One of the finest examples of bringing the perfect team together, this has smashed its way through all of my favourite movies to become the pinnacle of Superhero prowess!
Samuel L. Jackson is great as Nick Fury and it's so good to finally see plenty of him after all his cameos!
Scarlett Johansson is very impressive as Natasha and I really, really like Mark Ruffalo's performance as Bruce Banner and he is solely responsible for changing my feelings regarding the Hulk.
Chris Evans does excellent work getting Cap up to speed and Robert Downey Jr. ups his game as Stark and lives up to the word hero and has many of the best lines.
Chris Hemsworth absolutely nails his performance as Thor and I could happily watch him and Tom Hiddleston's Loki talk to each other forever! It really is like Shakespeare in the park and it adds such weight to the movie and this along with Cap's old fashioned inherent goodness means there is just so much to enjoy!!
There are lovely supporting performances from Clark Gregg's Agent Phil Coulson and Cobie Smulders as Agent Hill and Jeremy Renner also does well as Clint and is very cool to watch as the action heats up towards the end.
As much as I love all of the Avengers, Loki completely steals it! Tom Hiddleston gives such a dramatically malicious performance that I think he tops every bad guy before him and Loki vs the Hulk is something I will never forget!
This has bucketloads of humour and incredible action and considering that this is just the beginning, I cannot wait to see where Joss Whedon takes this!!
Funny, menacing and truly heroic, this demands repeat viewings and a lot of respect!
