The Avengers
復仇者聯盟

It is the movie that superhero fans have been eagerly awaiting for years. After starring in their own films, characters like Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America will finally appear together in a new blockbuster movie, The Avengers.
 這就是超級英雄的粉絲多年來一直熱切等待的電影。像是鋼鐵人、索爾和美國隊長等角色們主演他們自己的電影後，終於要在一部新的強檔鉅片──《復仇者聯盟》中一起出現了。

The adventure begins when a mysterious enemy threatens the safety and security of the world. To save the planet, Nick Fury must act fast. As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., a secret law-enforcement agency, Fury decides to assemble what he calls “a group of remarkable people.” To defeat the foe, however, these superheroes must learn to work together as a team.
 這場冒險起於一個威脅世界安全與防禦的神秘敵人。為了拯救地球，尼克．福瑞必須趕快行動。尼克．福瑞身為一個機密執法機構神盾局的局長，決定召集他稱為「一群非凡人類」的團隊。然而，為了打敗敵人，這些超級英雄必須學習團隊合作。

The bar has been set high for The Avengers. Earlier movies featuring the characters in this film have been very successful. Robert Downey Jr. won praise in 2008 for his performance in the box-office hit Iron Man. The sequel, Iron Man 2, was just as well received. Chris Evans starred in Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011. This film was another commercial and critical success. In that same year, the movie Thor earned even more money at the box office and made a star out of Chris Hemsworth, the actor who played the Norse god.
大眾對《復仇者聯盟》的期望很高。之前由此片中角色主演的電影已經非常成功。小勞伯．道尼二○○八年在賣座強片《鋼鐵人》中的演出贏得讚賞。續集《鋼鐵人2》也同樣獲得好評。克里斯．伊凡二○一一年在電影《美國隊長》中挑大樑。這部電影也是一部獲得商業票房與評論肯定的片子。同年，電影《雷神索爾》在票房上更為吸金，並且讓飾演那位古斯堪地納維亞之神的演員克里斯．漢斯沃成為電影明星。
