Raking in millions in its opening weekend, the much-anticipated movie "The Avengers" not only met the high expectations of Marvel fans - it far exceeded them.

Featuring Marvel superheroes Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), and The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), "The Avengers" depicts the men's collective attempt to thwart Thor's brilliant and malevolent brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

The super team is recruited by a peacekeeping agency called S.H.I.E.D. headed by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). With the assistance of Russian spy Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), the agency requests the heroes to recover a dangerous cosmic cube Loki steals from an underground base.

Offering audiences a mixture of humor, drama, and intensity, "The Avengers" keeps viewers on the edge of their seats throughout the film's entirety.

Particularly notable is Robert Downey Jr., whose portrayal of Iron Man consistently adds comedy to the plot. Scarlett Johansson also stands out as Black Widow. She successfully exemplifies her character's cleverness and bravery throughout the movie.

Overall, superior acting and a compelling plot worked together to ensure audiences a positive experience - a fact that became clear when the movie shattered box office records.

According to CNN's official website, "The Avengers" brought in a total of $200.3 million in its opening weekend across 4,300 U.S. theaters. This significantly surpassed the previous record of $168 million held by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2."

Evidenced by its box office success, "The Avengers" is a positive experience not just for Marvel fans, but also for a wide variety of moviegoers. This film is worth every penny spent to see it.
