The Avengers (2012) Reviews: What Critics Said
Critics in 2012 largely hailed The Avengers as a witty, well-balanced ensemble blockbuster, crediting Joss Whedon's writing, Mark Ruffalo's Hulk and Tom Hiddleston's Loki, while noting a thin plot and faceless villains.
Yes, according to most critics: Joss Whedon's team-up is funny, fast and generous to its large cast, though some found the plot thin and the stakes low. This is a roundup of published reviews; Celluloid has not rated it.
