Marvel’s The Avengers

Yes – I do believe that there are better movies in the MCU than the first Avengers flick. For that matter, I believe that the movie is a bit overrated and that the enthusiasm of the fans isn’t there not because it is such a good flick, but because it represents the first time an entire superhero team is united on the big screen.
There are too many things that work perfectly in the movie to mention. From Loki’s re-introduction to the ragdoll scene, and from the Avengers fighting each other and then fighting together against an army, it’s very well done.
Of course, the movie would have been served better if the heroes faced something other than cannon fodder – but, then again, who would have done it better?
There’s no point in mentioning the movie’s box office take and critical success. But I can bet that a long time will pass before this success is matched by another superhero ensemble movie – in the MCU or anywhere else.
