Marvel's Avengers Assemble

Last night I went to see Marvel's Avengers Assemble with members of the university Christian Union. It was very last minute, but since it was the last CU before the summer, I figured why not. I'm so glad I went now, as the film was absolutely brilliant. In the past few years, I have enjoyed watching superhero films and Marvel's Avengers Assemble never failed to impress. 

Known in the US as The Avengers, the film is made up of six of Marvel's superheroes: Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), Bruce Banner/The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Natasha Romanov/The Black Widow (Scarlett Johnasson) and Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). 

Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D, which is an international peace keeping agency. However the security of the Earth is threatened by Thor's adopted brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) as he has unleashed The Tesseract which is an unknown energy source and has then activated and opened a portal through space. It is up to Fury and newly assembled team of superheroes to stop Loki and to save the lives of people on the planet. 

If you enjoyed watching films such as Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, then I would recommend watching Avengers Assemble, as it has bucket loads of action, a great villain, eye candy (hello Captain America and Thor!), plus everyone's favourite superheroes are together, so if you are a superhero fan, it's hard not to enjoy this film.
