Sahara Knight (sezzac155)

//200th movie review. May contain Spoilers//
Where do i start?!?! This movie had me hooked right from the beginning. Where you see Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston break into S.H.I.E.L.D and steal the Tesseract followed by the title screen in witch the Tesseract come into focus towards the audience. By that moment i knew that this film was not only going to be action packed but also have great visual effects. It did have great visual effects from showing the usage of the illusions that Loki cast, too Tony Stark's Iron Man suit and the introduction to the helicarrier, all the way to the climax of the film with the alien invasion and the Assault ships. The CGI was used really well and it seemed as though the assault ships were like a living organism and was 'Transformers'-esqu The 'cloaking' of the helicarrier was also visually stunning. This coupled with the camera shots made the the major battle awesome.
The characters were great too. All the actors and actresses did a great job at portraying there character and made you feel connected to them. It was cool that they had characters such as Black widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) who didn't really have supernatural powers or genius intelligence yet could stand on there own and still be badass in there own right. Another thing what really stood out for me was the humor both physical and dialog was used. Such as when the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) beats and then says "Puny God", and when Loki says "Im listening" in reference to Thor as Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) swept away said character. Joss Wheldon does a brillent job at making all the aspects fit together and this isn't only a great superhero movie but a great movie in general.

This was interesting. I really liked how they not only showed how Professor X aka Charles Xavier and Magneto aka Erik Lehbsherr got there iconic items but also the rise of the X-men as superhero team and Magneto's start of darkness. Although it was perhaps a bit long and dragged out a points i didn't get too bored. The setting was also well placed to tell the story of the film and most of the characters were relatable and had adequate character development. It however, didn't have a lot of action and most of it was in the last half of the film. Overall a good film watch it for the origins.
