Avengers assemble!
When you’re dealing with movie franchises, survivability is at least as important as plot, and Marvel has a whole lotta franchise built into The Avengers, which capitalizes on the two Iron Man movies, two vastly different Hulk movies, and last summer’s one-two punch of Thor and Captain America. And there are more to come.

In action movies, that’s often the first thing abandoned, and it certainly is here … at least for the first hour or so. After the heroes assemble in The Avengers following some set-piece smash-‘em-ups, we get more of the character.
