Marvel's The Avengers (2012): Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Tons of Superhero Action...


     Directed by Josh Whedon, and drawing from characters created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Marvel's The Avengers (2012) was instantly hailed upon it's release as one of the best Superhero movies of all time. Granted the huge-budget funds after the success of Iron Man (2008), the CGI and art direction teams went above and beyond what had been accomplished before (or since) in the genre. The film is simply dazzling. With the combined forces of Iron Man, The Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor and Captain America, The Avengers holds unparalleled cinematic power and bravado. The cast is amazing, including Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Stellan Skarsgard, Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Renner and Gwyneth Paltrow.
