REVIEW BY TOM WORFOLK
I will try to keep this as spoiler free as possible as I HATE spoilers with a passion but if the occasional one slips in then it will only be minor and I promise it will not spoil your viewing pleasure.
For those of you that may have been living with your head in the sand for the last five years then Avengers Assemble (The Avengers in other parts of the world) is the highly anticipated film from Marvel studios which sees Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) all coming together to work as one unit for S.H.I.E.L.D under the watchful eye of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).
The team are brought together to fight Thor's evil brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) as he trys to unleash a powerful evil on the planet via the use of the all powerful cosmic-cube. However, in order to fight as a team they must become a team and as the Heroes are are all very large personalities used to working solo it takes a bit of time to build a mutual respect for one another.
Marvel have done it again and this time not only have they hit it out of the stadium the ball has left the universe. This film is awesome. I watched it in 3D at an IMAX screen at the Cineworld cinema in Crawley and it was breathtaking. The 3D effects were amazing and the sound blew you away. It was a completely immersive experience and I think I actually forgot to breath in the first 10 minutes of the film.
The film is action from start to end, it doesn't drop the pace at all and it doesn't drag either (even with its runtime of 2 hours and 20mins). The fight scenes are awesome as well - kudos to the special effects guys at Marvel as they always seem to do a great job. All of the characters are played well but me and Natalie both agree that Tony Stark just manages to draw the attention of the audience more than the others heroes. That isn't to say that's a bad thing as Stark is probably the character I would most like to be out of all of them.
This film is a roller coaster of entertainment and whether you are into your comic books (and there are lots of excellent "geek" references which I picked up) or whether you just want to see an action flick that will leave you breathless this is the one to watch.
In my opinion it is going to take an awful lot to top this one for film of the year 2012.
As a side note prior to the film there was a trailer for the final Batman film and it too looks AMAZING!!!
