For fans, the road from the first Iron Man film in 2008 to Avengers Assemble in 2012 was an almost unbearably long one. The wait was more than worth it. Director Joss Whedon manages to give each character their big moment without allowing any to overshadow the group. Of course, big characters need big actors to portray them, and I would go as far to say here they are flawless. Newcomer to the franchise, Mark Ruffalo, makes an even better Bruce Banner than predecessors Eric Bana and Ed Norton, while Downey Jr, Hemsworth and Evans effortlessly slip back into the roles of Ironman, Thor and Captain America respectively. The cast, the story and the special effects are all perfect resulting in a movie that will go down as a classic of this or indeed any genre.
