Avengers assemble review


I've been trying to watch this film for a couple of weeks now, couple of weeks ago I was thinking about going because my friends were going and last week we got to the pictures and it was sold out so instead of wasting money and watching a film for the sake of watching a film decided to go and see it this week and pre booking our tickets so we were guanteened a place.

My first words of avengers assemble OMG, I don't normally go to the pictures to watch the same film twice and i've seen a lot of great films in the pictures but for the avengers is so worth going to see the film again and again until it's out on DVD. I've got some other things to say that I didn't like, loved and hated but with a film like the avengers it was worth it.

The fight scenes were amazing, all of them with amazing special effects. The main fight scene took place in new york city's skyline.

All the film studios, they've all had the right idea, buying every marvel characters likeness so they were able to perfect each characters special effects individually before they brought into a very exciting fun filled polished experience.

I'm a sucker for origin storys, I love the first films of any franchise. The progression of the character coming through developing/gaining their powers.

The characters, a lot of characters in the film were meant to be there, one of the main characters was actually iron man, a lot of the elements and construction and story wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for iron man.

2 characters were actually pointless being there, now you're probably gonna guess which two characters (if you've seen the film/trailer) black widow and the bow and arrow guy. Sure black widow had feline reflexs and attacks but her main attack is a gun! That's it! And the guy, all he had was a bow and arrow and apart from great and godly accuracy, he was pointless too.

The camera work.
Coming from a media student, you tend to look at films in a different perspective, you start analying the camera angles that they've used, like low angle shots to show that they are important characters and it's to make the audience feel small.

All the camera angles were very dramatic that revealed the action in a far but close sense.

The writers for the avengers must work for some other company like big bang theory or how I met your mother. The film was surprisingly funny given the sense that marvel/super hero films aren't really that funny but the avengers assemble was quiet witty and clever with their jokes. Some were obvious jokes that had to be said but some were thrown at your face and we were all having unexpected laughter.

Special effects.
The special effects were amazing, film companies have had time to perfect each character's charactistics to really fine tune every little detail they can push out to on the film.

Overall a film that everyone needs to see even the ones that aren't interested in comic book movies!! There's some bits that need more explaining but since i've not seen thor or the incredible hulk, I can't comment and there are some bits which are amazing but it's easier to explain if you've seen the film.

  1. Joss Whedon wrote it. Imdb him. He wrote buffy the vampire slayer, angel, firefly, dollhouse, alien:resurrection and the screenplay for Toy Story He is a master at suspense and action with dollops of humour thrown in.
