The Avengers Assemble Movie Review
You should all know the plot by now, Thor's brother the evil Asgardian Loki, (Tom Hiddleston) has arrived on Earth, intent on conquering humanity, with an alien army to back him up. Facing an unprecedented threat, S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) puts the Avengers Initiative into action, gathering together Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) to defend the planet, as well as including S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner).
It's right there that The Avengers could be a poor film or an utterly marvellous one. With so much content to throw around; four characters who have previously been the leads in their own films, a team of superheroes, a major supervillain and a some super spies, it's no wonder that we were all on baited breath when it was announced.
Writer/director Joss Whedon has done a tremendous job of not letting The Avengers fall apart, and the glue that holds it all together is the character interaction. From Steve Rogers' no-nonsense approach, to Tony Stark's humorous narcissism, to Thor's straight-laced, otherworldly focus, all sparring off against each other, whilst The Hulk, well, smashes things. All the characters have their comic-book counterparts down to a tee, and they all play off each other so well.
Even though the action scenes are terrific, it's the way the characters don't quite gel to begin with that outshines. Seeing Captain America square off to Tony Stark (minus his Iron Man armor; "Big man, in a suit of armour... take that away, what are you? " to which we get the kind of reply we've come to know of Stark "Uh... genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist... "
The characters seem to just be completely natural in their roles, especially Hiddleston as the evil Loki, a villain who you love to hate.
The main problem with The Avengers, is the inevitable one. If the film isn't over 4-hours long, then someone is going to get undercut with screen time. In this case, it's Hawkeye. Sure, he gets enough time that you don't forget about him, but it's fan favourites Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and The Hulk that get the stage, but it doesn't really suffer from it.
Then there's the story; Loki is going to destroy earth, Avengers Assemble, stop him and, well, that's it. But the no-nonsense, bare bones approach works really well. Whedon had enough to do just getting the characters right, had he made a more complicated story and it could have got too messy.
Scarlett Johansson, makes a much stronger and better impression as Black Widow here than how the character was handled in Iron Man 2, doing a fine job in bringing the character to life.
And, as you'll all know, the Hulk is in this, but not the Hulk from the past films. Mark Ruffalo is the Bruce Banner we all craved for, and, most importantly, the best movie Hulk we've ever seen. His scenes are spectacular, especially when he saves a falling Iron Man, and, my particular favourite scene with Loki, where he screams at the Hulk "I am a God! I am not going to be bullied by a -" to which Hulk interrupts by grabbing Loki by the legs and throwing him around. It's genuinely funny stuff.
Overall
Whilst it may not last with The Dark Night Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man around the corner, The Avengers is the best superhero film, ever, and whilst it took nearly a half-century to make it happen onscreen, it was worth the wait, with the perfect cast and perfect writer/director.
Awesome stuff.

You loved that Avengers trailer at the end of Captain America: The First Avenger. What do you mean you haven't seen it!
Luckily for you (you know who you are...) it's made it's way online (sort of), so you can watch the clip here, courtesy of Yahoo. It also features part of the final scene from Captain America, for some bizzare reason, so -- SPOILER ALERT --. Anyway, embedded video below -- enjoy!
Comic Con: Concept art from The Avengers Released
The Avengers is shaping up to be quite the treat, and Marvel have released some concept art of the characters, including one big, angry, giant green man. Speculation surrounded the Tech Beever office when we found out that Ed Nortan wouldn't be reprising his role as the jolly green giant, but who is playing the part?
Step foward Mark Ruffalo (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Shutter Island) who will be playing Dr. Bruce Banner/The Hulk, who can see at the end of the concept art list.
Speaking of the list, here are the concept art pieces for Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Thor, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and of course, The Hulk.
