The Avengers

[Ender]

I don't think I can give it 5/5, honestly, but I will go with a 4.5/5. There were parts of this movie that really dragged and did not seem to fit all that well with the plot. And this is a simple plot, so I don't think there was much of a need for that.

The actors didn't have much chemistry... less than I hoped anyway. They all performed exceptionally well in their respective solo movies prior to this one, but when they had them interact it seemed shaky at times. The real glue that held everything together was Robert Downey Jr, of course. He single-handedly saved this detail of the movie. But he was just as good in both Iron Man movies.

I am not crazy about the actor that plays Loki... he was pretty annoying at times rather than believably sinister.

Don't get me wrong though... the last 1/3 or so of the movie kicked ass and pretty much made you forget about any flaws.
