The Avengers

Simple eye candy where all matters of CGI are displayed on film? Sure, it is. The difference this time is that there is a real story, albeit farfetched. This film has the distinction to bring together many Super-heroes that have graced the big screen in recent years to pool their resources and talents to save the World from a terrifying menace that would reduce humanity to nothing more than an ant hill. It’s the classic good vs. Evil battle. Guess who wins? To its merit, the film underlines the character flaws of these larger than life beings. Can one be complete sane when omnipotent? The question had to be raised. Not my usual kind of film, but effective. It is noteworthy that Robert Downey Jr. ’s usual amusing presence raises the quality of the whole.
