Inviso 02/18/21 12:59:43 PM #433:	ZenOfThunder I actually screamed "YEAH" @ "Hulk... Smash" in theaters. I was a different man back then. MetalDK The original team. Has aged a little bit, but still a must watch Inviso After spending four movies and one sequel setting up the characters, the first Avengers film manages to NAIL everything it was going for. For starters, bringing the team together really highlights how diverse their personalities are: Stark is a cocky jackass, Thor is an arrogant fish out of water, Captain America is a boy scout, Banner is a quirky weirdo, Widow is a stoic loner, and Nick Fury does not take shit from ANYONE. Naturally, these personalities clash since none of them really has the same end goal for their role in the Avengers, and it takes an attack where they live (so to speak) to bond the team and make them actually work together towards a common goal. And that end battle scene is just fun action from start to finish. Everyone gets to showcase their strengths, but the sheer volume of warriors facing the team evens the odds. Oh yeah, and for becoming a COMPLETE piece of shit, Loki gets his ass handed to him brilliantly by the Hulk in one of SEVERAL good comedic moments of the film. Its just really solid from start to finish. PrinceKaro This is the first big crossover movie that marvel did, and though it is not without problems it still holds up surprisingly well compared to the other early MCU films. So Loki tries to take over Earth with the help of an alien race called the Shiitake, and in response the earth's mightiest heroes (plus some idiot with a bow and arrow) get together at last. Things are a little slow to start, but once we get into the action the strength of this movie and how its characters interact truly shows. This film set the stage for what the MCU would become and pretty much became the model for its whole formula going forward. This was certainly well deserved. ScepterOfLove (No write-up.) Snake5555555555 Lets face it: Avengers is not complex, its not complicated, its just what youve always wanted to see on the silver screen. And theres absolututely nothing wrong with that. This was a true spectacle, an unmatched theater viewing experience, proof the MCU worked even if all the pieces werent quite ready yet (Hawkeye & Black Widow being chief among them). Its character dynamics are perfect, you can feel the stakes, and hell, theres just a bunch of fun, edge of your seat character action moments that will just take your breath away. Unfortunately, I think the Chitauri are a bunch of throwaway visual vomit but thats really all I can complain about here. Its certainly not a perfect film but it is in concept; once you see the awesome shot of the Avengers standing proudly circled, shoulder-to-shoulder, you know the age of the superhero had officially reached its golden age. Anagram I havent watched this in a long, long time. I expect it wont hold up. Part of its strength is probably just that bringing together a bunch of heroes had never been done before, but it does have a lot of good spectacle moments. Paratroopa1 I wasn't watching the MCU back when the first Avengers came out, so I had no idea what the big deal was, and I didn't go back and see it until after I had seen Infinity War. Amazingly, it still held up, and I saw why people were going nuts for it. I watched every MCU film in order between Infinity War and Endgame, and while the first few films are far from my favorites, it was really cool to have a movie (or two in Iron Man's case) to get acquainted with each of the main characters, and then seeing them all come together. It's kind of like Smash 64 vs Ultimate - yeah, Ultimate has the bigger and more awesome roster, but there's something special about that first crossover where you see all the main characters come together, you know? After a while you stop being able to appreciate seeing Mario fight Link. Here, though, I was able to get all excited about Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Hulk teaming up. Unlike the slow and dull Age of Ultron, the first Avengers movie is really well-paced and fun throughout, an almost infinitely rewatchable movie because it just never allows itself to get boring for even a second. All of the other Phase One movies feel a little old and not quite up to speed with the more modern MCU movies, but The Avengers still holds up 100% in my opinion. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier.
