Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Terryfan This is a 12 minute short film that center around after the events of The Avengers as Agent Blake (Titus Welliver) orders Jasper Sitwell (Maximiliano Hernández) to look for the Chitauri weapon which unfortunately gets into the hands of a young couple Claire (Lizzy Caplan) and Benjamin 'Beenie' Pollock (Jesse Bradford) who use the weapon to rob a bank.Now for a short film they did make it interesting for the Blu Ray release of the Avengers which is how you can watch this film. The film has some good effects and the setting gives us the film of being in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And it does feature a good plot of course it has a mid credit scene as Marvel films are known form. The acting here works well for it plot with some comedy added to the filmSomeone in the music department has a good taste in music since it features "Just what I needed" by The Cars which helps for the film's climax. Overall Marvel One-Shot:Item 47 does make for a interesting bonus film you get on the Blue Ray Copy of The Avengers and it shouldn't be a disappointment if you're a Marvel fan.I give Marvel One-Shot:Item 47 an 7 out of 10

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This 11-minute short films is a decent little spin off from 2012's highest grossing movie, The Avengers. It's by no means bad or great, but tells us a nice little side-story about a couple (I thought the guy looked pretty similar to Colin Farrell) robbing banks with an incredibly fancy shotgun.The two don't seem really evil or sinister, just disappointed one time too many and consequently drifted into crime. The agent at the hunt for the gun manages to confront the couple at a hotel, tricks them with the help of some noisy bass music and finally arrests the two after a short shootout. However, he seems to share my interpretation of Marvel's Bonnie and Clyde motivations, so he shows some heart, gets them decent clothing and employs the two as government agents. There's more of these one-shot short films and watching them makes a good enough way of bridging the time gap till the next superhero from the Avengers bunch lands in our cinemas.

Neil Welch Item 47 is a ten minute short from Marvel Films bundled with the Blu-ray of the Avengers movie. It tells of a couple (Claire, played by Lizzie Caplan, and Ben, played by Jesse Bradford) who recover a Chitauri weapon after the New York battle which closed the Avengers movie, manage to reactivate it, and then use it to commit bank robberies.Ten minutes proves quite enough to set up the situation, provide some development (with decent effects) and a good payoff. This is not a major piece of work, but it is a decent little addition to the Avengers movie mythology. It would not surprise me at all to see Claire and Ben pop up in subsequent Marvel universe movies.

Michiel Bijl This is a nice bonus to the film The Avengers (2012). It shows a couple—Claire and Benny— robbing banks with a piece of alien technology that they've recovered from the NewYork battle site. Eventually we see them in a motel room with a load of money. Their neighbor stars playing music really loud. Benny goes out to investigate, but doesn't return…I actually thought it was a preview for a new Marvel film and got quite excited by the idea. My hopes were shot down when I found it was just a short video. Alas, there's nothing else to do than wait for The Avengers 2.It has some clever moments and is really worth a viewing.
