it’s time to reevaluate the film that started the entire franchise just fifteen years ago, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man.
Eventually, it became too much for me and I became bored by it. I also became bored by the melancholy nature of the movie, especially its slow pace. While Anderson and Baumbach juggle their themes well, they are less successful doing so with their narrative. The film has a handful of subplots, and none of these are as interesting or emotionally engaging as the central quest for the scientific purpose of revenge.
It is a good movie and a nice wake up call for everyone. I think that the movie is great because of its realistic cinematography. In my opinion, the movie is satisfying because I have found the ending that I was expecting

Comic book superheroes also come with a fan based, and Spider-Man in particular has always has a huge following. Fans are willing to see the movie despite critical reviews, simply to see the comic book characters come to life. Aimed at a 16-24 year old male
I say this because it carries all of the basic cinematic elements that compose a great film. These elements begin with the characters. You can hardly expect to enjoy a movie if the characters are not believable. In this particular movie the characters were not only believable but you could identify yourself a little in one or all of the characters. One thing that can have an unfortunate detraction from even a good movie is anachronisms.
Every Marvel comic book fan that has faithfully watched every single one of Marvel’s other films is packed into a local theater as they prepare for what is the literal collection of all of Marvel’s most iconic comic book heroes into one spectacular fight fest. It is Marvel’s mashup otherwise known as Marvel’s The Avengers directed by Joss Whedon. The movie stars all the main protagonist of its previous films and include appearances from Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America and many more superheroes and their corresponding actors. The movie follows many Marvel movies as it is obviously a superhero action film that evokes childhood memories of comic books.
