“The Avengers”: A truly epic action picture

Director: Joss Whedon

Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston

Ratings: 3.5 out of 5

A truly epic action picture, The Avengers positively pulses with panache, wit and excitement throughout.

Director-Screenplay writer Joss Whedon does the implausible task of accumulating the superheroes for a common cause superbly. The script lets every character have its moments except for Hawkeye who gets the least significance. Jeremy Renner seems wasted. Barring him, rest all get equal opportunities to showcase their super-powers – As per the reports.

The Avengers does not fall short of anything. Stunts, story, performances, humour…the film has it all and just in the right proportion.

The reports also suggest that the overall, The Avengers is a fist-pumping cause for celebration for comic-book hard-liners and action fans alike.
