Review Detail

This is the closest thing to an extended director's cut of The Avengers you'll ever get; while not all the deleted scenes are necessary, it's nice to see them flawlessly integrated (Stan Lee now has a double cameo and it's finally explained the focus of the theatrical version on the waitress, which honestly should've remained in the final version).
Overall, it's a solid work and a good alternative to one of the greatest superheroes movies of all time.
