Going into this movie I was a little worried, with all the reviews that were coming out and Marvel releasing trailers, clips, tv spots and interviews I was afraid the hype was going to be too much to live up to. But man was I wrong, this movie deserves all the praise it’s getting. In the hands of someone else this could have been a total disaster, but Joss Whedon managed to turn out a really good film.
ACTING
I though the acting was really good in here, everyone did a really job with there roles, I was really impressed with Tom Hiddleston’s performance of Loki. In Thor I thought Loki was kind of lack luster, as a villain he didn’t come as a threatening to me but here he upped his threat level by a ton. Every character even the minor roles got the right amount of screen need for this type of epic movie project. The Humor is actually funny and not offensive like you see in so many of these other big block buster films in modern times.
Special Effects/Sound
The special effects for this movie was just jaw dropping, In particular The Hulk really blew my mind the way he movies and interacts with the other Avengers is just so life like it’s hard to believe technology has come this far. The music scores is very fitting, it sounds very heroic and uplifting when it needs to be and gives you that since of uncertainty when our heroes are in a tight spot. Overall cinematography is just fantastic.
Pacing
The movie is about 2 hours and 30 minutes long and doesn’t feel like it all, I never wanted it to end and when it’s all over I was like I need more and now. The movie flows along very nicely you’ll be on the edge of your seat while watching this on the big IMAX screen.
Overall
I was trying to think of anything I really didn’t care for and honestly I couldn’t find one thing that disappointed me, to me this is the best superhero movie since Pixar’s The Incredible’s. Stay after the credits as usual Marvel has something very special planned for the second wave of its Marvel movie universe. I give this movie a 10 out of 10 it’s good to see a movie with such high expectations meet the requirements.
