The Hollywood summer blockbuster season has kicked off with a
hiss and roar with the arrival of the hugely-hyped marvel mash-up The
Avengers into cinemas globally.
Bringing
the marvel comics superhero team to the big screen was a no-brainer, and while
Hollywood’s mixed it up with the team members a little, the spirit of The
Avengers remains true - and in all their big screen glory they really are
just a tonne of fun.
All your
favorites are back and apart from the hulk they’re as you remember them, from
Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man to Liam Hemsworth’s Thor to Scarlett Johannson’s
Black Widow.
Throw in new action hero de jour Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, giving Katniss a run
for her Hunger Games money with his archery skills, plus new Hulk
Mark Ruffalo and The Avengers have never looked so hot.
So the
story?
As hinted
off the back of the recent Thor and Iron Man outings, the bad space god Loki is
on a mission to rain outer space hell and brimstone upon the Earth.
The only
hope planets Earth has, of course, are our superheroes - if Nick Fury and his
mysterious super spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D can rally them in time and stop the
in-fighting.
The final
showdown is a fittingly epic finale to what’s essentially a sleek stylish
popcorn superhero blockbuster for all ages, and impossible to hate.
Four stars ****
