ViDEO Simply Marvel-ous! “These people shouldn’t be in the same room let alone on the same team. And that is the definition of family.” Fanboy-director Joss Whedon led MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS to a record-breaking weekend last May, thanks largely to the appeal of source films like Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and Thor. But the film’s triumph on its own terms (sequel in 2015) comes from the ensemble effort on show here. The Hulk has far better dental hygiene than we expected. Like the muscly originals who once shared a comic book frame under Jack Kirby’s hand, each of these acting greats has checked his or her ego at the door for a larger purpose—to save the Earth. It’s under siege by Thor’s evil brother Loki, allied with the H.R. Gigeresque Chitauri army to open a space portal on our planet and invade, turning all of NYC into a battle-zone. If Downey, Johansson, Samuel L. and company don’t work out a plan to locate the mysterious Tesseract cube from aboard their cloud-borne aircraft carrier, the Chitauri are sure to follow through with theirs. A two-and-a-half-hour epic that puts every dollar of its quarter-billion budget on the screen, it’s as familiar as a superhero flick ought to be, yet revolutionary in its way.—Richard Gould
