Review: "The Avengers 3D movie review"

For the first time, superheroes gather together for a movie. Although the idea is not new in the world of comic books. The Avengers is based off on the popular comic book from Marvel. But it's only now, we get to see an adaptation by Joss Whedon. I must say he's pretty good. He has also produced and written the recent horror comedy, The cabin in the wood, which is the best recent horror movie. In here, he has packed explosive action, tension and humour into one movie.

The story: It is pretty simple actually. Loki's bent on controlling the world. S.H.I.E.L.D has to stop him before it's too late. And that means recruiting superheroes. Time for the Avengers. For a movie like this, story is not as important as characters' development. Characters' development is very important in this as you see superheroes with different backgrounds working together for the first time ever. But Joss has never forgotten about the action. The movie starts off with a bang with Loki arriving earth. The major action pieces are cool and fun to watch. It even features the best action scenes in a Marvel Comic movie and sets the bar of the action high even for other superhero movies. Acting wise is alright. The superheroes are what they are from previous movies. Music is good. It, at times, is epic. Special effects are good.

3D: It is actually a mix-bag. I didn't expect a lot from it as it is post-converted. Well, the depth is there. You can see the characters separated from the backgrounds. The good 3D comes in when there is an action scene. No idea why. During the climax, the 3D is at its best. So overall, the 3D is alright but it could be so much better if it is filmed in 3D.

Overall: It is a solid entertaining blockbuster that set the bar high. It not only features explosive action and great special effects but it also has characters' development and humour. It is a great blockbuster to start off for the year. It seriously set the bar high for Marvel Comic movies in terms of action and decently-paced story. Avengers Assemble!
