Review … The Avengers

I don’t care what they call it in my country, I can’t bring myself to call the film Avengers Assemble. It’s The Avengers. I will admit, when it was first advertised, I thought it was a remake of the spy series featuring Steed, Purdy and Gambit. When I found out it was about Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow and the self-centred Stark/Iron Man, I thought “WOW!”

Reprising their roles were:

• Samuel L Jackson……………………………….Nick Fury
• Robert Downey Jr………………………………Tony Stark/Iron Man
• Scarlet Johansson………………………………Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow
• Chris Evans……………………………………….Steve Rogers/Captain America
• Chris Hemsworth………………………………..Thor
• Jeremy Renner…………………………………..Clint Barton/Hawkeye
• Gwyneth Paltrow………………………………..Pepper Potts
• Paul Bettany………………………………………Voice of Jarvis
• Stellan Skarsgård………………………………..Erik Selvig
• Clark Gregg………………………………………..Agent Coulson
• Tom Hiddleston………………………………….Loki

I’m not going to give anything away about the film, but I will say that I would give it 9.9/10, and there were certain places where I nearly wet myself laughing. If you haven’t seen the film, and you are a fan of action films, then this is a must.
