The Avengers Volume 3 DVD Review
It’s been a good long while since we last had a go-round with The Avengers series, and the folks out at Disney sent over a copy of The Avengers Volume 3 for us to tackle. And if you liked the first two, chances are you’re going to be very happy with the third installment.
The Avengers Volume 3 is a little heavy on the Iron Man this time around, tackling not only Baron Zemo but even Kang the Conqueror, along with a host of other villains from across a wide variety of canons. They’ll be picking up right where they left off from the last volume, with the Avengers team only just starting out, and already full of lots of cracks and individual personalities butting heads. But can they pull it together to make a complete team? Or will the Avengers fall apart before they can even really get started?
And, as is generally the case, we’ll also get a good load of characters from the rest of the lineup, in sufficient numbers that you’ll either be hitting Wikipedia or a whole load of back issues to keep yourself well acquainted with just who’s who and who’s whose enemy and all like that. Plus, there are plenty of good fight sequences involved and sufficient close shaves to keep things from being too easy for the Avengers, and that certainly improves the watchability here by a pretty nice count.
This has proven to be a pretty good series in its previous two iterations, and volume three won’t be seen to disappoint. There’s a great continuity running through this, as little details from the previous installments actually manage to come back with great effect. This isn’t just some Disney kid’s show, this is a particularly well-written kid’s show, sufficiently good that adults–especially those who are into comic books–will get a big kick out of this one, with plenty of action and some good laughs, as well as a couple of good romantic subplots tossed into the mix.
Whether you’ve got kids who’d appreciate a good old fashioned comic book style action frenzy, or you would appreciate a good comic book style action frenzy, you’ve got everything you need and more right here.
The Screenhead Ten Scale gives The Avengers Volume 3 the same nine out of ten as the others landed, as it’s a lot like the rest. But while it shares a lot in common, there are also plenty of differences that make this well worth watching.
