So it brings together Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Nick Fury and Loki....yes yes Loki is the bad guy, but he's there...and he's pretty cool actually...so we'll count him as well..
The world is in danger (cos Loki has some grand plans and all that) but the real reason why Avengers is so awesome is the smaller points. Forget Stark's suit, Hawk eye's cool bow and arrow contraption and Thor's hammer ( no pun intended)...the real moments are in the dialogue. Full marks to the main man..Joss Whedon for picking up this Hulk of a movie (pun intended) and creating small moments all through it that you have to love. For anybody who doubted Whedon's ability to take this cast of the biggest superheroes the world has seen and make a relatively memorable movie...in your face!! He's nailed it and how!!
So what are the small points? Here's a few:
during the fight scene between Thor and Iron Man in the jungle somewhere...
Thor: You know not what you do..( or some such)
Iron Man: Oh? Shakespeare in the Park? ok. Doth thou mother know that you weareth her drapes?
I mean....that was ROTFLMAO!! It was just perfectly set up and delivered!
Thor: Watch what you say. He's my brother (Or some such)
Black Widow: He just killed 80 people in 2 days...
Thor: (Without missing a beat) He was adopted
You just had to laugh out loud!!! Brilliant!
When Stark meets Banner for the first time...
Stark: Dr. Banner...I love your work on (some scientific thingy)...and especially the way you turn into an uncontrollable green rage monster...
Banner: hmm...Thanks
Now, credit must got o Ruffalo for a great Hulk. He seemed like this little harmless little man who was trying his best to hide from everything. Unassuming and very quiet. A good Banner to the big bad Hulk..
One of my favourites...this was a very onlique reference and most people probably didn't get it...
When Stark walks in and talks about something (again sciency stuff and I don't remember the exact dialogue because the next line was so awesome...) he looks at Thor and goes...
Stark: Ok Point Break..what is it..
Point Break of course being a reference to Thor's haircut which is similar to Patrick Swayze's from the movie....wait for it.....Point Break!! I mean come on...you have to love it!!
Awesome Dialogue #5:
Again a movie reference....and again...one of my favourites!!
When Captain Rogers.....or Captain America...if you prefer it...is giving orders to the troops of super awesome heroes...he orders Hawkeye to take a position up top to survey and give tactical help. He asks iron Man to sly up high and attack...So Haekeye asks Iron Man to give him a lift upto the top of the building...and then...Stark calls him.....you have to love this.......Legolas!! That's right!! The archer dude from LOTR!! I mean how cool is that!! Superheroes referencing fantasy movies!! priceless!!
Awesome Dialogue #6:
Ok and this has to be the "Take the cake" dialogue of them all!!
So Captain America gives everybody directions and then he turns to Hulk...so now you expect him to say something like..."And you Hulk...make sure you take out as many of them as you can and cover the rest of us.."
But no! He does something totally cool....he just takes the most awesome Hulk dialogue of all time (and probably the most famous comic dialogue and turns it on its head...)
He turns to Hulk and says....
And Hulk...Smash!
I mean...that is just pure genious!! I think even Hulk liked it!!
So that's it from me!! All reasons why the Avengers is the record breaking, super...superhero movie you have to watch and later...own! (On DVD of course...or blu ray...I don't condone piracy!!)
So...until the next Marvel super hero movie...I'm going to go relive these moments....(yes...I have a very lame life!)
