How do we pose a threat to a demigod, a supersoldier, a guy within an indestructible metal suit along with a hulking green juggernaut? Well, you actually can't. But with a surplus of loud explosions, massive battles, and limitless CG effects you can feign the right amount of adventure to appease fans of these monumental clashes between good and evil. The Avengers keeps the concepts simple enough, but piles on a lot mayhem it can become wearisome to people not previously committed to its subjects and prepared to readily have confidence in the delirious events transpiring on the watch's screen. If you're not cheering by the time our gang of superheroes takes down a giant mechanical space worm, you probably knew a long time ago this movie wasn't for you personally.

As Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and also the agents of the secret military agency S.H.I.E.L.D. attempt to harness the power of the extraterrestrial power source referred to as Tesseract, the villainous exiled demigod Loki (Tom Hiddleston) returns to Earth to steal it. Along with the cube, Loki brainwashes and kidnaps assassin Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) and scientist Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard) to aid in his devious plot to conquer all of humanity. To combat this new threat, Fury reinstitutes his scrapped "Avengers" initiative and sets about gathering together the earth's greatest heroes - Ironman (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson).

The posing, evil grimacing to denote villainy, and arsenal of one-liners are in an all-time high in The Avengers, which works to assemble a group of superheroes that constantly compete for screen time, one-upmanship, and the last laugh. The humor is actually overdone, poking fun whatsoever from the characters and situations to the stage that audiences will probably question which absurdities they must be taking seriously. And that is detrimental inside a film overflowing with fantastical silliness, both visually and from dialogue. It's bad enough that despite gods and alien worlds, the extremely advanced technology is still unbelievable - which jargon like gamma signature, thermonuclear, quantum, fusion, and cognitive recalibration sound so ludicrously forced for the sake of convincing viewers the Avengers' instruments are beyond general comprehension.

Although it's not quite a sequel, still it only feels appropriate to measure it up to films like Transformers 3, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, The wolfman, Superman Returns and the like. It's not as mind-numbingly nonsensical as a few of the aforementioned titles, however it doesn't look or feel original, and also the abundance of special effects and overwhelming destruction create nonstop spectacle without substance. Never once can there be any real peril; this really is made upsettingly apparent with the inclusion of non-superheroes Black Widow and Hawkeye, who're just too drastically inferior to increase against global catastrophes initiated by intergalactic alien wargods. Having a complete lack of definition for the various powers exhibited by the antagonists and protagonists alike, their massive demolition of Manhattan and battling each other for the title of "toughest superhero" means very little. They may as well be invincible. No villain is formidable enough with no force threatening enough of these cartoonish CG-inundated extravagances to become sympathetic.
