The Avengers Review


The Avengers could have been a train wreck but thankfully it did something that very few films in general can do. Having this many main character's that have already proven their worth come together in one giant film was a huge task and I have to get the director a lot of credit. Joss Whedon has had to deal with this in the past and it shows that he knew what to do with this many iconic super heros in one film. I'm very thankful they gave him the job. I stated in the review that I was disappointed with the films score. I have many different examples of score music that played a major role in the way we experience films but I want to use The Dark Knight as this example. Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard crafted such an iconic score for the Joke. You remember the music as much as the action or the acting. The music in The Dark Knight brings the film to another level emotionally. Look at the classic film "Halloween" The director screened the film for a group of studio heads without the score music and they hated the film but once he added in the classic Halloween score music it took the film to another level. It gave The Shape a new depth that wasn't in the film before the score music was added. My point is clear and I think a lot of people agree with me that the score could have been a lot better.

  1. Good review Jason. For the past 4 years, Marvel has been building and building this movie up and it finally lives up to every promise ever made. It's fun, hilarious, action-packed, and filled with all of our favorite characters and superheros from these stories.
