Marvel's Avengers or whatever it's called in your country is the culmination of the Marvel movies that have been released promising a massive team-up between the Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and more.
The ambitious film does a decent job of weaving together the various heroes so that it feels like they all serve a purpose in the film. It might seem, on first glance, hard to swallow that a film will find a character like Hawkeye as important as Thor, and one might be afraid the stalwart Captain America would be short-changed by the immensely popular Iron Man, but thankfully the characters are given reasonably equitable amounts of screen-time.
Superhero films tend to be somewhat predictable, but despite the amount of promotional material released, that's one thing the film is not. I'm writing a spoiler-free review, but all I can say is that when you think you know where the film is headed, Dr Banner and his alter- ego manage to mix things up.
In typical Marvel style, there are some loose ends and some mid/post-credits scenes. Stick around for the mid-credit scene if you're a longtime Marvel fan, but the end-credit scene adds very little to the experience unless you're extremely hardcore.
Highly recommended for anyone who's into superhero films. For everyone else, it's an exciting action film, but if you haven't seen the other Marvel films (especially Thor), it's going to be hard to follow, but just sit back and enjoy the ride.
