There are moments of genuine pathos, genuine humor, genuine surprise. As much as the film adheres to the strictures of the standard comic-book movie, it also pops with a knowing, loving, Whedon-world jokiness that keeps everything barreling along.

The Avengers is as brawny and lamebrainy as any comic book movie deserves to be, capped by a 40-minute assault pummeling senses as few action sequences ever have.

The grand climax of a dedicated marathon: A masterful ensemble crossover that rewarded every hour of preparation.120518 (5.0)To fully savor this cinematic event in 2012, I meticulously revisited every previous entry in the franchise. That preparation paid off immensely; the sheer catharsis of seeing these heroes finally unite was overwhelming. It truly proved that "you see as much as you know," marking the first magnificent peak **** era that we may never see again. A perfect 5.0 for the ultimate reward of a fan's dedication.

I wasn't expecting this film story & action to be this good. Worth watching it with surround sound. If it doesn't wake up your neighbors, then it isn't loud enough. Glad they also didn't just add as much Avengers characters otherwise there would be too few screen time for each characters.

Big, brash and very funny, Joss Whedon's Avengers Assemble is equal to the sum of its parts – and for once, that's no faint praise. Suit up.

The Avengers has been executed with all the reverence the super-fans demand, as well as the winking, self-referential humor that has made it palatable for filmgoers disinclined to take a bunch of grown men dressed in spangles and spandex so very seriously.

Because it pulls off the tricky feat of combining multiple pre-existing Marvel franchises into a reasonably entertaining and tonally coherent whole, The Avengers will likely be hailed as a kind of thinking fan's superhero film, the way Whedon's recent "Cabin in the Woods" functioned as both a horror movie and a critique of same.

The bad news is that if you haven't seen "Thor," "Captain America" and "Iron Man 2" - that's six hours and three minutes of homework - The Avengers won't make sense. The good news is if you're a human under the age of 45, you probably already have.

Of the star-studded cast, only Mark Ruffalo (playing Bruce Banner) and Robert Downey Jr. (as Iron Man) bring any personality to the place-holder dialogue. Overlong, monotonous, violent, and simple-minded, this is like one of those "World's Biggest Gang Bang" videos, except that no one onscreen appears to be enjoying himself.

It's pure perfectio, what else should I say? Great story, great action, stunning scenes, nice humour. It has it all, this was a very ambitious film in 2012.

Great film, had a lot pressure, but finally, after a nobody-wanted 1st half, it finds itself, and becomes something.

Too much action. Too much CGI. The dialogue is corny and a-typical of bad action movies. Not a must see film.

Yeah... Nah. Very generic superhero movie, boring characters and just overall not great. Very 'high budget summer movie'-ish. Definitely watch Guardians of the Galaxy instead.
