I AM HULK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Powerhouse, the boiling bed, the grizzly, machismo and the Ultimate hammer-head, he knows how to pump up your very source of adrenaline.
I regret that I watched this movie late- but it was due to my exams that I wasn’t able to do so. But if you still haven’t seen it yet, I tell you bluntly, you are a fool!
‘Avengers’ is the best super-action movie I have ever seen!!!
It’s not due to the story, not due to the theme, not due to the super-star cast. The real hero of this movie was the awesome special effects and of course, that includes Hulk.
The arena is all set. We have Ironman, Hawkeye, Thor, Hulk, CaptainAmericaand Black Widow to set the stage on fire. And what are they facing? Gargantuan, bulk bio-mechanical aliens with a centralized connection system, they lay down theNew York Cityto dust, smoke and metallic rubble.
There wasn’t a single moment that you actually feel bored or out of place. This movie kept me glued to the screen throughout.
Now, for the characters…..
Hawkeye: He is a good guy, turned bad guy, then once again into a good guy. Don’t let his metamorphosis confuse you. Because his explosive arrow (for those who understand ‘brahmasthra’!) indeed made me reminiscent of the good old fight between Hindu Gods and Demons. He is good, but still, just a little bit less than the others.
Black Widow: Don’t even dare take her at her face value. She is never what she appears to be. She is docile and meek when she wants to leech out information from you, but ruthless and super daring when she stomps down the aliens to their gory end. Best scene- The way she takes control of the alien ship. She may soon stump down Emma Watson as my favourite heroine.
Thor: He is a force to reckon with, literally. The power to wield thunderbolts never ever ceases to amaze me. And it didn’t in this movie. There was an awesome fight sequence between Ironman and Thor. Best Scene: The way he makes the entire skyscraper an electric conductor and focuses the electricity on the warp hole, blowing the bulky, snaky aliens to smithereens.
CaptainAmerica: Though low on actual power, he can still wield his shield and send Thor flying away distances. He is the Captain Cool, one who likes to plan out things and do accordingly. A tad old-fashioned (of course he is old-fashioned- he is old, the scientists literally thawed him back to life!!) but he more than makes up with his patriotism and his iron-will to see it through the end.
Ironman: A billionaire, genius and a philanthropist. Ironman is indeed the superhero with panache. He can be the style icon for all the superheroes- the way he undoes his suit is awesome, uber cool gadgetry, superb dialogues and a sexy iron suit that can do cool different tricks. Oh Man! He was simply superb. Of course he takes away the cake, when he directs the nuclear missile through the warp hole and into the heart of the alien stronghold.
Hulk: No comparison. He, according to me, was the life and soul of this movie. Well, I must complain- that these Hollywood blockbusters always showIndiain poor light, even though that part does not representIndiaas a whole. Maybe they have the ‘Great Indian Poverty Fetish’ or the ‘Dharavi Syndrome’. Well, but this feeling of being disparaged does not last long as we soon see the Doctor ‘awakening the green bulky giant within’ and being transformed into Hulk. There are actually three ‘City Moment of Success’ related to him. 1) The way he pounds the great snaky alien to dust. 2) The way he punches Thor. 3) Now this was the best scene of the move- he thrashes up Loci in the very Chota Bheem style- that was awesome. I can still remember the reaction that Loci gave…..
Maybe it doesn’t have much of a story. But alien invasion movies are not meant to have one. What they are meant to have is spectacular fireworks, and this had those aplenty.
Every time, I see a movie like this- my heart pumps faster, my whole body gets filled with tout electrical energy. It is as if, I were a character inside the movie. I loved the feeling, I loved the movie.
Miss it at your own peril…
