On The Cover: “The Avengers” Endless hype plus stratospheric expectations usually is a formula for crushing disappointment. That’s what makes the success of The Avengers even more amazing than the outsized spectacle it puts onscreen. Writer/director Joss Whedon is able to avoid the pitfalls of so many overstuffed comic-book movies by giving each of the main characters — and this movie has a bunch of them — plenty to do, and creating enjoyable (super) human moments that accomplish far more than just keeping us busy till the next big ’splosion. Weaving together plot threads from six different marvel Comics films, The Avengers assembles iron man (Robert downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris hemsworth), hulk (mark Ruffalo), hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Nick Fury (Samuel l. Jackson) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) to do battle against the nefarious loki (Tom hiddleston) and an invading alien force. The Avengers knows when to be funny, when to be thrilling, and when to insert that extra bit of humanity that takes it far above the call of duty.

There’s such a wide variety of accents that have come out of New Jersey, so i picked mira Sorvino — like the depth in her voice and some of the characters she’s played — because she can camp up her accent.
