I've seen a lot of bad movies in my day. This one wins.
There's literally nothing redeemable about this movie. It has no idea what it's tone is, it jumps from scene to scene in ways that make Micheal Bay seem restrained, and the writing is just... so... BAD...
Whose bright idea was it to cast Eddie Izzard and have him never speak?! That's like casting Gene Kelly and having him not dance or sing, or casting Matthew McConaughey and having him keep his shirt on. Speaking is what he DOES. "The Avengers" feels like it was edited with a weed whacker—which it all but was, and there's nothing left. No chemistry, no sense, no logic, no setup, no drama, no excitement, no life, no color, no tickey, no shirty... Nothing'.
Bottom line: when you see a sub-20 metascore for a movie, BELIEVE IT.
