"Most impressive of all, The Avengers makes superhero movies new again - a colossal task indeed."
- Joe Neumaier, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS -
"There are moments of genuine pathos, genuine humor, genuine surprise. As much as the film adheres to the strictures of the standard comic-book movie, it also pops with a knowing, loving, Whedon-world jokiness that keeps everything barreling along."
- Amy Biancolli, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE -
"The Avengers has it all. And then some. Six superheroes for the price of one ticket... 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."
- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE -
"The action scenes-blissfully easy to follow-are where Whedon makes the giant leap into the big leagues."
- Joshua Rothkopf, TIME OUT
