Everything that's happening, the things that are about to come to light, people might just need a little old fashioned. The Avengers (AKA: Avengers Assemble) is written and directed by Joss Whedon, with Zak Penn co-writing the story. It stars Robert Downey Junior, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddlestone, Clark Gregg, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders and Stellan …

The last hour is a lot of fun, but I found the opening chunk disappointing. I was expecting wall-to-wall action, pretty much from the start - especially given the forces that join together. However, I felt the first half of 'The Avengers' as slow. What also didn't help is that the villain, carried over from a preceding MCU film, isn't super interesting - we also don't see the antagonist's earlier film counterpart …

I give this 10 Stars based on it being not only better than the trailer and the hype made me thing it would be, but also that it was the first time anything the size and scope of the Marvel Cinematic universe was pulled off successfully. Having Joss direct this movie lives and dies on character interaction. This movie is on the definitive list in my opinion even just for that.

With a movie like this you wonder how all of the otherwise, main characters will work together and support the story. No problems here. While as might be expected, R. Downey Jr. comes across largely central, it is still a good mix and IMHO the best scenes in the movie involve the generated Hulk character. With that kind of successful melding of characters, Hollywood-scale egos and even computer generated characters; …

One of the few movies to actually make me feel like a kid again, Joss Whedon was the perfect filmmaker to do this film. Everyone gets their time to shine. The script juggles every plot point and character moment with clarity and ease. It's funny, smart, and visually jaw dropping. Definitely lived up to the five movie hype.
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 262 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people.

neutral · AI labelView post →I like to think of this as the Samuel L. Jackson Method (after his character in the Avengers movie who says "I recognize that the Council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it") and I'm begging Democrats to adopt it

The upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday has BOTH the Avengers and the New Avengers in it, and it's a new movie but it's not a NEW New Avengers movie

neutral · AI labelView post →You know something else I hate about the Russo Brothers’ MCU? They killed the Avengers movie. Avengers movies are now just sloppy cameo orgies to keep the rubes hollering like they’re at a wrestling match. The Avengers do not really exist and haven’t as a team for 10 years.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched They Came from Beyond Space 1967 and I thought it was a cross between an ep of The Avengers and a Dr. Who film. After I read this , which makes sense now. To save costs, the production used many sets and props from the Amicus movie Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966) filmed earlier.

positive · AI labelView post →Also I know the New Avengers marketing thing is a little annoying but in the context of the film I think it really works? The entire movie is built around Yelena, and others, finding a purpose in her life and wanting to be more and getting The Avengers name, even how they do, is the pay-off
positive · AI labelView post →Alternate answer: I worked at Family Video in the early 2010s and the ONLY non-family movie we were allowed to play on the store TVs was The Avengers. A movie I had also seen in theaters like...6 times, I think. I could probably recite that entire movie from memory at this point.
