Avengers - Assembled in Hurry

Avengers - Assembled in Hurry
May 2nd, 2012 

I loved the movie, but cummon, it could have been done better. As a now-diehard-super-heros-fan, thanks to my 4 year old, guess I expected much more.

If there ever was a band of misfits, crazy guys with crazy powers, it ought to be the Avengers.

A guy with a super attitude,
A guy with anger issues,
A DemiGod with literally lighting up the path he walks,
A super spy,
America's Super soldier and
A Super Agent

A need to bring them all together, a cause and an Enemy worthy enough to stand against all of them? And iron out the petty fight?? Hmm, Looks like, the kids never grew up, from the ever squabbling Super Hero Squad.

Even my 4 year old can tell you this, To battle the total power of the 6 Super Heroes, you need an enemy with "awesome" powers, you need a force beyond imagination.

Will A force from out of the world, do?At least this was right, the villains were all from well beyond our atmosphere. But then again, a lean and lanky Loki,with the second best syndrome, as THE ENEMY??? And armed with a bunch of weirdos that look like morphed Predators hurriedly stuffed in armor, flying something that looks like a jet, that even after the movie ended, I couldn't make out, if the army was of Godly origin, or just another race in the Universe.

Cummon, Imotep's army were far more creative and scary, and that was like 10 years ago.

And a portal to another Universe, guess the director missed seeing Transformers 3.

A cube with an energy source, like nothing we have seen so far, we have already had the entire Transformer series based on this.

To top it all, the snake like creature, that is supposed to wreak more havoc, an absolute no brainer. The robot snake from, Thalaivar's Enthiran and Shockwave from T3 were far more impressive.

What else I didnt like, there is this just too much talking, and may be to do justice to the Awesomeness(?) of each of the Super heroes, the story drags here and there.
In fact, in one of long session of dialogues, I could hear someone, snoring.

What else I like? Jokes are aplenty and helps to boost the dull moments.

For a guy, who spent more than half a century sleeping, and still trying to get a handle on the current references, Captain America, has really come up to speed, by his "Hulk, SMASH"
And Bruce, he goes to Calcutta, to not lose his temper & stay calm!! Boy, I have never been to Calcutta, but now, if the auto rickshaws drivers & rides, didn't cause the Other Guy to come, I am amazed. Calcutta it is. :-)

In the end, I feel Thor didn't quite get the screen time he needed, no idea what Hawkeye and Black Widow were doing, Captain America is his usual self, and it was Iron Man and Hulk all the way.

But, yes I am off to see the movie again, tomorrow, this time with my little one.
He gets to see all of his Avengers, and I get to sit through the jokes, and watch him enjoy the movie.

Worth your money, but it could have been DEFINITELY done better.
