A cameo from Sam Jackson as Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man in 2008
started the ball rolling for an eventual assembling of The Avengers, and
now half way through 2012 that promise is realised. And it is fun,
ridiculously good fun. The film may take a while to get going, but once
it does it doesn't let up on action, adventure, comedy and just sheer
geeky pleasure. Many have already said that The Hulk steals the show in
the film, and they’d be right to say so, but the whole ensemble is on
top form and having a great time, which shines through in every frame.
One of the most impressive things about this film is that it exists at
all; it is really a testament to the creative team behind this cinematic
universe at Marvel and Disney who have delivered this fan-boy delight.
In essence The Avengers is the 6th film in a series, bringing together
and exploring these characters and doing it so well. Having these
characters know that they all co-exist in this Universe opens up a box
of exciting possible options for the future of The Avengers and Marvel
films, and I for one can’t wait to see what they deliver next.
4.5/5
