Some of you must have seen it by now, what did you think? I'd sort of written it off as another okay but not that great action movie, like the recent Thor and Captain America films, and tickets are pretty expensive here in Australia. Then I hear that it's had an absolutely massive opening weekend over in the US, dwarfing anything before it - Transformers, Twilight, Batman, even the final Harry Potter film was humiliated. So it must be good, right? Edit: Whoops, meant to post this in Film and Television, someone please move
I liked it. Some parts were kind of confusing to me at times, mostly because the only hero I actually had seen something from was Iron Man, but it was still entertaining. I have to say I enjoyed God Bless America more, and the same will probably count for The Dark Knight Rises and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (but why the fucking 3D, though?)
To give an honest review of the movie. It was fucking spectacular it was very good, nice action scenes. Each of the characters story's was well done and well put together. When a scene was focused on one character is was focused them. A very good part was when all of the hero's emotions collide in a battle each has different views on what to do and who to trust, so all these personalities collide which was really cool. All in all a very good superhero movie, my only problem is now Batman may suck because it may not be able to beat The Avengers. My favorite hero was Captain America not very obvious I know.
I really doubt this will happen. While both are superhero movies, I think there are a lot of differences between them already, and not just the origin of the heroes. Batman has a more gloomy and dark atmosphere and story, whereas I found The Avengers to be downright funny (and most of the audience seemed to agree, as laughs went through the cinema on several occasions). The enemies seemed to reflect this. While I loved Iron Man and his arrogance and humour, I never really thought he would fit in much with aliens. Speaking of which, that's something the Batman trilogy does extremely well. While it's still a superhero movie with supernatural stuff happening, the villains look...almost realistic, which fits in with the dark atmosphere incredibly well. I liked The Avengers, and I thought it was done very well, but I fully expect The Dark Knight Rises to completely outclass it.
The Avengers was an okay movie, not a great one like The Dark Knight and (in my opinion) Transformer movies. I enjoyed the film of course, it was very fun and nice to watch.
The Dark of the Moon (or whatever it was called) confused me. The main character basically did fuck all (except scream and get in the way), and at the end everyone thought he was some kind of hero. I still don't get it. I also hated just about every single name for everything (Cybertron? Seriously? That's the shittiest name ever). The action scenes were pretty badass, though, with all the debris flying around.
I liked the film, had a great time with a few friends, don't have too much to say about it though. I didn't really want to see it, but a friend dragged me along and I was fine with that. I dislike how loud the bloody theatre is, though.
Went to the movies, Got into a fight with a drunk/stoned kid and a child wouldn't shut up, so i'll be going back to see it again soon. Hopefully I can watch it without interruptions.
Good point. But then again, The Avengers had Scarlett Johansson. And Robert Downey Jr. Now, he definitely doesn't count as a hot chick (For me, at least), but damn he's fucking entertaining.
The sad part is that most of the main characters did FAR better in this movie then their own IE: Thor, Loki, Captain America, agent Phil
He's the only dude in the entire film that actually died, right? Although I thought I saw him walking towards eyepatch dude (Fury, wasn't it?) in the last few frames.
I didn't like the Thor or the Captain America movies. I will see this soon but I won't get my hopes up and from what I have read it doesn't seem to be in my taste.
Did you know that in the film "The Island" THE Scarlett Johansson wanted to do a full topless scene, WANTED, but the director refused because the film had to make a certain age rating. The director's name? Michael Bay. Michael fucking Bay. As if I needed another reason to dislike him. By the sounds of it she was pretty adamant, cursing and locking herself in her trailer in protest. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Scar...the-Director-Wouldn-039-t-Let-Her-38044.shtml
