Movie Madness

Mark and I went to the cinema yesterday evening (after stopping off at Yo Sushi for dinner - yes, I'm addicted I know!) to see....

Avengers Assemble!

"Marvel Studios presents Marvel's The Avengers-the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins."- Marvel 

Starring:
Robert Downey Jr - Tony Stark/Iron Man
Chris Hemsworth - Thor
Chris Evans - Captain America
Mark Ruffalo - Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk
Scarlett Johansson - The Black Widow
Samuel L Jackson - Nick Fury

The build-up to this film has been ongoing for some time, with the separate character films being released one by one since Iron Man in April 2008. Therefore the expectations for Avengers Assemble was pretty high, and I have to say it did not disappoint! Joss Whedon brings together all the stars of the Marvel Studios in one crazy action-packed superhero smash, which is highly entertaining. The script was brilliant with great witty dialogue, (mostly delivered by Robert Downey Jr...mmm...) keeping the whole cinema audience engaged and laughing out loud at each quip. The special effects and epic battle sequences were balanced with what could have been super cheesy overly emotional sequences, but somehow managed to bring just the right amount of humanity to the individual characters. A definite blockbuster and one of this years must-see movies!

4.5/5

Have a great Friday! Weekend tomorrow 🙂
