Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Captain America and Iron Man must come togeher to fight off Loki and a horde of marauding aliens. Cue opening set piece, talky exposition with minor set piece action followed by extensive mayhem.
The mayhem is on an incredibly grand scale and a joy to watch but what keeps it ticking over is snappy repartee courtesy of director JJ Abrams who blends masterfully, comic geek reference with zippy one-liners to embellish what is a paper thin plot.
With so many characters and so many set-up films preceding, little time is given to fleshing out the characters but the bickering and teasing means come the end, you'll probably wish you could join them all for a schwarma. If only all comic adaptations were this good.
