A 2-hour-and-20-minute-long hunk of fanboy giddy, "The Avengers" is everything a superhero movie strives to be and more. Not since "The Dark Knight" (and before that, never) has a movie gotten so much of the genre right. In fact, "The Avengers" is the carefree, in-the-light yin to "The Dark Knight's" dead-serious, pitch-black yang; it's hard to even to choose which of the two films is better because each does its job so well in different ways.
