Movie Review: The Avengers

This was second attempt for Mirror Mirror sadly it was discontinued. So we opted for second best instead: The Avengers. Reviews from friends of this movie seems good,  so may as well give it a try.

The movie do aroused interests in town, cinema hall was full (even the first 3 rows!), we sit back and awaiting for an exciting show or rather mind blowing one. However 2 hours and 15 mins sitting in tells me the movie is kind of crappy. In conclusion it's dissapointing.

Apparently this is an American-boy comic adapted show, using an old storyline encompasses vague catalyst in the entire production. The unknown energy source landed on earth led 'semi-god' Loki and aliens to take advantage to detroy the earth which I don't understand why or maybe he just trying to invade and rule the Earth. The course of invasion pulled all the superheroes in one place to defy the Earth Ordeal - To be destructed.

Too much of 'non-english' (scientific/mechanical terms) confused me and lost intermittently. The whole movie was badly directed, no cohesiveness and the whole war zone happened for the sake of happening. What led the aliens to attack earth? for the unknown power source? or rulling the earth?


The movie consist of Hulk, American Captain, Iron Man, Thor, black widow, hawkeye. Too many superheroes led me to wonder do they ran out of ideas of making alien armagadon show? Are these heroes supposely co-existing in the same era (apparent it does as it was adapted from Marvel Comic published in 1963) Or the director merely group them into one to salvage the cost of past productions? I don't see the strength of each of this hero.

Frankily since this was a vintage comics, which means most of us were not as smart as kids today whom have access to load bank of informations, the storyline was fairly outdated. Should the show meant to show the super power of each hero which I don't see much, so what's there to shout about? I don't know. Yeah The Avengers WAS something in the West, those were the days.

What stunts does the Iron Man carried? someone who could fly and fight against the aliens battleship only with mechanical armor on. Hulk, American Captain, Thor, black widow and hawkeye could basically fight from the ground and their super power isn't impressive, AT ALL. On the other hand Hulk super thwarts against the alien battleships makes him standout. Other than that, I don't see much heroism played by Thor, Black widow and hawkeye.  


The only thing I felt impressive was Scarlett Johansson. She is a pretty thing, everyone knows, thought she was just going to be another blonde bombshell but turnout to be she-could-be-quite -"actionable!" (Thumbs up). 




My eye candy was Chris Evan, holly cow, look at his body (I'm not THAT 6 packs fanatic, of course everyone made the effort to have 6 packs is a plus point). I would say he has a perfect muscular body in every part of him, broad frame, arms, legs, upper and lower body. OK, I have to emphasize here Not Every 6 packs guy have proportionate figure. But his, basically perfect! not to mention his look, errrhem! drooling..



Frankily I still don't understand why gather so many heroes in an movie and the overal cause of the battlefield.  It's simply plain as it lacked of components like human sentiments, personal values, heart-touching scenes, sorry to say it 's  plain battling. Perhaps this is boy-men's thing which I couldn't appreciate, I would seriously prefer to Battleship which watched recently.
