User blog:ADour/Avengers Assembled! (a quick review of the movie)

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE! Well, this is a quick review of the biggest movie blockbuster you'll ever see: The Avengers.

Plot
The plot of the movie is simple, Loki negotiates with the Chitauri an army to take Earth in exchange of the Cosmic Cube. Loki stoles the Cosmic Cube, destroying S.H.I.E.L.D.'s HQ in the process and starts building a machine to use it, with a mind-controlled Dr. Selvig and Hawkeye. Meanwhile we see Black Widow in action, the new Stark Tower, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner and the Helicarrier.

Best scenes: Black Widow (she speaks russian!) takes down three guys while Coulson is waiting at the phone like he's hearing a waiting tone. Steve and Nick Fury bet $10 not so much has changed in 70 years, scenes later at the Helicarrier (when he sees it inside) he pays Fury $10.

When Loki is doing an act of "I am your king! Muahaha" in Germany, he's stopped by the Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man and Black Widow). While in a Quinjet, Thor attacks them to take Loki to Asgard.

Iron Man: "Are you afraid of thunders?"

Loki: "No... what it comes next"

Iron Man battles Thor when Captain America arrives to calm things down and state they're in the same side. At the Helicarrier, Loki is put in a special containment unit designed for Hulk. Stark arrives and explains the nature of the Cosmic Cube in his humorous way. Banner and Stark are trying to get a sign of the energy of the Cosmic Cube (which is Gamma, reason why they needed Banner). Stark mocks on Cap as he tells Rogers S.H.I.E.L.D. has secrets, Stark uses J.A.R.V.I.S. to get into top secret files and Captain America does his own investigation. Menanwhile, Coulson (or Hill, I dunno remember) tells Thor that Jane Foster is safe. Widow is interrogating Loki while she explains her life and manages to known he plans to use Banner, or rather Hulk. When she gets to where Banner and Stark are, Nick Fury arrives as Tony tells him he discovered S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to do weapons of massive destruction with the power of the Cosmic Cube, Captain America finds some Cosmic Cube-powered Hydra weapons in a weaponery and wants anwers to Fury as well. Natasha wants to get Banner out while everyone starts discussing, they are irrupted by a computer with the location of the Cosmic Cube.

Meanwhile, a Quinjet reports to the Helicarrier asking for permisson to land, but Hawkeye and the other Loki-possesed agents are in that Quinjet. Using an arrow and his hawk eye, Barton explodes one engine. Alert in the Helicarrier, if another engine goes off, the whole Helicarrier will start loosing height. Iron Man and Captain America tries to repare the engine, Nick Fury, Coulson and Hill are dealing with agents while Widow escapes from Hulk. Thor arrives to the help of Widow as she moves to fight Hawkeye and manages to knock him out (in an amazing fight scene where we have the feeling of a battle to death). Thor can handle the Hulk, at one point Thor drops the Mjolnir and Hulk tries to lif it... He can't (thanks God). A S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot tries to fire to Hulk, result: "Target angry! Target angry!". Hulk jumps to the jet and starts to destroy it, finally, Hulks falls and crashes in Manhattan. Other engine is destroyed and Iron Man makes his way to repare the other, Captain America has problems as he has to handle with some agents (he uses a machine gun!) but they manage to fix it. Thor goes for Loki, who tricks him to put him in the containment unit, Coulson tries to stop him, but he's killed :(

Loki: "Humans says we are inmortal, let's find it out".

Loki makes the containment unit fall from the Helicarrier, but Thor manages to avoid his death, although he falls in the countryside. Loki finally escapes.

Widow is with Barton at the infirmary and Fury tells Cap and Tony he's disappointed and shows Coulson's bloodied Captain America trading cards. They decide to act as they realize Loki is in New York, they use a Quinjet and fly with Widow and Hawkeye. Meanwhile, Banners wakes up in a destroyed warehouse, where he crashed, the guard gives him pants and Thor in the countryside recovers his hammer. Iron Man gets to the Stark Tower where he sees Selvig activating his machine which is opening a portal with the power of the Cosmic Cube, as he can't stop it, he goes down as he sees Loki in the balcony. He takes off his armor and starts talking with Loki, "We have a Hulk" moment and Loki trows Stark through the window, as he falls he activates the new Armor MK VII.

The following scenes may not be in order as it was so epic that I couldn't remember the order, I wasn only paying attention to the epicness

The portal finally opens and the Chitauri arrives, Thor, Iron Man, Widow, Hawkeye and Captain America tries to take down as many Chitauri as possible. Banner arrives to the scene to join the Avengers as Iron Man gets the attention of a Leviathan-like creature to them, Banner goes to the Leviathan as he says: "That's my secret... I'm always angry". he transforms in the Hulk and crushes the Leviathan, but more are coming (FAIL! LOL) Cap divides the team while everyone gets his/her epic moment. Thor blocks the portal by electrocuting Leviathans, Clint uses his sigh to report any problems or whatever... I can't remember anymore... Thor battles Loki but he escapes by tricking his brother and stabbing him (without much damage). Widow gets to the Stark Tower and Selvig (returned to the good side) tells her how to shut down the portal. Meanwhile at the Stark Tower, Hulk battles Loki, he tells Banner he can't attack him because he's inferior: " I am a God! I am not going to be bullied by a - ", but Hulk doesn't give a kcuf and grabs him by the leg, hitting him all over the place (this is the moment when all the theater clapped)... "Puny God".

At the Helicarrier, the World Security Council tells Fury they'll nuke Manhattan. Fury informs Stark and diverts the missile to the portal, nuking Chitauri's ship, apparently it has a vital connection with its soldiers as it explodes, every Chitauri on Earth dies. Iron Man falls from the portal and is catched by Hulk, he's apparently death, our green Goliath roars and scares Tony, waking him up. Back to the Stark Tower, Loki recovers consciousness, but is pointed by Hawkeye and the rest of the Avengers behind him.

Epilogue: Loki is taken by Thor back to Asgard with the Cosmic Cube, Tony and Banner goes in the same car and Steve goes away in his Harley... Back at the Helicarrier, Fury tells Maria that if they needed them, they'll return.

THE END

Oh, wait! After the funny credits (the ones with the 3D things which only mentions the actors and most important names) we see the Chitauri homeland, the Other is telling his lord that the humans are not the cowards they were promised and they can't be ruled... that battling they could be like courting Death... his lord turns his head smiling... IT'S THANOS!

(Apparently there's another post-credit scene which was not put in the version of the film distributed in Latin America)

The Great
Everything, we have funny moments, action-packed fights, and many of them:

Black Widow vs. three guys

Captain America vs. Loki (and Iron Man appears in the end with "Shoot to Thrill")

Hawkeye vs. Black Widow

Thor vs. Hulk

Captain America vs. agents

Iron Man vs. Leviathan

Hulk vs. Leviathan

Captain America vs. Chitauri

Thor vs. Chitauri

Hawkeye and Widow vs. Chitauri

Hawkeye vs. Chitauri

Thor vs. Loki

Hulk vs. Loki

Just great... every character got his/her moment, Whedon did an amazing job, also we have RDjr at his best.

Not so good
The Cosmic Cube is called Tesseract or "cube"... never "Cosmic Cube" :/, well that didn't bother me.

Natasha Romanoff is called "Black Widow" once in all the film.

Clint Barton is called "Hawkeye"... never... only "the Hawk" at the start of the film. >:(

I wanted to see at least a cameo of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne... no :(

Quote to remember
At the Helicarrier Thor: Don't insult him! He is still of Asgard, and he is still my brother! Black Widow: He killed 80 people in 2 days. Thor: ... he's adopted
