So many years in the making, having to sit through some great (and not so great) Marvel films, all for it to culminate into a full fledged Avengers film. Between 2000-2008 we sat through 3 X-Men films, 2 Fantastic Four movies, 2 Blades, 3 Spider-Mans, 1 Hulk, 1 Punisher, 1 Daredevil, 1 Elektra and a Ghost Rider film. Most of the movies above didn't do so well, and an Avengers film seemed unlikely.
Out comes Iron Man in 2008 and everything changed. Not only did we get a great introduction to Iron Man, but the ending sparked the beginning of what became the Avengers. Out came the Hulk, Thor and Captain America films (along with a 2nd Iron Man flick) and so assembled The Avengers.
With so much hype, with so many different characters and storylines, how could each character get enough time to shine and would it be a jumbled mess anyway? Thankfully, what we got was the complete opposite of that.
All the important characters got their time, all the secondary characters got their time, the action was great, the villain was top notch, tidbits of comedy here and there, and lots of potential for future movies were revealed (even if not so clearly). The acting was top notch and at this point, it seems pretty easy to believe that no one else can play these characters anymore. They've been cemented into these roles and cannot and should not be replaced.
Whatever is in store for future Avengers flicks and Marvel flicks as a whole, this movie is a superhero classic.
