In Bulgarian Cinemas from 4 May 2012

Отмъстителите / The Avengers - With The Avengers director and co-writer Joss Whedon has definitely a tough task on his shoulders - how to make a movie with so many strong characters and to not under- or overestimate the screen presence of any of them? He, however, not only achieves that but brings a film that is even better than the sum of its parts. Taking into account that The Avengers is just Whedon's second foray into cinema direction, the result at the end is really marvellous (yes, I've gone that path). The makers of the movie, helped by Marvel who always insist on protecting their children, not only pay attention to every detail but fill the script with great one-liners, memorable scenes and even more memorable spectacle. And if you think that the action within Avengers' airbase in the middle of the film could not be topped, just wait until the final battle on the streets of New York - it's a triumph of visual effects, choreography, cinematography and ambitious directing. And if the geek inside you do not scream with joy during these scenes, watching your heroes protecting the world, then it's better to go and check your pulse. Speaking of the characters, everyone gets his/her moment to shine, though many will come out of the cinemas wishing to see more of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.'s charisma is as always irresistible) and of Hulk as Marvel has finally managed to pull a really astonishing Hulk - ferocious but extremely funny. Without going the spoiler way, there are two or three Hulk-related moments that will enter the folklore of comic-related greatness. Oh, and last, but definitely not least, proving that every fantastic movie needs a remarkable villain, The Avengers has a strong ace up its sleeve - Loki and the meticulous performance by Tom Hiddleston. He is really really evil and he knows it. I know that some critics loathe the idea of giving a great summer entertainment movie five stars, but I have no such dilemmas... Bring on part 2!
