Rated The Avengers 9/10

The Avengers is every bit as good as I hoped it would be, and feared it wouldn't be. It takes all the great qualities of the prequel movies, improves on that, and ditches the bad and unnecessary stuff. The script is compelling, Joss Whedon plays this perfectly; the action sequences are superbly paced and importantly, not overly long and drawn out; every wise crack his the mark with the whole audience, not just me laughing as the only geek in the room; and the actors do a great job, with special marks going to Ruffalo for his Banner/Hulk and Hiddleston for Loki. While I'm sure you'll find better movies this year, I doubt you'll find one more genuinely entertaining. Like the perfect fairground ride, my overriding thought as I left the cinema was, "can we go again?"
