Avengers Assemble

UK Release Date: April 26th 2012

Earth's mightiest heroes must come together and learn to fight as a team if they are to stop the mischievous Loki and his alien army from enslaving humanity.

Director: Joss Whedon

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddlestone, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Stellan Skarsgard, Samuel L.Jackson

Avengers Assemble is a surprisingly strong film in the Marvel Universe. The quintet (Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Captain America) are intact, each of them keeping their individuality without ruining the script. The action, humour and charisma it oozes is integral, not just as a stand-alone film but for the films that follow (Marvel's phase 2). Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson and Hiddlestone's villain Loki stand out, but the aliens that are under Loki's command are nothing more than cannon-fodder, but apparently pivotal for future films. Everyone gets there share of screen time, even Nick Fury. Avengers Assemble has everything a sci-fi blockbuster needs. It opens just as many questions within the Marvel Universe as it answers. Great family fun.

4/5
