I must confess that I'm not really a massive fan of the comic book movies. I don't normally go and see them at the cinema, but someone dragged me along to watch Avengers Assemble.

The plot is predictably simple with an alien enemy threatening security on earth. This means that a team of superheroes are required to defeat the enemy. The superheroes that are recruited include Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and the Black Widow.

The thing that I disliked about the film is the fact that I didn't really care whether any of the characters survived or perished. There are plenty of funny one-liners in the style of the Bond one-liners. It also appears that the actors had a good time making the film. Scarlett Johansson looks particularly good in a cat-suit throughout the movie. The guy that dragged me along to the movie absolutely adored the film, so if you are into comic book movies I'm sure you'll have a blast.
