Films in 100: The Avengers (2012)

The Avengers (Joss Whedon, 2012)
Starring: Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Stellan SkarsgÄrd and Samuel L. Jackson
 
Great fun, snappy dialogue and decent special effects. Every fan boy (or girl, as the case may be) was surely waiting with baited breath for the ultimate comic-book movie, which saw Marvel's most loved heroes team up to save the world, and Joss Whedon did not disappoint. The plot was arbitrary and sat on the back burner as witty dialogue and one liners took to the fore, leaving audiences howling, cheering and routeing for their favourite Avenger to come out on top. The ending fight sequence was spectacular, providing a pace in which the length is not noticed. An ideal blockbuster. Good job, Whedon.

4/5
