“This is effects-driven, mass-appeal summer fare par excellence.”~The Hollywood Reporter
Aroview: Barnstorming blockbuster with Marvel's premier superheroes joining forces to combat Thor's evil brother Loki and his alien army.
Skilfully helmed by geek-lord Whedon who juggles the characters' competing story-lines seamlessly, and yet still provides action fans with plenty of bang for their buck.
Average rating (Good Enough). Showing 1-4 of 4 member reviews.
4 stars (Very Good) One of this year's massive blockbusters doesn't disappoint in terms of CGI and spectacle, but with so many Marvel characters drawn together at once I have to say that I still find each of the origin stories more compelling. ~Tom H
2 stars (Good Try) Boring and formalistic. ~Tubbs
4 stars (Very Good) The multi-superhero epic that should have been made sooner. Unimaginative 'origin movie' plot aside, everything is executed perfectly by Whedon & co. A good cast support snappy dialogue and some excellent action correography. ~SteveParkes
3 stars (Good Enough) Initially found it tedious and long-winded but I warmed up to it. Is it just me, or does this seem, well, anonymous? The post-credits scene of our heroes dining out was the most Whedonesque thing about it... ~HiFi
