Review: "The Avengers" - Joss Whedon assembles a Marvel movie masterpiece

Film Rating: A+ I’m still having trouble processing that I saw “The Avengers” tonight. It’s not just that I’ve been waiting for this movie for four years, ever since Nick Fury first told Tony Stark about the ‘Avengers Initiative’ at the end of 2008’s “Iron Man,” but that the idea of making an “Avengers” film is, in and of itself, so spectacularly absurd that I’m struggling to accept that the movie even exists. Think about it. Four comic-book superheroes originating in four separate film franchises, each rich with their own characters and mythologies, each made with specific voices, tones, and styles, and each required to stand on its own as a quality solo adventure while simultaneously putting the pieces in place for the ultimate team-up. And that’s all before the actual team-up movie is made.
