With the release of the amazing Avengers Assemble on DVD and Blu-ray there of course is a box set with all the movies that make up the Avengers story. I loved the Avengers Assemble and all the other films in the series especially the first Iron Man film i think Robert Downey Jr is great a s Tony Stark and in Avengers his scenes with Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk were some of my favourite as well as the incident between The Hulk and Loci (if you have seen the film you will know what i mean) is one of the best made me laugh so much.
The box set include Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and of course Avengers Assemble for roughly £30 depending on where you get it from. If you haven't already bought the other films in the collection its a great deal because you basically getting all the films for £5 way more than what they would cost individually so its a great deal.
The cheapest i have found the box set was for £29.97 on Amazon so it will be going on my wish list.

I have been looking forward to seeing this film for over a year practically counting down the days till i could see it. With this film if you haven't seen the other films that are part of the series Iorn Man, Captain America and in particular Thor to catch up on what has all ready happened prior to the film.
The story line to this film is the same as most of the
Superhero films is the "end of the world" brought about by Thors brother
Loki (Tom Hiddleston, this is where you have to have seen the film Thor
to understand the family drama between the two) is after a cube of some
sorts, now called the Teseract (seen in Captain America) which has
enough power to end the world and he has teamed up with some form of
aliens to take over the world.
The cast that has been assembled for this film is what really makes the film and the way in which Joss Wheedon has directed the film is brilliant, every character is focused upon at some point during the film and after the usual power struggles that are seen on the screen to unite as a team is one a brilliant thing, Whedon doesn't focus just on one of the characters but makes sure that they each have their share of screen time which is one of the critical things that make this film work. The Cast is superb and they work really well together even though the characters have really big egos on their own and you wouldn't think they would work well together and that is one of the doubts through out the film. Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark/Iron Man is brilliant as he always is, some great lines and jokes and he has great scenes with everybody, plus i love how he spends the whole film in a Black Sabbath T-Shirt. Chris Hemmsworth as the God of Thunder Thor arrives in a bolt of lightening to try and stop his brother from destroying the world. Chris Evans as Steve Rodgers/Captain America has arrived in the modern world not knowing what anything is all he know is how to save the world. Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye and Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romenoff/Black Widow are the master assassins who are member of shield, if you watch Thor closely you will see the Hawkeye's cameo and Black Widow was introduced in Iron Man 2 and are bad ass at what they do, i wouldn't want to mess with them. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Furry is the director of SHIELD and brings all our hero's together to save the world. Mark Ruffalo is the new guy on the block playing Bruce Banner/Hulk i think makes the film as the Hulk he has some great stand out moments and Bruce and Tony have some great screen moments together. It wouldn't be a Marvel film without a cameo from their creator Stan Lee so make sure you keep an eye out for it.
The big fight scene between the Avengers and Loki and his army is brilliant the special effects and how it has all been staged is fantastic especially some of the creatures from the other world.
I loved this film, the action was incredible and the story line was good as it made sure everyone linked together cohesively. I would suggest that everyone should go see this film.
