The Avengers (Avengers Assemble)
Its been 2 weeks since its release date, yet there are others that wants to watch it over and over and over again.... I even heard some saying that they watched the movie 5 times yet never get tired of watching it. I want to watch it again, only if i have time...
What i loved about this film is that it didn't focus on just one character. From Steve Rogers' no-nonsense approach, to Tony Stark's humorous narcissism, to Thor's straight-laced, otherworldly focus, each character feels dead on, and it's almost as fun to see them in the midst of an argument aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier as it is to watch them actually take to the streets and fight either mutual enemies or one another - Yes, as is comic book tradition when superheroes first meet, there is more than one hero vs. hero battle along the way, most of them ridiculously fun.
I spent most of my time watching The Avengers with a huge grin on my face, and I expect that experience will be shared by many others. From seeing fellow scientists Tony Stark and Bruce Banner working together, to Loki and Tony trying to psyche out each other ("I have an army." "We have a Hulk!"), this movie offers one crowd-pleasing sequence after another. With a couple of exceptions, these actors already have experience playing these roles and not only completely inhabit the larger-than-life characters they're playing, but shine all the more when bouncing off one another.
What i loved most are their taglines and humor...
Tony Stark: Dr. Banner, your work is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster.
Bruce Banner: Thanks.
Steve Rogers: Thor, what's his play?
Thor: He has an army, called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract.
Steve Rogers: An army. From outer space.
Bruce Banner: So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for.
Thor: Selvig?
Bruce Banner: He's an astrophysicist.
Thor: He's a friend.
Natasha Romanoff: Loki has them under some kind of spell. Along with one of ours.
Steve Rogers: I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here.
Bruce Banner: I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats. You can smell crazy on him.
Thor: Have a care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard. And he is my brother.
Natasha Romanoff: He killed eighty people in two days.
Thor: He's adopted.
Steve Rogers: Doc... I think now is the perfect time for you to get angry.
Bruce Banner: That's my secret Cap, I'm always angry.
Loki: What have I to fear?
Tony Stark: The Avengers. It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. "Earth's Mighiest Heroes" type thing.
Loki: Yes, I've met them.
Tony Stark: Yeah, takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But let's do a head count here: your brother the demi-god; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and YOU, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them.
Loki: That was the plan.
Tony Stark: Not a great plan. When they come, and they WILL, they'll come for you.
Loki: I have an army.
Tony Stark: We have a Hulk. Oh yeah... There's one more guy you pissed off... His name's Phil.
Steve Rogers: All right, listen up! Until we can close that portal up there, what we need is containment. Barton: I want you on that roof, eyes on everything. Call out patterns and strays. Stark: you've got the perimeter. Anything gets more than three blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash. Thor: you've gotta try and bottleneck that portal, slow them down. You've got the lightning - light the bastards up! [turns to Natasha] You and me: we stay here on the ground, keep the fighting here. And Hulk: smash!
Natasha Romanoff: Doctor, we're facing a potential global catastrophe.
Bruce Banner: Well, those I actively try to avoid.
Natasha Romanoff: This is the Tesseract.
[she shows him a photo of the Tesseract on her cell phone]
Natasha Romanoff: It has the potential energy to wipe out the planet.
Bruce Banner: What does Fury want me to do? Swallow it?
What i loved most is the part where he picked Loki up and started slamming on the floor like a rag doll... And after slamming Loki, he walks away and murmurs, "Some God..."
