no need to avenge The Avengers

Last night, or rather extremely early this morning The Avengers was released in theatres across the United States in midnight premieres. This movie is probably the most anticipated film of this year, more than Spiderman, the Hunger Games, and in, at least my opinion, the Dark Knight Rises. With all that hype and build up with the wrong script and direction this film could have been a really big hit or a really big miss. Luckily for fans it was the former.

Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton aka Hawkeye

For the most part we've seen the actors in their roles because of the former films that were released, and we know that they have been successful casting choices. The two new cast members brought in were Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton (Hawkeye) and Mark Ruffalo taking over the role of Bruce Banner (the Hulk). I love Mark Ruffalo, but I was a little wary going in with him, mainly because I am such a huge Edward Norton fan, but out of all the recent Bruce's (Eric Bana, Edward Norton, Mark Ruffalo) Mark was by far my favorite and I believed him the most as Bruce. (I am still holding out for a movie starring both Edward Norton and Robert Downey Jr.) Renner didn't have as big of a part as most of the other members of the Avengers, but he does well with what he's given and he's as bad ass as they come. I want to take special notice of Clark Gregg who plays Agent Phil Coulson, he was a minor secondary character, but man does he deliver in a big way. 

The movie is packed with action, some drama, and perfectly timed comedy, especially the quips delivered by Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), and even the Hulk and Thor have some witty moments. With Joss Whedon at the helm, I wouldn't have expected anything less. Because the movie has barely been released, I am refraining from posting any spoilers here, and will leave with this...You Need To See This Movie. No Questions. No Ifs, Ands, or Buts.
