One review said "The avengers have been assemble and, for the most part, they fit together superbly. A joyous blend of heroism and humour that raises the stakes even as it maintains a firm grip on what makes there individual heroes tick." http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?FID=136194
The Guardian said that "For me, no superhero crew with out Kick-Ass's Hit girl could ever be truly awesome, but this one i.e. registering strongly on the awesome-o-meter nonetheless. Its an enjoyable absurd and absurdly enjoyable extravaganza, both delirious and surrealist. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/apr/26/avengers-assemble-review
Another review said "with great power comes great banter in writer/director Joss Whendon's blockbuster multiplier, which isn't the best superhero movie ever - but might well be the funniest"http://www.totalfilm.com/reviews/cinema/the-avengers-assemble
IGN said "We can all rest. They pulled it off! Marvels The Avengers is everything we've been hoping for an exiting superhero team-up film packed with memorable moments. http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/04/27/the-avengers-review
Another review said "The Avengers has it all. And then some. Six superheroes for the price of one ticket: Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow and the Hulk. It's also the blockbuster I saw in my head when I imagined a movie that brought together the idols of the Marvel world in one shiny, stupendously exciting package. It's Transformers with a brain, a heart and a working sense of humor. Suck on that, Michael Bay."http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews/the-avengers-20120430
