If you have not seen “Marvel’s The Avengers” yet this is a spoiler alert. The Avengers world premiere was on Apr. 11, 2012. Creators of the film got the idea for the movie after the movie Iron Man ‘s success in 2008. Before Marvel could release The Avengers, they had to release movies for the rest for the rest of the team of The Avengers. After Apr. 2008 release of Iron Man, came the Jun. 2008 release of The Incredible Hulk, then came Thor in May 2011, and finally the release of Captain America: The First Avenger in Jul. 2011.
In the beginning of the movie, Nick Fury, director of the agency S.H.I.E.L.D., is introduced. He is portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson does a good job of being agent Fury, but in the comics, Nick Fury is a caucasian male with brown hair, usually wearing a tight blue and gray jumpsuit. They could have found another actor that could have played Nick Fury as he is in the original comics.
In the movie, Hawkeye, who also goes by agent Clint Barton, is supposed to be the world’s greatest archer. I am not too familiar with techniques in archery, but an amateur could do better. I searched for techniques in archery at, http://www.stickemarchery.com/stickemcart/Shooting-Tips-Guide.aspx, and compared it to that of Jeremy Renner’s.
Renner uses two arm guards to stop the bow and arrow from smacking his arm. Some beginners don’t even use one. I also checked out how he draws back his arm, the position he puts it in, and how he holds the bow, it is completely wrong. Archers should hold the bow with the inside of their elbows facing inwards toward your body, but Renner has the inside of his elbow facing upwards. Another flaw he has is how he pulls back his arm for the arrow. He pulls his arm back, but it goes upwards. The arm should rest straight, so the elbow is lined up with the back of the arrow. I found visuals of his techniques here, http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/03/avengers-hawkeye-archery/.
The one thing they did good about Hawkeye is making him more modernized. His attire in the old comics is a blue and purple suit with a half- face mask that resembles a hawk. His new attire is a black jumpsuit with no sleeves and a maroon-brown design in the middle, and no mask with would be better if he considers visibility for archery.
In the Hulk movie released in 2008, actor Edward Norton, played Bruce Banner (The Hulk). He did a great job playing The Hulk. When I first saw The Avengers and when they introduced Bruce Banner, I was shocked to see that someone else was playing him. I thought that this new actor, Mark Ruffalo, would completely mess up playing The Hulk, but he actually did a better job than Edward Norton. He looked more like the part, and he showed the right type of attitude and intelligence while being Bruce Banner. I am glad that Marvel has signed him for a deal of five more movies.
I loved every other part of the movie. All of the actors played their parts perfectly. Whoever picked Scarlett Johansson to play the Black Widow (Agent Natasha Romanoff) did a great job. She looks just like the Black Widow from the comics, and acts perfectly as a spy.
On a scale of one-ten, I would give The Avengers an eight. This is because some technical errors, and because of some of the opinions I stated earlier. Most of the characters in the movie are correct to the comic books. Both in the looks, and in the attitude and the way they talk. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, I highly suggest that you do.
