FILM REVIEW - Avengers Assemble (Spoiler-free)

Directed by: Joss Whedon
Written by:  Joss Whedon
Starring: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston
Release Year: 2012
Genre: Action
Certificate: 12A

What do you get when you give a 12 year old boy a litre of coke and 50 blue smarties, then tell him to write a list of everything he wants in a film? The answer is Avengers Assembled. There is more explosions then a popcorn machine on overdrive. And yes this is a good thing. And when there isn't any explosions there is sexy fighting from black widow or a massive green hulk smashing everything to pieces.


The film also has some memorable and funny quotes and scenes and it is hard to choose my favorite. It is well directed and written throughout and I never felt like there was a bad line or moment.


The story line is alright, but then with a film like this a lot of action sequences would suffer with an in depth story line so this was not needed. Some things that bothered me in the film was how powerful Iron man, The Hulk and especially Thor are compared to the rest of the gang. I mean, what can Captain America do, really? He is a slightly stronger then a strong human and his shield would be better off in say Thor's other hand. Obviously paint it so it looks less like a giant lolly pop then we can kill off Captain America. 


Another slight moan is that although Hulk did look really good in this movie there was still a couple of moments where he looked unnatural (well apart from being a giant green man, you get what I mean though right).


I would defiantly recommend this film and I might even be one of the people who goes back and watches the re-release with an extra 30 minutes (if it is released), because it is that good. 


9/10

BOX OFFICE CHARTS - Week Ending 19 June

1. Prometheus
Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror adventure mash-up is still at number 1 in it's third week. Although, I doubt it will still be here when Spidey turns up next month and blows it out the water. For our review of Prometheus, click here.

2. Men In Black 3
The sci-fi comedy is still kicking, a non-mover from last week. For our review, click here.

3. Snow White and the Huntsman
Another non-mover from last week. NEWS: If you enjoyed the film, a sequel has been confirmed.

I really really really want to see this film. I know it's got pretty poor reviews, but I love the music, and it's got Russell Brand in it. New this week.

5. The Pact
Moved down one from last week.

6. Red Lights
I love  supernatural films, and I think Cillian Murphy is brilliant. I can't wait to see this film. New this week.

7. Avengers Assemble
Just uttering it's last dying words before Spidey and The Dark Knight Rises battle it out to be the next big superhero movie. My money's on TDKR. Down 2 from last week.

BOX OFFICE CHARTS - Week Ending 12 June

Why is it all the weeks I find for charts have already ended... anyway

1.Prometheus
Now, in America Madagascar 3 over took this in the charts which has not been released here yet. It will be interesting to see if the same happens here.
There is a review of Prometheus to follow later today, keep checking back.


2.Men In Black 3
Up one beating Snow White. Interesting, but I still don't get why this was the most expensive film ever made. Looks good though.


3.Snow White And The Huntsman
Down one.


4.The Pact
New this week. Looks like a very scary film, well directed.


5.Marvel Avengers Assemble
Down one but still in the charts. At this rate it should be here for a while.

Up one


7.The Dictator
Dropped again down two from last week.


8.What To Expect When Your Expecting
Dropped two
