(This review will have no spoilers at all, so its safe to read if you haven&#8217;t seen the movie.) It was everything a Nerd could want from a comic book movie and more. More importantly it puts director Joss Weadon up to the level (which most of us always knew he was capable of) of a big blockbuster movie director. You can really see the love and knowledge he has for the characters and the Marvel universe. And he even does his famous thing he always does with a character you grown to love &#8230; watch the movie, don&#8217;t want to spoil it for you.<\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/somewhatnerdy.com\/home\/avengers-review-by-snarfkris\/166115_joss-whedon-the-avengers-will-be-fun-for-everybody\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8868\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8868 aligncenter\" title=\"166115_joss-whedon-the-avengers-will-be-fun-for-everybody\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/166115_joss-whedon-the-avengers-will-be-fun-for-everybody.jpg?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/166115_joss-whedon-the-avengers-will-be-fun-for-everybody.jpg?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/166115_joss-whedon-the-avengers-will-be-fun-for-everybody.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/166115_joss-whedon-the-avengers-will-be-fun-for-everybody.jpg?resize=250%2C250&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/166115_joss-whedon-the-avengers-will-be-fun-for-everybody.jpg?resize=56%2C56&amp;ssl=1 56w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/166115_joss-whedon-the-avengers-will-be-fun-for-everybody.jpg?resize=125%2C125&amp;ssl=1 125w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/somewhatnerdy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/166115_joss-whedon-the-avengers-will-be-fun-for-everybody.jpg?resize=55%2C55&amp;ssl=1 55w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4>Full of action (which includes about a 30 minute fight scene) and full of humor but not in a slap-stick kind of way.
