The Ron’s review published on Letterboxd:
To kind of steal a line from The Rock... FINALLY! THE RON HAS SEEN THE AVENGERS!
This film was like when you get super excited as a kid to do something or go somewhere and it pays off. You have a blast, you drive your parents nuts talking about it, and you bounce off the walls with excitement until you eventually pass out from exhaustion!
My Letterboxd friends know I generally prefer the darker comic book films so I was interested to see what I made of this film. Well call me impressed! Joss Whedon did an excellent job giving us all the action you expect from a film like this, but also managed to deliver excellent snappy dialogue which is what sent it to the next level for me. I liked each character here better than I did in the separate films. Director Joss Whedon also did an excellent job giving each character ample screen time. Much to my surprise even Hawkeye and Black Widow were giving a nice amount of time. All of the performances are solid, the CGI is top notch, the writing is witty and funny, and it all makes for a really fun time watching a movie! See Letterboxd friends It's not all dark for me. I can enjoy a this type of comic book film! It honestly made me wish Whedon had directed the individual films because I probably would of liked them a lot better if he had. Anyway The Avengers gets a very high recommendation from me as I find it hard to believe anyone who would say they didn't find it entertaining.
Now I would like to give you my 2 year old sons dialogue with me during the film. Keep in mind he is two so he gets a little confused as to what characters go with what films sometimes.
