Samuel L Jackson?..............

if you watch any of the Marvel superhero flicks (Ironman), you need to stick around after the end credits.

[AmericanWoman]

I wonder is regular newspaper comics will be made into films? Calvin & Hobbs?

[LnGrrrR]

I've got faith in Joss Whedon, as he's both written good comics and directed good movies.

I know I saw it.. I just hate the guy. He's pretty blatant about jumping on any movie just to be the highest grossing actor of all time (see: Star Wars). Whattttttttever

[crc21209]

Interesting. I still wonder how the movie industry will pull off a "Justice League" movie as well...

Uhm, actually, Marvel Comics has used the image of Sauel L Jackson as Nick Fury since they started the Ultimate line, years ago.

[LnGrrrR]

It'd be alot tougher for them to pull off a Justice League movie. The Ultimates line rebooted the Avengers for a more "modern" feel, and as such updated the storylines.

Not sure how the relatively paper-thin characters of the Justice League would translate. Only Batman, Green Lantern, (and in some comics, Supes) are fully realized characters. Martian Manhunter would just confuse people, Hawkman is lame, and Wonder Woman, while necessary, usually is pretty boring.

If they did a Justice League movie, they'd have to find a way to take Supes out of the story early, and have the team free him, leading to an end battle.

yeah, in pretty much every major Justice League battle Superman gets taken out first to make room for all the other cast to contribute... otherwise what's the point :lol

Touche. But the guy still bothers me. :lol

[LnGrrrR]

Touche. But the guy still bothers me. :lol

Hey, that's cool with me. Just letting you know. :)

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This can be cool if only Hulk was the bad guy for like half the movie, fucks up the entire avengers, then they convince him to join up against the Masters of Evil or something.

Baron fucking Zemo needs some on-screen time.

[Trainwreck2100]

i wouldn't mind something like the ultimates where the grey hulk rips shit up and the green hulk saves the day

[CuckingFunt]

I'll admit to somewhat nerding out over Whedon at the helm.

Darkseid Is. (the way to go for that. :lol)

[v2freak]

Are there any other long-time Marvel Comics fans who feel they sold out?

[BlairForceDejuan]

Whedon /thumbsup


Hopefully they ship the Hulk's ass to outer space at the end of this movie so Hollywood can quit coming out with a new one every 3 years :lol

[CubanSucks]

A third different Hulk in 7 years? Even more retarded than rebooting Spider Man just after 8 years from the last. Can someone say cash grab?

[LnGrrrR]

I'll admit to somewhat nerding out over Whedon at the helm.

You ever read any of those comics I mentioned? :lol

That's kinda how the Ultimates storyline goes. Banner's locked up most of the movie because the Hulk is just a raging beast, then a bunch of aliens come, and they let out the Hulk as a last resort. The Hulk then goes ape-shit eating aliens and pretty much tearing everything apart.

[LnGrrrR]

double post

[LnGrrrR]

How so? You mean with the movies? Nah. Just a different way to tell a story. And nothing they could do would be as bad as the Spidey Clone saga.

[Mister Sinister]

Oh, come on. One More Day made the Clone Saga look like a good decision. At least with the Clone Saga you had Osborn behind it all, rather than, "It's magic, we don't have to explain it."

[LnGrrrR]

I avoided the entire "One More Day" saga. I heard about it and said to myself, "No, this story will just piss me off." Storylines like that are what turned me onto Image and other publishers.

I haven't kept up with all of Marvel's latest storylines. Too many "world changing events!" lately. (House of M, killing Cap, Skrull Invasion, etc etc)

In the comic banner's locked up cause he willfully injected himself with the serum to become the hulk. I'm also pissed they never explain how he went from raging beast to super badass from ultimates 1 to ultimates 2

I feel sorry for any movie not named The Dark Knight Rises or the Hobbit



The rest is gonna look shitty in comparison :lol

the avengers with these super cool powers and then scarlett johannson in the middle with a gun? really?

Lol no shit. Maybe one of her floppies will pop out her leather suit, if she's gonna be blatant eye candy, might as well go for it.

Shut up

As long as Thor gets in a fight with Hulk I'm down with it. :tu

why hulk black man?

anyway they show some bs hulk tv series which looks like from the 70-80s here on tv...pretty good...

[benefactor]

Um...holy shit.

OOnaurkYKvM

[redzero]

I like Captain America's old suit more.

[DPG21920]

Agree about the suit. I guess Loki is the villan again? Transformers too!

[redzero]

The helmet looks way worse. I'd take no helmet/cowl at all over the new one.

[TDMVPDPOY]

SHIELD makes no sense when fightin against wankers with supernatural powers...its more like they nerf the super heroes and villains

[Mark in Austin]

Yep. Major fail on the modern Cap suit. Other than that looks pretty good.

[Wild Cobra]

I've got faith in Joss Whedon, as he's both written good comics and directed good movies.
Firefly...

DollHouse...

Awesome!

[leemajors]

Hulk looks worse than he did 4 years ago.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Hulk looks worse than he did 4 years ago.

I had that same thought. It looks like they tried to make him look a little more like Mark Ruffalo and took a step backwards in the process.

[DPG21920]

Ed norton hulk look multiple arrows Ruffs hulk

[Trainwreck2100]

just found out this movie comes out in April for the ausies and the brits, so I will be seeing this sometime in April

[Spurtacus]

First summer film and probably the best. Can't wait till next Friday.

[lefty]

The new 3rd TDKR trailer will be playing right before Avengers


lol Avengers

lol about to get humiliated by a fucking trailer

[BlairForceDejuan]

meh, The Batman movies are hyped beyond stupid every time. :sleep

Was waiting for Aronofsky's R-Rated Wolverine to be the end all ultimate comic book movie, but alas we will continue to wait...

[TDMVPDPOY]

this movie will look good if there was no SHIELD, they serve no fkn purpose and have no business fighting villains with super natural powers....

and htf did t hey persuade hulk tojoin them, it seems like they need him more then he needs them...

[rr2418]

You do know that the movie is based on The Avengers comic book series? :wow


You might want to read up on the history of the Anvengers and why they formed... including the Hulk. :lol

[Muser]

This movie is fucking awesome.

[DPG21920]

Playing overseas already?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Yeah wasn't the original avengers team formed as a Hulk prevention squad?

I remember they were freaking out when they thought the Hulk could fly, but Iron Man realized he was so strong he could jump for miles and miles with his leaps.

Then they cornered him and he held up his hands as if to give up, then he clapped at the massive sonic boom knocked out nearly the entire team.

[Trainwreck2100]

Playing overseas already?

england australia and new zealand, there's a cam available but i'm waiting for a better one

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck you guys overseas who get to see this already.

I hate you.

[DPG21920]

So it was sick though?

[redzero]

Buzz seems to be that Hulk was well done.

[DPG21920]

Surprising - hate the way he looks in the previews

[Trainwreck2100]

hulk was teh shit. Can't wait to see his fight in an actual theater not on a computer screen. Not my computer screen mind you i would never pirate movies

[lefty]

Fuck you guys overseas who get to see this already.

I hate you.

Dont worry

Its a total piece of shit compared to TDKR

I wanna see it. :cry

Not going to spoil anything but The Hulk was awesome. And stay through the credits obviously.

I doubt TDKR live sup to expectations. I doubted this would live up to expectations but so far its blowing people away.

[ididnotnothat]

Lolol I knew TDKR jackoffs would get so threatened by this movie

my prediction is tdkr has bigger opening weekend, but avengers wins overall

Lol tdkr insecurity

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Don't worry lefty, you'll still have the cloud and the upcoming iPad 3 to comfort you at night

[redzero]

lefty is the only asshole doing that, so don't pin that on everybody.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Marvel studios needs to get back the rights to the x-men, and start doing Inferno, Mutant Massacre, age of apocalypse, ONSLAUGHT (!), fatal attractions

The possibilities are endless

Yeah what's with them being able to see the movie before us Americans. Fuckin ain't right man.

I might have to go to the movies for the first time in two years.

[MannyIsGod]

Been hearing the same thing. I've already Fandango'd tickets for Saturday.

[Venti Quattro]

god damn Cobie Smulders is a fine woman, sons

[manufan10]

3D sucks. I hope this fad ends soon.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Wasnt really impressed with Avengers tbh. :(

Way too much Hawkeye and Scarlet Jo btw, wtf was that.

[Muser]

I thought Hawkeye was pretty cool.

[MannyIsGod]

3D sucks. I hope this fad ends soon.

Yeah - I avoided the 3d showings. I imagine the whole New York scenes would have been annoying as shit in 3d.

[lefty]

Wow !

The best part was clearly TDKR's new trailer

[Woo Bum-kon]

Lefty is a gigantic faggot. Idiots like him are incapable of just enjoying things. They have to pick sides.

[manufan10]

I wasn't expecting to laugh as much as I did throughout the movie, tbh. Overall I think it was 9/10.

[MannyIsGod]

The one liners were on a level I didn't expect. They were great.

Yeah - paying for it this morning but it was a lot of fun. The crowd was great. I'm pretty sure you'll like it. I'll probably watch it again with a buddy of mine who can't go see it until later this weekend.

[Agloco]

Lives up to the hype!

I thought it was quite well done, and I have no clue as to who anyone was. Everyone outside of the norse hammer man and Robert Downey Jr. character seemed superfluous tbh...... Although, Sam Jackson was at his kickass best too.

The two scenes afterwards were interesting as well.

[Muser]

The Hulk/Loki scene had me in stitches

[Technique]

Great movie, the action scenes were entertaining as hell. It was a lot funnier than I expected.

Also Thor, Iron Man and Hulk >>>> The other avengers. Thor is like Marvel's Superman without kryptonite as his weakness.

Overall I was pleasantly surprised and for me this movie was better than any of Marvel's solo movies (not including Spider-Man)

[DPG21920]

Spider man sucked.

[redzero]

Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 were decent, but X2, First Class, and Iron Man were definitely better.

[DPG21920]

I thought SMI was ok I guess, but not a fan. Definitely agree on First Class and Iron Man. To date, I think XMFC was the best comic book movie I have seen outside of TDK.

[manufan10]

What about Superman Returns. Best movie ever!

[Mister Sinister]

Dat post-credits scene. Mother. Of. God.

[DPG21920]

MS, what was better: The TDKR trailer or The Avengers Movie?

[blkroadrunners]

Dat post-credits scene. Mother. Of. God.

I totally jizzed my pants when I saw him. That sequel would be Sick.

[MannyIsGod]

Would be an epic storyline if they decide to do it. BTW, according to supernerds on the net the relevent item can be seen in Thorn in the Hall.

[MannyIsGod]

I rank the Marvel Studios movies in this manner.

The Avengers
Iron Man
Thor
Captain America
Iron Man 2
The Incredible Hulk

I thought all were good but Hulk is obviously the week spot followed by Iron Man 2. I think CA is better than the first few times I saw it but I'm still not a huge fan of him as a character. Thor was pretty damn awesome as cinematography is concerned and I felt the story line was much better than IM2 or CA. Iron Man is just damn good.

Agree. I liked Capt. America and I still think Chris Evans is a HORRIble casting decision for Cap. I'd add the first 10-15 minutes of Wolverine Origins to the top of that list.

[redzero]

Captain America was great until after the musical scene. Then it fell apart.

Wolverine Origins is not a Marvel Studios movie.

[cantthinkofanything]

I'd really like to see a Dr. Strange movie.

[MannyIsGod]

Also, I was WAY wrong about Mark Ruffalo. I know the Hulk's best scenes involve CG and not actual acting, but I thought he was a better Banner than Ed Norton. They did wonders for the character in this movie.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Whedon worked directly with the animators, to get the hulk right, and they were telling him how no director had ever given them direction the way he did

[CuckingFunt]

Argh! I likely won't have a chance to go see this one until the end of next week and it's fucking killing me.

Killing me.

[J.T.]

I saw it at midnight and it was pretty much bad ass from the first scene to the last. This is definitely one of those movies where if you gotta piss, hold it till the end.

[MannyIsGod]

Almost went to see it again tonight and then decided I'm way too tired.

[blkroadrunners]

I'll probably see it again myself. I went to a noon showing today, and some parent decided to bring their infant to the theaters. The baby kept on crying up until the alien fight scene. It was really annoying.

I been a marvel fan boy since age three. saw the fantastic four movies on HBO, even. *shiver*

[Mister Sinister]

I'd really like to see a Dr. Strange movie.
If they're going where I think they are, it'd make sense. He could easily fulfill his own role plus that of Adam Warlock.

[leemajors]

His suit is bulletproof :D

the eye holes are not.

[Muser]

Who was the guy in the post credits scene?

[redzero]

Thanos.

[Cane]

Fantastic movie. :lol @ Shakespeare in the park

But I do have a couple of minor things to bitch about. While it was still damn entertaining, not everyone needs to have snarky one-liners. It makes the character personalities blend too much, and nearly every character with more than a handful of lines had them. In particular when Scarlett uttered a one-liner in the ending action sequence felt out of place, and was the only real cringe-worthy moment in the film.

Also the beginning of the movie just felt off to me. It didn't captivate or draw my interest, imo there was too much going on and the viewer never got invested enough into the scene.

Anyway Joss Whedon ftw. It shouldn't have been a surprise to how awesome this movie turned out to be, even with a smorgasbord of characters. His experience from Serenity and tying up all the characters stories shows off big time, and that too is one of the best paced and one of the funnest scifi movies around.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Awesome when iron man called hawk eye "legolas" crofl

[benefactor]

Sitting in the theater waiting for it to start. Fucking pumped.

[Muser]

Bring on the next set of sequels tbh. I'm interested to see if the red skull will be in Thor 2.

A decent movie; 6/10

As I was leaving the theater, the only thing people were talking about was that TDKR trailer :lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I missed the dark knight trailer, and when I came back to my seats with drinks, my girl didn't even remember it, but said the expendables 2 looked good

It will be interesting to see how they can do Thanos unless they completely change his origins... and reduce the power of the Infinity Gauntlet.

You rarely see Thanos in comics without the other half of the Marvel Universe integrated into the story e.g. Silver Surfer, Galactus, Fantastic 4... so unless Disney can buy the rights or strike a deal with Fox (Fantastic 4, Silver Surfer, X-Men) and Sony (Spider-Man) for the rights to the entire Marvel Universe....

... and then the Infinity Gauntlet... when all the Gems are collected, the user gains dominion over the universe. Thanos absolutely wipes the floor with the Avengers in the beginning of that story arc... so I'm scared another great villain will be shat upon.

[stxspurs]

i watched it at the 8am showing...it was bad ass....as i left there was a huge line...i turned to my bro in law and said..."i cant believe Thor died". the faces were priceless.

[CuckingFunt]

So?

No one cares.

It would be a smart move, long term, to have the bad guy win one of these movies eventually. That way, the set up hype for three following movie would be immense.

Also, would keep the marvel movies from becoming stale and predictable.
just a thought

Will see it again within the next week. Either tomorrow with the mrs. or Thursday when I'm off.

If you're going to post lines you should probably post a spoiler warning.

:lol

The exchanges with him and Capt. America were gold too.

[redzero]

Everybody in my theater laughed their asses off after that Hulk-Loki scene. Thankfully, there was barely any clapping.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Lotta claps when I went

I only clapped at the first after credit scenes

[redzero]

A few things:

1.) Clapping is retarded.
2.) The 3D was completely pointless, of course. This fad needs to die again.
3.) I honestly doubt that lefty actually saw this movie.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I saw non 3d, didn't even consider it


There were a few people dressed in avengers costumes, lol

[BlackSwordsMan]

Yeah I saw it 3D and what a waste of money but still an awesome movie.

[redzero]

Oh, and another thing. (SPOILERS) I don't know why people complained that Thor got the short end of the stick. His fight against Iron Man was the best one in the movie, and he was beating Tony with his bear hands. He was getting his ass kicked by Hulk, but that was expected. The only complaint I have is that he could have caught Tony at the end instead of waiting for Hulk to do it.

Ruffalo was a great Banner and his Hulk looked the most like, well, the Hulk. Both of his scenes with Black Widow were awesome, and his scenes with Stark were great, too.

I thought Thor was going to get Tony at the end as well.

The only thing about the Thor/Tony/Cap fight you're talking about that I disliked was the fact that it was completely and apparently pointless.

[redzero]

:lol When are those fights not pointless?

[Muser]

Wasn't really pointless. (Spoilers below)
















Thor had just took Loki from the ship, for all Stark and Cap knew he was trying to save him. RDJ also had the "Would you look at that" one liner goods when Thor electrocuted him.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Spoilers









Ha ha, cuz thors lightning super charged his batteries

[Muser]

Also hope they in incorporate different superhero's into future films (Spiderman, Wolverine etc.)

[redzero]

When they get the rights back, I'd love to see Soider-Man and Wolverine as Avengers.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I want maximum carnage (which can only be done rated R, like TDK meets Spiderman style), and 80s x men stuff like Inferno, and Age of Apocalypse

[redzero]

That game was too hard and Carnage sucks. After the way Venom was bungled, I doubt we'll see another symbiotic in the near future.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Yeah I never beat it. It made me buy Green Jelly's album 333, though :lol

carnage is awesome though. He's the Patrick Bateman of spider man universe

[Proxy]

Even if they get the rights back.... I imagine they'd have to do yet another reboot to make the universes canon

[Blake]

Ditto.

[BlackSwordsMan]

yeah everyone laughed too but no clapping they used to do that shit all at the time at quarry AMC

[Blake]

This moves into my #1 superhero movie spot. Better than all the solo pictures for sure although I still love Iron Man.

My only complaint is that the costumes still look like something from Party City. I also ignored the fact that the US military was nowhere to be found. I guess the assumption is that Shield called them off.

[Technique]

Spoilers:

Thor was the strongest Avenger in the movie, what short end of the stick?

When Captain America was exhausted, Thor was flipping cars.

When Hulk was getting gunned down Thor was creating a lightning storm wiping out a brigade. Not to mention Thor matched Hulk in strength.

When it was all over Thor was the one that took back the tesaract and Loki himself.

Based off the movie alone the order of importance is Thor, Iron Man, Hulk and somewhat Black Widow for what she did in the end. The rest were expendable.

I mean what can a 'hero' with no superpowers really do against flying spaceships?

[Technique]

That game was too hard and Carnage sucks. After the way Venom was bungled, I doubt we'll see another symbiotic in the near future.

That's why they discontinued the old Spider-Man series. Spider-Man 3 was butchered and Venom was absolutely atrocious, worst actor possible to play Venom. Tayler Lautner would have been a more imposing Venom.

Carnage is straight up beast. My favorite villain from Spider-Man. The actors play such a huge role in the character (shocking right?) even if the character is predetermined like in comic book movies if you have some dude that looks like a back street boy it just won't work.

[redzero]

I think Venom could work, but I don't like all the other symbiotes.

Spider-Man 3 was unintentionally hilarious the entire way through, even without all the parts that were meant to be funny.

[MannyIsGod]

I thought they got all the parts just right. Which is something of a miracle if you think about it.

When you think about the gamble that was made building to this movie you have to think that its been extremely well executed by Marvel Studios. The only real dud of a movie - and I still thought it was good - was The Incredible Hulk.

I'm pretty amazed they pulled it off at all. The fact the made it this good is just ridiculous.

[Technique]

For some reason Hulk never found his actor. In the past decade 3 actors attempted to play that role. All of them being very credible, none of them leaving that much of an impression.

Mark Ruffalo was fine, he wasn't impressive, but he wasn't underwhelming either.

Part of the reason I like Spider-Man more (1 and 2) as well as Batman (especially Begins) was the drama. The Avengers was an exciting and entertaining movie, but it was shallow, it didn't draw you in emotionally like the darker comic movies.

I wasn't left thinking after the movie, only revising the action scenes and that's fine - but I prefer substance.

[MannyIsGod]

Did Spiderman really have much drama though? Obviously TDK and BB had a lot of it. I guess Spiderman 2 really did have a decent amount of drama for a comic book movie but 1 and 3 definitely didn't have all that much.

[redzero]

I like the Batman movies more, but the Spider-Man movies are not at all better.

[Muser]

Don't know what films you were watching, but the Spiderman films weren't really dark.

[MannyIsGod]

I do agree wiith you that Avengers was a "shallow" popcorn type movie. I think thats fine though. Especially when you execute it so damn well.

Not to sound too much like Lefty, but in this regard TDKR has such a higher ceiling than the Avengers.

[resistanze]

The Hulk/Loki scene had me in stitches

Just got back from this. Funniest scene in the film, tbh.

Great overall movie, perfectly executed as Manny said.

The hulk's problem wasn't the actor it was the hulk himself. This is the first movie where he wasn't just a brainless monster but a force of nature. In the other movies he couldn't kill the soldiers cause they were human. In this movie he was finally just pure destruction.

Well first of all, all the previous Spiderman movies sucked. Lets get that straight.

Secondly, Avengers isn't comparable to Nolan's Batman trilogy. Marvel chose not to have the movie take itself that seriously. It won't be as good as Nolan's Batman or Watchmen... but that wasn't the goal, so lets not get ahead of ourselves. We may as well be comparing Home Alone with Inception if we don't keep in mind the integrity of the movie.

I thought the first two Spiderman films were pretty good, and for the most part 3 really wasn't as bad as people make it out.

[BlackSwordsMan]

3 wasn't bad but fuck hollywood for just re-booting everything I won't see spiderman because of this and bane with his audio enhancement still is hard to understand. Bring back the joker bane stinks

Spiderman X-men: Arcade's Revenge for SNES particularly. Now that's a different story.

I can let the first two go.... but c'mon mang.... don't make excuses for the third Spider-man. The casting was horrid, the actors acted terrible, the writing was so bad it came off comical, we were all embarrassed to be in the theater when Toby went emo, and they completely ruined Venom. It was a kick in the balls to movie goers and comic fans alike.

I think the new reboot looks way better tbh. Parker actually looks like himself and I'm happy they got rid of the organic web bs.

Things that made Spider-Man 3 bad:
- Franco's acting. He wasn't even trying.
- Maguire's acting. Those faces he made were unintentionally hilarious.
- The three villains. Completely unnecessary and the only one who was done half decently was Sandman.
- The way Venom was bungled. Wrong actor and poorly utilized. Topher's face appearing evey time Venom spoke was stupid.
- That pointless shot of Spider-Man in front of the American flag towards the end. What the hell was the point of that?
- The British reporter. She was unintentionally hilarious.

There's more, but I don't want to get into it.

I would say the bad acting on Franco's and Maguire's part was due to them knowing the movie was absolute shit, because they both have had their moments.

I remember watching a behind the scenes preview and the cast looked particularly embarrassed to lie about how good of a movie it was going to be.

Actually the Spider-Man movies didn't suck, but okay.

Nobody is getting ahead of anybody. It's a simple comparison between comic book movies which are far more relative than your obscure analogy. Home Alone and Inception? You're missing the point entirely.

[Technique]

To be honest I think Tobey made a better Spider-Man than Andrew Garfield is going to. Garfield comes off metrosexual, and that's not exactly Peter Parker's persona. Tobey made a good Peter Parker because he was just a plain guy, but a good actor.

Funny you say that, I recently saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and thought it was great, but Franco was acting horribly. he did not come off asemotional about his ape, didn't sell one single emotion or angle. Why'd this guy get the reputation for being a good actor?

They're superhero movies rated pg-13. Kids grew up watching their cartoons and playing their video games.

What audience are you talking about exactly?

One movie chose to go in one direction, while the other chose a different direction. I like one direction more than the other.

Hope this clears things up for you.

It will be interesting to see how they can do Thanos unless they completely change his origins... and reduce the power of the Infinity Gauntlet.

You rarely see Thanos in comics without the other half of the Marvel Universe integrated into the story e.g. Silver Surfer, Galactus, Fantastic 4... so unless Disney can buy the rights or strike a deal with Fox (Fantastic 4, Silver Surfer, X-Men) and Sony (Spider-Man) for the rights to the entire Marvel Universe....

... and then the Infinity Gauntlet... when all the Gems are collected, the user gains dominion over the universe. Thanos absolutely wipes the floor with the Avengers in the beginning of that story arc... so I'm scared another great villain will be shat upon.


Saw the movie yesterday.Awsome movie!!! The only disappointed thing about the movie wasn't the movie itself but the after credits scene. I didn't know who Thanos was. I had to do a google search on him. I was hoping for an introduction or a hint to another future Avenger. Just like they did with Thor at the end of IM2. We see the hammer and knew right away who it was.

[AmericanPsycho]

Solid movie.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Fluffy!

[DarkReign]

Bad-ass movie. I never go to movies but I did for this. Saw it in 3D, also my first time.

Excellent, excellent movie. Going again this next weekend. Hulk is finally treated the way he should be...feared by all and everything. Some scenes during the final battle are just funny as hell, especially a particular scene with Loki and Hulk.

The "credits" scene with a certain notoriously powerful Marvel character introduced makes me think their reach will exceed their grasp. I am still interested but this particular story line in the Marvel universe, imo, would be incredibly hard to do on film and still serve it justice.

...I just read the few posts above me. No reason to be vague in this thread it seems.

The Infinity Wars had best be served better than Galactus was portrayed in the horrible FF movies. The Surfer is one of, if not the most powerful forces in the Universe and yet 4 idiots from Manhattan swayed him somehow after countless planets were scouted and devoured. Horrible, blasphemous use of the source material.

One good thing though. With the establishment of Asgard in the movies, the near-immortal race of demi-Gods, the extra-dimensional armies of the Other under Loki's command, the writers may not have to skew Thanos much to fit inside the movie lore previous established in all the films.

IIRC, the cube and Thor have already said there are 9 realms. We are one (Midgard), they are one (Asgard) and the Frost Giants are from another. That leaves 6 planes of existence to explore. Thanos, being fucking Thanos, exists outside the realms. If his introduction truly heralds the coming of an Infinity Wars movie, it will either be epic and beyond reproach or shit and a stain on the source material. There is no half-way with this particular saga.

After watching all of the Marvel films, especially those specific to the Avengers, I have confidence they will do it justice. This movie was par excellence in every sense of the word. So long as you dont go in with Oscar-winning performances and writing in mind, you will not be disappointed. Its an action movie, plain and simple. But the writing and acting are strong enough to entertain and suspend disbelief. The banter between the players is even legitimately funny, especially if you were/are an avid reader of the source material.

...and I cant say it enough...Hulk is finally portrayed true to the comics as the indestructible, city-shattering, strongest-thing-in-the-known-universe that he is. He is feared by all, even those who dont know to fear him...yet. He was my favorite character growing up, when he was a member of the Pantheon. The movies did not do his lore any justice. There was no stopping the Hulk, you cannot beat the Hulk, he was done when he was done. No army of man could ever stand against him, hell no army in the universe. Which is why the movies werent very good, imo. In the Avengers, he is finally The Hulk. Cant say that enough.

Thats kind of what all the previous movies were for. Think of Thor/Iron Man/Hulk/Captain America as feature length trailers for The Avengers. Its a mindless action movies with no substance if you never watched the prequels.

If you watched the previous movies as prequels, imo, you better understand why The Avengers didnt waste any time on backstory and drama.

Watchman = not good, not good at all. Pathetically bad, really. I understand your point, however, in that the movie did try to take itself seriously just as TDK does.
