"...Whedon? Oh god. Whedon's making Avengers? Why?"
That's the reaction I had in like 2011 when I heard he was making it. I went to see it at an iMax 3D showing and enjoyed it. It was, in as pure as you can, entertainment. It was entertaining and still is. It's fun to watch, lots of action.
Yes here's the thing, the more I watch it the more I sigh at it though, the more I see Whedon's stamp on it. I don't like him, don't like his work. I see his writing style in everything he does and it's awful. The man can't write a decent plot, he can't write character interaction that isn't half one-liners and jokes. This shows through in this. In serious moments like "Loki has killed hundreds of people over the last few days." Thor "He's adopted." That isn't the response to your brother murdering people.... but it is a Whedon response.
But eitherway, I'm giving it a 7/10. It is an entertaining film to watch.
Hmm, pie.
