     Earth’s mightiest heroes assemble in this rousing box office bonanza that features all of your favorites from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Remember Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye? Well they’re all back in business, ready to suit up and take on a potentially Earth shattering situation. Thor’s brother Loki has made his way to Earth, the Tessaract (introduced in Captain America: The First Avenger [2011]) on his mind. Nick Fury (agent of S.H.E.I.L.D.) has a plan to counter any and all threats made against the planet; he’s been recruiting a freak show of talent (watch Iron Man [2008], The Incredible Hulk [2008], Iron Man 2 [2010], Thor [2011] and Captain America: The First Avenger) to put the controversial Avengers Initiative into action. But can these hot headed heroes get past their own differences before Loki brings devastation to Earth? All of the other films have been leading up to this one; multiple characters from the series pop up from time to time. Though it takes a while to warm up the film delivers with a slam-bang third act. Final note: this movie may not be the best introduction for newbies who haven’t seen the prior entries. For those of us familiar with the series it’s just good fun. AKA Marvel’s The Avengers, Marvel Avengers Assemble.
