Whoever who said The Avengers' storyline was terrible should be shot.
So, on Labour Day, me and some friends tried our lucks to watch The Avengers at Plaza Sing.
I know, right? Trying to watch a movie when its just released in one of Singapore's most popular shopping mall sounds impossible. But we got the tickets.
It was a 9:xx pm show and we didn't really take long to get them. Although they were front row seat and we got the tickets at around 7pm.
But in any case, the movie delivered what its hype was after. A good comic book story with well-controlled amounts of humour, action, drama and suspense. At no point of the movie did I feel that there was too much drama or too much suspense.
Robert Downy Jr and Chris Evan portrayed the relationship between Captain America and Iron Man very well. They question each other's beliefs, have totally opposite personalities but respect each other's strengths very much.
Although Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner played their roles well too, portraying the relationship of Black Widow and Hawkeye equally well. BW just wants to save a friend while Hawkeye just wants to kick Loki's ass.
Animation done with the Hulk was incredible & believable. I didn't need 3D to see how realistic he was. Not that 3D makes anything realistic though.
Mark Ruffalow fit his role as Bruce Banner very well. Bruce Banner is a scientist who has stress issues, not a hot guy who's only issue what his mirror tells him every morning. Also, his acting was amazing;he shows how Banner controls his own anger my making himself calm. People may think that he was monotonous though.
Overall, I definitely recommend it. I'd give it about 8/10 with some issues of duration (The early story taking too much time and final battle being slightly short but still good) and a small plot hole I found.
The story is separate from previous movies (Ironman1&2, Thor, Capt A) but it pays homage to them. You don't need to catch all the other movies to understand the plot.
Of course, its always good to hear a second opinion from others. So feel free to leave your opinion behind.
Cheers.
