'The Avengers' is a combination superhero movie. It doesn't really get going until half way through when all the characters are finally together. Once they all get in the same room it's a lot of fun. There's lots of action, snark, and a couple inspiring moments. If someone tells you it's great, it's not. It's good but not something life altering or something so good you have to see it again the next day. If you liked the characters in their original movies you'll like them again. I hated Thor and still thought his character was boring. The Hulk finally got a good portrayal by Mark Ruffalo who stole the show. Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role for a third time as Iron Man and is, at this point, too much snark not enough soul. Even so he's enjoyable to watch and does a lot of the heavy lifting as far as driving the plot and keeping you engaged.
The movie is fun, somewhat predictable, and funny. Some of the characters(Captain America, Hawkeye) don't really have much to do. The movie isn't deserving of the best opening of all time. The movie isn't great despite what all your nerd friends tell you. But it is good. Go in with the simple expectation to be entertained and you might be surprised. More than that and you'll be disappointed.
See It.
