    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Robert Downey Jr. kept food hidden all over the lab set, and apparently nobody could find where it was, so they just let him continue doing it. In the movie, that's his actual food he's offering, and when he was eating, it wasn't scripted, he was just hungry.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 22 mins) When the helicarrier starts to go down, Nick Fury tells Iron Man, "Stark, we're losing altitude," and display inside Iron Man's faceplate is counting down from about 15,000 feet. A few minutes later when Fury glances at a display on the bridge, it is counting down from 18,000 feet.
    • Quotes

      Steve Rogers: Thor, what's his play?

      Thor: He has an army, called the Chitauri. They're not of Asgard or any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the Earth. In return, I suspect, for the Tesseract.

      Steve Rogers: An army. From outer space.

      Bruce Banner: So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for.

      Thor: Selvig?

      Bruce Banner: He's an astrophysicist.

      Thor: He's a friend.

      Natasha Romanoff: Loki has them under some kind of spell. Along with one of ours.

      Steve Rogers: I wanna know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here.

      Bruce Banner: I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats. You can smell crazy on him.

      Thor: Have a care how you speak! Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard and he is my brother!

      Natasha Romanoff: He killed eighty people in two days.

      Thor: He's adopted.

    • Crazy credits
      The Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures logos are seen within the Tesseract.
    • Alternate versions
      The scene where Loki stabs Agent Coulson exists in two versions. The original version shows the weapon piercing Coulson's body, the cut version does not. In various territories (Germany, Switzerland, Russia, United Kingdom and Ireland), the cut scene was used for the DVD release (why this was done i.e. for the German release is unknown, since it would not have changed the rating).

    A Stunning Visual Effects-Driven Spectacle
    'Avengers Assemble' ('The Avengers') is a truly enjoyable superhero film that lives up to its hype and creates a story that allows for four of the greatest superheroes to connect in this mega-blockbuster extravaganza. Joss Whedon has created one of the most action-packed Marvel films to have graced the screen, full of humour, thrills and a great cast of characters, all of which impel this visual effects-driven spectacle. Whilst I had the great opportunity to watch this epic in the cinema in 3D, the film is equally as stunning on an average television set, with the final battle between the Avengers and Loki's army being one of the most spectacular scenes in a superhero movie. An impressive and remarkable fantastical superhero flick from Whedon.
