This is a good director-focused review of the film. I agree with everything. The action is very well done. The movie is extremely funny. Tony Stark was great, way better than the dedicated Iron Man films.
I am not all that familiar with Whedon's past work. I obviously know the name, but didn't watch the shows. Clearly the sum of everything else he had done before was a tiny speck compared to what he had the chance to do with The Avengers. He hypothetically could have ruined his career, or at least his chance to ever make a blockbuster again. He didn't. This is what he will be known for, at least for a while.
