Avengers Assemble

Greetings, Avengers assemble as it is called in the United Kingdom is a movie that has been suggested throughout several of the previous Marvel films including Iron Man. The story revolves around a few of the well known characters, most of whom had received their own films prior to this one but there are a couple who didn’t such as Hawkeye or the Black Widow.

Apparently the plot is linked to the Captain America story, which I have as of yet not seen. The defensive company S.H.E.I.L.D. under the direction of Nick Fury, attempt to create a team of individuals with unique powers or skills in order to protect earth against various forces of evil.

The need to form and unite the heroes into a group becomes more pressing when a power source known as the Tesseract opens up a portal in one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s bases allowing Loki to enter the planet and steal the resource. Loki is a super villain and adopted brother of the superhero Thor, stealing the Tesseract as part of a deal in exchange for an army.

It has a talented cast with likeable characters including Downey’s Iron Man or Hawkeye and has comedic elements throughout the film which suites the story quite well. The plot might not have been the greatest, neither did I know all the characters but that didn’t prevent me from enjoying the experience. Overall if you liked Marvel’s other films, chances are you will like this one as well. The eighteenth chapter of Team X Paranormal Division is up at Warehouse 17.
