"THE AVENGERS (Whedon, 2012)"


  

          


so Deluge & myself already saw it.
We agree that it's epic and Whedon
should just direct (or atleast oversee) every Marvel movie
from now on;
that HULK is done right this time
and that it's, like most reviews stated so far,
one of the best superhero movies EVER.
I had a great time.

The 3D was not necessary, however.
May 05th 2012
124
Instead of an Avengers 2, how about a Marvel UNIVERSE series of movies?
May 05th 2012

The post-destruction scenes uncomfortably reminded me of 9/11.

1. "My thoughts on it..."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Like someone already stated in the other post, Avengers is particularly a FUN film. The storyline isn't deep in any way and the film goes right into the action and keeps that going steadily.

It's definitely the best Marvel film so far. Whedon did an amazing job putting all these characters together and giving them equal interesting screen time.

I was very pleasantly surprised with how he handled Black Widow and Hawkeye in general. I really thought they'd end up being supporting characters.

I'm also very happy with his portrayal of both Banner as well as the Hulk. I really feel he should be handling that character from here on out. For once the Hulk seemed less about the CGI and more about the character, and Banner was pretty much Banner.

The only character I'm somewhat disappointed with is Nicky Fury. He's mostly used to tie everything together, but people still don't really get to see what he's about.

All in all there's not really anything I'd change about this film. There's no filler scenes IMO, no useless romances, no filler characters etc.

And as always, definitely sit through the credits.

I see it as this..during this year away he finally figured out how to control it. And banner, through tony having complete confidence i him and telling him maybe the monster saved you, he started to treat the hulk as not a disadvantage but maybe as a friend, and then you have this team of heroes who trust you and want you there, i don't want to say banner controlled the hulk but the hulk saw he was not alone, and had a purpose. So he was just as distractive but he is not mad at the world, or at the least he is not mad at the other avengers, in the hulks world those are is only friends.

If you recall at the end of the Hulk movie, Edward Norton turned to the Hulk meditating, that's why when he turned to the Hulk towards the end of the Avengers movie he said my secret is I'm angry all the time meaning he can turn to the Hulk whenever he wants. As far as him spazzing out on the Hellicarrier, the staff Loki got from whoever that was and the gamma radiation on it had something to do with it remember when the team told him to back away? I have to watch it again.

Anyone got a link to a vid of the Thanos ending?

Captain America is kind of a douche, but everyone else was cool.

Saw it in 3D though, which was kind of pointless. But whatever, shit was dope regardless.

SEMI-SPOILER:
I was dying at the Hulk spazzing out on dude and tossing him around like a piece of meat and shit. Hilarious.

In response to Reply # 12


  

          

Luckily I have an unlimited movie pass so it only cost a couple bucks for the 3D.

20. "pretty good..."

..they didn't have much of a storyline for this, but that ultimately worked in their favor.

in most cases, less is more

in this instance, less dialogue, more action.

MUCH better job with the hulk. jojo & jeremy gave solid turns in their respective roles without over-doin' it. hemsworth as well.

as a matter of fact, the only weaknesses in the cast were hiddleston, skarsgard, and jackson. *i fault the writers/director in that regard, as those 3 are certainly deserving of their reputations.

jackson came across as bland instead of stoic.
hiddleston was far from terrifying (more hokey than loki)
skarsgard was basically disrespected with such a menial role.

the fight choreography was on par with the pace of the film. *kudos to jojo on her fight/stunt sequences.

it goes without saying that tony stark is always the star of the show, and robert downey jr was born to play him.

family fun, cool tech, and a lot of ass-kickin'.

this should have been a 4th of july release.


..and miles to go before i sleep...

Man I'm sweating over how long and miserable these next three days will be. Two more months? I don't think so. May 4th is perfect timing.

In response to Reply # 23


  

          

They knew this film'd have legs and in the heart of July it's far more likely to meet stiff competition a couple weeks later. Now, it has two months between it and the next hero film, whereas Spiderman with its July 4 release meets The Dark Knight Rises half a month later.

The only things Avengers will face this month are Battleship and Men In Black III, both of which are underperforming in tracking. The Avengers crowd is going to see it time after time this month and make SERIOUS bank.

I agree that it feels more like an "America, fuck yeah!" film than this new Spidey does, but they had to in order to make the most money possible.

Didn't hate the movie but it was hard to see a lot of the darker scenes with the combination of those glasses & the 8% Gordon Biersch Maibock beers before. I feel like I need to see it again a little less sober & either 2D or IMAX 3D.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

one of the best things about this movie is not only were they able to pull off the incredible task of doing a movie of this magnitude with that many characters and backstory, but the fact that this will probably mean that joss whedon will be getting some work (and respect). i still need to see CITW, but based on his prior stuff i love this mf'er. even if i have seen nothing other than firefly (not the case) i'd still support this dude to the end.

this feels like a LOOOOOONG time coming for both him and those of us who've been flyin the "Whedon is a genius" flag for at least a decade. im hoping this reinvigorates interest in his past work, ideally getting Firefly up n running again.

he did a LOT with the $30 or so mil they gave him to do "Serenity", n he's forever been doing a lot with a little since forever on TV. so to me and longtime zealots, $150mil to do a movie IS his carte blanche. that amount of money in HIS hands? no WAY u can go wrong.

Or, at least, one with less iconic characters to do well to prove himself. Chris Nolan has been the one person to really prove himself outside of the genre of late. Bryan Singer, Jon Favreau, and others have all fallen flat on their faces in their superhero follow-ups. Raimi did well with Drag Me to Hell but it was a return to his roots and not a different kind of blockbuster ala Inception. I'm not a huge fan of Nolan but he's shown that there's life beyond Batman.

39. "What do you guys think the numbers for this film will be?"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

The biggest ever 3 day domestic weekend was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II was $169.1 mil... I think this might pass that.

The top 3 domestic grossing films of all-time made $760.5 mil, $600.8 mil, and $533.4 mil. I think breaking 600 million is extremely possible... Avatar was around FOREVER, so I'm not sure it can pass that... but I think second highest grossing film ever domestic is in reach.

The top 3 worldwide grossing films of all time made $2.78 bil, $1.84 bil, and $1.32 bil. I absolutely see this film passing the $1.25 bil mark worldwide-- it's already made $220 mil in its opening weekend in some overseas countries!

I'm SO excited to see how people respond to this and what kind of legs it has. It's a lock for the top spot for two weekends... and with Battleship tracking low at the moment (looks like a $50 mil or so opening perchance), and Spidey and Dark Knight topping $40 mil in their respective third weekends a few years ago, and this having IMAX 3D on its side... I wonder if it can stay #1 when Battleship opens too.

They used a base friendly director, All the pre-lude movies have been pretty well-received, word of mouth buzz is good and strong, as is critical acclaim.

I think this one's not gonna get knocked down until Spidey's reboot comes out.

who "purchased" the tickets and told me they were for the dome. Let's just say I wasn't pleased when I found out.

However, I do have a hook for a screening at Disney Studios on Saturday. Hopefully that pans out and this "Cinema Dome" fiasco will be all for not

Everyone did a great job but I was a little disappointed they didn't take advantage of the 3D until the end. That final battle even with the 3D started lookin a little Transformers 3ish with all the CGI tho.

I think I enjoyed the camaraderie between the group more than some of the action & RDJ was killin it with the one liners. Feels like he ad-lib'd all those nicknames on the spot.

I only saw 1 scene during the end credits but apparently they've added another after now too. Tempted to see it again in 2D or IMAX 3D.

Good flick but great timing with the new Batman trailer released the same night I saw it. Gotta good feeling Nolan can top this now.

In response to Reply # 48


          

the final battle looked *mad* Transformers 3 at times, mostly because of the overly busy, mecha-inspired alien designs.

the second post-credits scene is quirky but very perfect for comic heads. it's like a last panel come to life. I loved it.

seen the Batman and Prometheus trailers before, but they both looked stunning on-screen. Prometheus had everybody in silenced awe.

A lot of it looked cool but at times it was too much

Does it follow up on the first one?

I've only seen the Prometheus teaser on the big screen & even that was pretty impressive.

the second post-credits scene isn't a big "reveal" or anything like the first (although it has a minor connection to a line in the movie). it's more like a funny Easter Egg.

http://exm.nr/JgzXdV <-- clicking on that doesn't only enable you to read my rambling giddy thoughts on how much I loved the film, but it also puts money in my pocket... so I'd love you to click that.

If you don't want to, my review in summary: best superhero film to date. Can't really pinpoint any missteps. Structured beautifully, written wittily, action filmed magnificently, acted flawlessly, and it looks even more expensive than it is. Plus, they NAIL the Hulk.

Not that critics can be unbiased at all, but if they have major predilections one way or the other, they should be included in the writing. That's something reading Roger Ebert taught me.

In response to Reply # 56


  

          

@ longs, do you have a word count? and really, a tip of the cap is due to you for detailing so much of what was right with that flick without giving it away.

i didn't read ANY reviews or poasts or anything on this flick before seeing it. i don't know when (ahh -- first LOTR) i've been that hyped.

but all my highest expectations were blown away.

back to your review, though, again, as a writer, i was extremely impressed and just wanted to give you props on continued mastery of your craft. the earnestness you identified in captain america also came through in the way you unabashedly conveyed your delight in this film's emotional impact and technical execution.

nitpick (but this may have been copy editor) did you mean 'wracked' with guilt or 'wrecked' (re: thor).

like i said, first graph was killer. and the series of statements (followed by the parenthetical (it is)) was a GREAT device for chaining a bunch of individual truths to make a much larger point.



peace & blessings,

58. "clicked.read.appreciated...but 1 question"
In response to Reply # 51
Thu May-03-12 11:21 AM by Selah

          

you say the following

"I’ll say that if you’re looking for this film to perfectly tie in to the events of the previous films (in particular, the stuff surrounding Hulk), it doesn’t– but that merely puts it in the same boot as any other franchise that’s dealt with reboots and sequels. "

My question is you say this as though it is a minor throwaway thing, but I think it might not be. my reasoning: Avengers (Assemble if ya nasty) as a movie is a culmination of years worth of planning. After things being built up since Iron Man we finally get to see the climactic master stroke. For it to not perfectly tie in (your words) is a major hit. Football analogy alert: If you march down the field 98 yards from your own 1 and then don't punch it in the three points you settle for will be a downer compared to the seven you could/should have had.

Yeah, credit it due for the journey - but finishing strong is kinda the point (right?)

Another analogy - I used to hate how Stephen King would take you on these several hundred page rollercoaster rides then fumble the end. Likewise when Lucas finally got his chance to close the loop on star wars (since we're referencing 10-year-old memories) with the prequels and they pretty much sucked, that kinda threw a stain on the good will of the orignals. final analogy - who wants great foreplay and bad culmination?

How can Avengers be a game changer (your words, again) and yet merely be in the same boot (book?) as "any other franchise that dealt with reboots and sequels" at the same time?

I could actually give Marvel a pass for not having the Hulk fit into the franchise seamlessly. One one had it's a troubled franchise by itself. More inmportantly i'm not actually sure in 2008 (when they both were released) that the makers of Hulk were as focused on "the big picture of the coming Avengers" as the folks doing Iron Man instead thinking more about just getting a decent Hulk movie out. Then again, the deleted Captain-America-in-ice scene does undercut my point.

Either way, it if there truly was a master plan afoot - and everyone and the product itself seems to indicate there was I think the hiccup you've uncovered may be the only real/justified negative thing I've heard about Avengers.

Obviously for you it's not big enough to ruin your "I'm a kid again" high, but I'd like to hear more about the disconnect(s) if you are willing to share. I recognize it'll prolly be spoiler-heavy so you can rope it off accordingly if you choose to go in.

all that said - thanks for your review. good job.

59. "it's a non-issue for the storyline"
In response to Reply # 58


  

          

(I know you asked Frank but I'm chiming in anyways)
The two Hulk movies were made outside of this particular story, so while there are major tie-ins to "Thor," and obviously recurring characters from "Iron Man," the Hulk is essentially one of the new characters introduced here.
It doesn't detract from the movie, it's just that his origin movies (neither of which match how great the Hulk is in this) were made before the master plan was cast. Instead of going back and trying to sandwich in his movies, they let him come in as he is needed for this film.
Think of it like the comics themselves: you don't need to have read every comic book to follow the "Ultimates" story. This movie is the story of the Avengers and how they act when the things we've been building up to finally appear. Hulk's movies show his origins and nature, so for that they help because the Hulk in this movie is an already developed character.
It is definitely not a knock against the movie.

Also,
the Hulk was without a doubt my favorite character in this movie and judging by how bad the Hulk movies were I was shocked.

60. "i'm not sure you addressed my key question"
In response to Reply # 59


          

trying to summartize more succintly:
how can the way things tie together NOT be a major hit to the overall effectiveness of execution of a plan

you repeated why I'd give the Hulk part a bit of grace, but if it's there it's there. the second request was were there other problematic elements like this or is that the only one (the article implied that was AN example not the only a case)

if ultimately folks are saying it's so overwhelmingly great that the wrinkles in the overall story don't matter then cool

BUT

I fear at this stage we're all so excited just that they got the thing done (and seemingly done well) that we might be overlooking something which undercuts a major weakness in the overall narrative of the universe they are trying to build

62. "Because plans change."
In response to Reply # 60
Thu May-03-12 11:35 AM by Frank Longo

  

          

Part of their plan was to have Ed Norton as Hulk. Part of their plan was to have Jon Favreau helm The Avengers. Due to contracts, egos, etc., plans change.

The Avengers script changed a number of times even once it was in Whedon's hands. As scripts often do.

The "main plan" is to create a universe and pull the characters together. They executed that brilliantly.

Whether the Banner/Stark relationship would've been strained due to the final scene in the Norton Hulk in which Stark is dealing with Banner's nemesis Thunderbolt Ross is really neither here nor there. Plus it's always a possibility that Banner never even knew Stark consulted with Ross, so it might not even *really* be a weakness. It's a nitpick.

In response to Reply # 60


  

          

and I will argue that had they tried to work in the previous Hulk the movie might have suffered.

Here is a guy they have all heard of/seen but never met.

It works.

You seem to be looking for some kind of perfection in planning when the execution is the important part.

And it was executed flawlessly.

One could also argue that Hawkeye isn't given enough to do, but the movie doesn't necessitate him having a lot to do - he just needs to be there and be helpful.

Same with this Hulk thing. Sure, it would be even better if the full original planning worked out but it didn't. They took it and ran with it anyway and did so exceedingly well.

In response to Reply # 59


  

          

You can already sort of file the new Incredible Hulk movie to the side because it broke actor continuity. I'm assuming that's why they decided to not really address it in the Tony Stark/Hulk relationship, which probably would have been strained due to Stark dealing with Thunderbolt Ross and what have you.

It also has little impact because this movie stands on its own feet. Just like a good sequel should be. Seeing the previous films undoubtedly helps, but seeing JUST this one, you'll still understand 99% of what transpires and what transpired in the past.

was stark selling special equipment to Ross specifically to shut down the Hulk? Their conversation wasn't particularly long, I saw it more as him saying "you can stop your futile attempts to capture this monster, there's a higher purpose for him now." i mean tony is dickish, he could very well be just enjoying to see people fail against the big fella.

my point in this is that i don't see it being particularly problematic for their relationship just because of prior dealings. banner himself was conflicted enough about the hulk, not like he'd have overwhelming animosity towards someone trying to eradicate what he himself has hated for large stretches.

Though, of course, you couldn't help yourself:

>Much like The Dark Knight spun the table towards “darker hero fims,” The Avengers has defiantly spun it right back. With clever writing, developed characters, exceptional visual storytelling, and the right man at the helm, you can make earnest fun entertainment that captures the magic of cinema without needing gritty realism or darkness.

It literally changed the face of what expectations of a comic film were. Its influence will be heavily felt on the new Spider-Man and Superman movies-- no small feat.

But I think The Avengers making so much dough and being such a success will make people less scared to make a big comic book movie that *isn't* dark. Gigantic successes cause trends.

Was nice to be refreshed by watching the previous Marvel flicks and see the after credits build up.

By the time we hid midnight I was getting anxious as fuck.

I don't have anything original to add nor do I feel like it, but let me just say HOLY FUCK THAT SHIT WAS INCREDIBLE.

It's not a matter of 'when' I see it again, but how many times.

80. "Casting wise it was a good choice"
In response to Reply # 75


  

          

Black Widow helps to balance out an already all male cast.

Jeremy Renner is the new Bourne and action dude, they probably got him cheap. Plus you kind of need Hawkeye since he's basically THEE Avenger...dude stays in that team in some shape way or form and has lead it for long stretches in the comic.

Black Panther will show up soon. Most fanboys agree that the roster of the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon, is Marvel's immediate goal for the live action franchises. If you buy that, it's only a matter of time before we see T'Challa, Wasp, and Henry Pym.

My guess is that those three will be introduced in the next round of solo movies, and will suit up officially in Avengers 2 a la Black Widow (Iron Man 2) and Hawkeye (Thor).

Also, vibranium was mentioned by name in the Captain America flick. I wouldn't be surprised to see Tony Stark politicking with T'Challa in Iron Man 3, trying to score some for a new and improved Iron Man suit.

I can't recall if anyone else laughed when I saw it but I laughed loud enough for the entire theater regardless

I'm still not sure which imax you're referring to tho. I always go to the one by the Key. Is the other one on the pier?

Instead of going through the gate and down the ramp to the boeing theater, you go up the stairs and hang a right. Its the building right next door. I never knew they had 2 imax screens right there. the paccar auditorium is smaller and chairs less comfortable

82. "Started off a bit slow but overall, fantastic"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I wasn't fully engaged until the scene between Thor and Loki but everything definitely picked up to a fever pitch after Thor's introduction.

The toughest part of pulling off an Avengers movie was always going to be balancing all the characters and Whedon pulled it off beautifully. Not only do you get a balanced dosage of each but we even got deeper into character's, particularly Black Widow. Extremely well done.

Character wise, Downey Jr. stole the show as Iron Man but as everyone else has stated, Hulk leaves you (and Loki lol) with a very lasting impression. I thought Evans as Captain America was excellent, I loved seeing him in his element as the strategical leader. Hiddleston nailed the condescending and arrogance of Loki while Hemsworth, Renner, Scarlett, Skarsgard held their own as well. Samuel L. did his thing, oscillating between calm and firey. Just solid, solid performances all around.

Visually, and imo this is the biggest compliment you can give a heavy CGI movie, I found myself fully immersed in the world. Obviously you know you're headed into an extreme reality since it's a super-hero movie but never did any of the visuals detract from the reality. There were also some tremendous scenes visually....the Hulk's first in the darkened corridors while chasing Black Widow was tremendous. Not only visually, but it really reminded you of just how menacing he is. The final battle was chalk full of great shots but my favorite, and I'm very likely not in the minority, was the one 'continuous' shot that linked all the Avengers in battle. Fantastic.

The script did an excellent job of balancing comedy with more serious undertones, and the lack of a major storyline was a needed choice as the multitude of characters required such an investment of time.

The score played beautifully as well. Never overpowering but played up just enough in the right spots.

Just extremely well done all-around and am definitely going to watch again to catch some of the details I may have missed(there's a lot going on). Still not my favorite superhero movie, that title still belongs to Iron Man 1 (I consider Nolan's Batman series in a different genre) for me, particularly since I'm just really nerdy and absolutely love every time Stark gets into making/tinkering with his suit lol.

Really enjoyable, it took me back to the days where I'd play superhero battles with my toys

I thought that all of the leads (Sam Jack, Downey, Ruffalo, and Evans in particular) were terrific

Loved both "tags" (the scenes after the credits)

I have criticisms but I'm not going to get into them for fear of being told that I "don't like fun" or "only enjoy joyless stuff" or whatever

And after seeing the latest trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man, I think that THAT's the film cats should be comparing this to... Dark Knight is in an entirely different class of "superhero movie"...

Had that same feeling towards the end

I didn't like his solo movie much but I don't think he was given a lot to work with there either. The power/leadership struggle between him & Stark was played perfect by both "leads".

>I have criticisms but I'm not going to get into them for fear
>of being told that I "don't like fun" or "only enjoy joyless

Smart man. Had a change of heart & went easy on em for somewhat similar reasons.

I've actually been avoiding the Spidey trailers with the hope I'll be pleasantly surprised when/if I do see it. The one thing I waited for but never got in The Avengers, was an action scene on the level of the plane hijack in TDKR prolugue. But yeah, entirely different as the fantasy element & CGI isn't so dominant in the latter.

for me it was when Loki and ScarJo met. I thought a lot of the first 30 minutes had tons of dead space (lines and scenes that just hung in the air) and needed better transitions.

>Visually, and imo this is the biggest compliment you can give
>a heavy CGI movie, I found myself fully immersed in the world.

I wanted even MOAR CGI. of all the times to go nuts with computers, any movie with a Norse god, flying armored man and green giant would seem to be the best. when Captain America reflects Iron Man's repulsors into an enemy? EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. break all the rules, and drop any hand-to-hand combat in the sequel unless it's truly exceptional.

awesome movie, but one of my two complaints. i kinda felt like the first half hour or so was kinda slow.

2nd, i didnt like loki very much. better put, i didn't find him a great villain & since he was pretty much under control for most of the movie (i get that it was part of his plan) dude just didn't worry me. it just seemed like he wasn't even close to being a match for the avengers.

based off the post-credits stuff though, I'm assuming this wont be a problem in Avengers 2.

still, I have this 3rd on 'superher movies' after the dark knight & iron man 2

I have no problem with people being excited, hype, geeked, etc for a movie....but please refrain from making loud noises, cheering, yelling out comments during the damn movie. It's extremely distracting and takes me of the immersion and full enjoyment of the theater experience.

Going to go watch this again in a couple weeks.

With Downey/Starks swagger, a great Ruffalo/Hulk performance and Whedon managing to frame Thor's corn with good quips from Ironman and "physical" Hulk reactions, Captain's cheese was just hard to cover up. Hawkeye even made more sense on the screen than he did going in.

And I really dislike 3d. The whole movie was 3d at the Imax showing and only for short periods during the battles did it get muddled. Overall it didn't bother me and was pretty well done. Next time though I will see the regular screen and compare.

92. "There's two credits scenes if anyone's wondering."
In response to Reply # 0


          

One mid credits, and one after.

Thought it was really cool. Loved all the humor.

I can't ride with the best superhero movie ever sentiment though, and I do think some people are overhyping it.

Not much more to say.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I basically made this sentiment earlier based off the reviews you all posted here, but now that I've seen it myself it rings even truer in my mind. With so much happening he kept the pace just right with the right mix of character moments, dialogue, and action. The best thing was his sense of humor in the little quips and quick wit moments. Ah, the humor, often unexpected, is what I miss from his shows, especially Firefly. He really knocked the movie out the damn park!

102. "Iron Man 3 (co-starring Hulk)"
In response to Reply # 0


          

loved:
- while I can't dig RDJ in nearly anything else, Iron Man is so perfect for him (he carried the overall bleh personalities of his teammates) and Ruffalo was the Ghostface Killah to his Raekwon
- I hated on Hiddleston in Thor, but he grew into Loki and killed it
- THE LAST HOUR

didn't like:
- the first 40 minutes were s-l-o-w; every conversation was about six lines too long
- action scenes before NYC were uncreative (I needed X2 Nightcrawler / Magneto, original Matrix, genre-bending shit...instead, we got Seagal combat and taking turns flinging each other 50 feet)
- to that point, more CGI, and a better costume for Cap'n (he looked puny)
- OMG the fucking bloodied Captain America trading cards...corniest shit EVAR

was it worth a half-decade of hype and five prequels? well, no. maybe only the perfect movie could've justified that. but I felt awesome at the end, which is that rare feeling you search for at movies. flaws and all, it was literally a comic book on the screen -- major credit to Whedon just for that.

I'm expecting Avengers 2 to be even better, since they can skip the "behind the super team" assemblage and have a *perfect* villain ready to go.

In response to Reply # 0


          

http://blog.melanism.com/2012/05/04/movie-of-the-week-marvels-the-avengers/

Marvel’s The Avengers was so fun and satisfying that I’m not sure if we ever need another comic book movie again.

I’ll admit, the movie starts slow and a little clunky. Writer/director Joss Whedon takes his time getting all his pieces on the chess board but once Captain America (Chris Evans) dons his new (but visually less appealing) uniform, the movie starts to take off.

The most impressive aspect of the movie is how funny it is. I think I could watch an entire movie of Captain America, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) bouncing off one another with Loki (Tom Hiddleston) riling them up. Whedon gets a lot of mileage out of their differences. He gives each hero at least one character moment (except Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye who is off the board for most of the film) so by the time the big battle starts, you are rooting for everyone.

Oh and what a battle it is. The last 30 minutes or so may be the most awesome action movie set piece ever filmed. It’s like the action in Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon except you can actually see what’s happening and care. Seeing Thor fighting alongside Captain America or Hawkeye and Black Widow showing their worth among their super-powered colleagues was like a geek dream come true. However, none of them top the Hulk. I guess third time’s a charm when it comes to cinematic interpretations of the green giant. Between Ruffalo’s humorous and controlled Banner and CGI that didn’t make him look like Shrek, Whedon finally got the Hulk right. You will cheer and laugh when you see the Hulk unleashed against Loki’s alien army.

30 minutes after the movie, I wonder if this film could be topped in terms of superhero spectacle. After one viewing, I’m ready to declare it the best superhero movie ever (I don’t count The Dark Knight. That’s more like a drama with comic book characters). I’m sure there are smaller, personal stories to be told about the various comic book properties but when we get to the big action sequence at the end, can anything possibly live up to the last 30 minutes of The Avengers? I hope I’m wrong.

This is the best comic book movie I've ever seen. Yes better than Dark Knight, better than Spidey 2, and better than X2.

And Captain America was my 2nd favorite in the film.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

i'll see this movie at least two more times in the next week.

wow. wow. wow.

my only complaints are the slow first hour and Thor not being quite powerful enough for my tastes.

but, i mean, after that last hour who cares about any of that.

Awesomeness ranking

1) Hulk. They finally got it right.
2) Cap. Just a souped up version of a regular guy who everyone listens to and who thrashes aliens with a trash can lid
3) Black Widow and Hawkeye (tie). Never in my life did I think they could make the B team so awesome. I want movies for each of them now.
4) Iron Man. I thought they nailed the dynamic between Tony and Steve Rodgers wonderfully. Tony's got everything in the world, and sometimes he can get confused. Cap is the guy who reminds him what's right.
5) Thor. I thought Thor got a little bit of a short shrift. He's at least the equal of the Hulk in power set, so I thought he should have gotten to do more cool stuff. But maybe it's all relative, because he got to do PLENTY of cool stuff.

There's just so much cool stuff.

Wow.

In response to Reply # 0


          

There's some clunky storytelling in the set-up but it really picks-up steam once they're all assembled at SHIELD. Aside from a few poor readings from Scarlett (who makes the 3D worth it), all of the leads are great. Whedon just gets every single character right and the scope is legitimately epic. I think Whedon understands his source material better than Nolan has with Batman. You can argue Dark Knight is a better film but I left Avengers with way more of a desire to see it again.

the Russian guy who interrogates ScarJo was played by legendary Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski. I almost bugged out when I saw his name in the credits

otherwise a good fun movie. As usual with these tentpole flicks I wish they would try to keep it under 2 hours, but the last 1 hour was so great I don't really have an issue with that. With this, Prometheus and DKR, this summer might go for GOAT summer movie slate.

I agree that it started off slowly but that's to be expected because there was a lot of info to take in.
I especially was pleasantly surprised at how Black Widow was written and how she wasn't just eye candy.

Initially I would roll me eyes whenever the previews had that hero shot of The Avengers together and ScarJo standing their with her little 9mm.
She was really good and integral to the team and story.

Really enjoyed this and on a sidenote thought the new trailer for Spiderman was flames too.

What the fuck am I gonna watch for the rest of summer? It's all downhill from here. I'm still amped for TDKR, but man... Avengers all but destroyed my excitement for anything else. We were supposed to see Think Like A Man today, which my fiance and I have been excited for from the first preview, but it may not happen. Why? We want to see the Avengers again. Namely, The Hulk. SPOILER:






Hulk V Loki was my personal highlight. We've got Loki in all his condescending glory, talking down to Hulk like he was the fat slow kid in gym class... and then getting one of most brutal-slash-comical ass whoopins received by a villain I've ever seen. It was great to see them extend the Marvel Studios brand of humor to the Hulk, which is one thing that was sorely missing from Norton's flick. There was so much to love about both Banner and "The Other Guy" and he was easily my favorite part of the movie. I hope we don't have to wait 4 years until Avengers 2 to see him again.

In response to Reply # 0


          

I mean I get it, NYC is the symbol of America, and if it is destroy and you see an aftermath I guess it is almost impossible for it not to look like, well, 9/11, but for some reason the destruction mixed with seeing the NYC firefighters did something to me.

Like it took me out of the amazing amount of fun I was having and made me think, however briefly, about 9/11.

I'm sure I'm the only one that thought that and let me say for the record that despite this point I still thought it was an amazing movie.

Double LOL@you thinking that was anywhere remotely close to a "10". The world- here or otherwise- doesn't really revolve around what you need. And that's your problem.

>I know you can find some other way to address me that
>involves a billions times more the amount of respect than what
>you are currently giving me.

You don't really warrant respect though, so you won't get it. You're a constant whiner and this lame ass "oh but it reminded me of 9/11! I love the movie but I just had to find SOMETHING to piss and moan about!" does nothing to help that. So, like I said, go make another "I'm leaving but not really!" thread in GD and don't ruin good posts with your whining.

213. "A make-believe alien invasion led by a fictional god is too close for me..."
In response to Reply # 204


          

The robot aliens that flooded the streets were just like the middle eastern muslim extremests that hijacked some planes.

That crazy portal to another dimension that was opened above the fictional Stark Tower and didn't destroy the tower was JUST like a 747 being flown into the twin towers and destroying it.

Loki, the half crazy God of Mischeif from Asgard, who lead the whole thing? JUST LIKE BIN LADEN. Spooky how similar that was.

All those explosions that came up from the ground in the middle of the street? JUST LIKE THE TOWERS FALLING. How eerie!

Oh, and the cube, what with it's limitless energy? JUST LIKE FOREIGN OIL, which was REALLY the reason for 9/11!!! HOLY SHIT!!

Yeah, I mean, pretty much any fictional destruction of NY is JUST LIKE 9/11 to a lot of people, no matter how different it is. This one was pretty much nothing like 9/11, unless middle eastern islamic extremists were running through the streets of NY murking people after arriving via inter dimensional portal that was opened by a magical artifact by a pissed off norse god, doing heavy damage to a bunch of buildings that are all still standing.

129. "fuck Michael Bay"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

and fuck all of y'all who were in here defending the Transformers franchise.

this is how you do action.

despite the chaos of the final scene, i always had a sense of where characters were, who were the bad guys, what the objective was, what action was taking place, etc.

the last third of this movie is better than Michael Bay's entire family lineage.

they even managed to pull off a little character development. and bonus points for delivering one of the greatest moments i've ever had in a theatre (Hulk + Loki).

the first 30-45 minutes does drag a bit; there was definitely some fat to cut there. but that's a pretty tiny nitpick for what is clearly one of the best superhero movies ever made.

...it went full fucking throttle!!

The only thing I found bothersome was, it seemed to have taken awhile to show the Hulk. And when they did it was a bit anti-climactic to me, especially with him going after Black Widow. Once he and Thor got to rumbling I was with it.

Otherwise, great fucking movie. The dialogue was just interesting enough to keep it from dragging, especially in the beginning. And the CGI was flawless. I've seen it twice already.

When I saw it, half the crowd was like "wut?" and the other half started cheering.

I wonder though. They're going to do the Infinity Gauntlet? How can they even tackle that one without the Silver Surfer???

Not necessarily. However, the Infinity Gems, The Cosmic Cube, and some other intergalactic goodies were in Odin's treasure room in the Thor movie.

It would have to be on a massive scale.

Dr. Strangelove, Silver Surfer, Galactus, Adam Warlock....

Unless they went with an original storyline altogether, I don't really see how they could pull it off. It's too much. And the battling on other planets thing has way to high a potential to be corny.

PLUS they would have to be way better about tying the movies together than they were in the past. I doubt seriously that they would be that calculating about it.

It was still cool to see Thanos on screen...

LOL, what?

I mean, he is generic in a "conqueror of worlds" kinda way. Power-wise though, he would be a VERY formidable villain for this roster of Avengers even without the Infinity Gems.

In response to Reply # 146


          

Mark Ruffalo was better than Eric Bana and Edward Norton as Bruce Banner...surprisingly, cause I normally don't care for him.

And the Hulk was easily one of the best parts of The Avengers.

I think it had the right amount of Hulk Smash! Whereas with the last two movies, I just got bored.

Based on how well Avengers is doing, we're clearly going to get another Hulk movie, as well as another Iron Man, Thor and Captain America movie...(and maybe even a Hawkeye, Black Widow and Nick Fury movie, not to mention Dr. Strange), but I like Hulk waaaay more as the scene-stealing supporting character.

200. "Joss Whedon Agrees (swipe)"
In response to Reply # 155


  

          

>he's perfect as a supporting character.


^^^ It's abundantly clear that Joss *gets it*....

http://nerdbastards.com/2012/05/07/post-avengers-what-comes-next-for-marvel-films/

per Kevin Feige (Marvel Studios President):

Everyone loves Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk. So another solo film now, right?

"I think Joss is much more eloquent about this than I am, but Hulk is seemingly more suited for an ensemble piece were he can be the loose canon, the unpredictable bad boy. You can’t get the same kind of moments necessarily when its a stand-alone movie and everything is on shoulders. Joss just said this earlier today: Bruce Banner spends all his time saying, “I don’t want to turn into the Hulk, I don’t want Hulk to come out.” But the audience wants the exact opposite! Obviously that is part of the nature of Bruce Banner and that is a part of The Avengers, but he has evolved to a point that he wouldn’t have been able to if we hadn’t taken him through The Incredible Hulk. Now we find him a little more at piece with it all. And it’s not until he meets Tony Stark and exposed to the other heroes of the Avengers that he is willing to go for it – in that moment that we won’t spoil here."



"Inspectah Deck, he's like...he's like that dude thatta sit back and watch you play yourself and all that right? And see you sit there and know you lyin; and he'll take you to court after that, cuz he the Inspectah."

..robert downey jr is the only cast member crackin' the top 50

believe it or not, i think the most impressive thing about the prospect of more avengers films is the fact that they can switch up the cast without missin' a beat (or losin' fans).

and i hate to say it, but terrence howard already took the warnin' shot for anyone else who might be considerin' leverage for more $$$.

besides, what actor in their right mind hasn't dreamed of playing a super hero/villian in a blockbuster film?

In response to Reply # 165


  

          

i think they were courting Chris Evans forever but he didn't want to commit to 3-4 movies.

if you think about it, you're basically putting your career on hold for a little under a decade. it's guaranteed work, which is every actor's dream, but unless you want to sacrifice your vacation time, you're probably not gonna work on many other films in that period.

In response to Reply # 183


  

          

..while this franchise could possibly span 2, 3, or even 4 more films, its not like they film for half a year for each movie.

most of this current cast has been pretty busy over the past 2-3 yrs, and i doubt that'll stop anytime soon.

evans, hemsworth, jojo, renner, & ruffalo are all in constant hollywood rotation and we know samuel l. jackson is the hardest workin' man in the business.


..and miles to go before i sleep...

honestly, i don't *even* think a Justice League movie could even come *CLOSE* to what Zak Penn, Joss Whedon and Co. did with The Avengers.

them DC fanboys might have to sit the fuck down and shut up...

really.

cause The Avengers was the shit!

it's not the characters, it's the approach
DC needs to learn to play in their own park, that's all
stop trying to make them be something they're not, and play to the strengths of the mythology
that's what Marvel just did

I mean, the shit was already all star status through the first 2/3rd. But when Hulk punched the ever-loving-shit out of that thing, it became legendary. I wanted to jump out of my seat and scream 'FUCK YEAH!!!' at that point but contained myself. Barely.

So much I could say, and will, but I need to let it soak in tonight, see it again, then have at it. Go see this movie.

Pretty much everything has been said already about how great this movie is. I got 3 thoughts.


1. Capt America's costume was horrible. I just dont even know what they could of done. I liked the retro costume.

2. I was hoping that those alien beings were Skrulls but alas no. I dont know I might be the only one but I want the Skrulls to show up in a marvel movie. I guess if they do another Fantastic 4 (ugh) they will show up.

3. MOTHERFUCKING THANOS!

In response to Reply # 199


          

I agree 100% that, if you replaced the main characters with non-iconic characters, the movie wouldn't have been nearly as much fun. But, at the same time, I think you have to give Whedon some credit for just having fun with it and leaning on the characters and not trying to force in a meaning like Bryan Singer did (which is one reason I felt like the X-Men flicks always had weak endings.)

It wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't great to me. I have no desire to see it again. I've never read a comic book in my life, so I realize that this wasn't necessarily "for me," but I just didn't think there was anything special about it other than the fact that there was a bunch of superheroes in one movie.

it was slow in the beginning but they did have to set up all of the relationships between characters and their various storylines and backstories with each other and themselves, etc.

but that was ok. the movie was well written and you (at least I didn't) didn't mind the slow build up.

a few things:

shout out to Cleveland, Ohio being used as a stand in for Stuttgart, Germany. props to the location and set designers who worked on that transformation.

--Jeremy Renner: nothing personal, but he's not a leading man. *great* supporting/character actor. But, leading man? No. He was great as Hawkeye...i think he'd be fine from here on out doing character/supporting work. But, watching him in this movie...yea, i'm sure the bourne reboot will be fine. but, i just can't see him carrying a movie well...

But, it was a really good movie. One i'd gladly see quite a few times also and *will* be getting the BlueRay/DVD when it comes out.

Plus, great writing by Zak Penn and Joss Whedon. Say what you want, but I breathe a sigh of a relief as a writer seeing Joss Whedon's name under the Written By/Story By title card..because he's fucking amazing at writing charaters and writing period.

Great movie.

not A+ because:

- Hawkeye. They tried - it didn't work. My son said: he has like 20 arrows, how do you fight aliens when those run out? It just didn't work for me. Seriously, everyone else showed why they fit on the team not him

Also:

- when Black Widow pulled out the two handguns was I the only one reminded of the Harlem Knights shoot out scene with Arsenio ("What you gonna do with that little sh*t??!)?

Best Scene: (Tie)

1. Loki/Black Widow - this is the only scene in my opinion where Loki had the proper undercurrent of menace. Up to that point my thought was "they needed a guy with a little more scenery-chewing skill like Khan/Ricardo Montalban"

2. Hulk punching a space-whale-brothership. THAT is the coolest moment in a superhero movie (the ragdoll beatdown was good, but funny good - the punch was OH.MY.DAMN)

Worst Scene: Coulson. They didn't *HAVE* to do that ("This wouldn't work unless they had something to....." <----- boo on that)

yea it was bright blue...that's right!

That's how was able to control Hawkeye, the doctor and everyone else who was working for him.

the infinity gem basically is mind control, right?

that line was said in the midst on an arguement (I heard it like: you so bad - forget all this talking, put your suit on and lets fight). guys do that in real life ALL the time ("do something then!") pissing contest ish.

it also was a set up for the "joke" when it was repeated when he REALLY needed to "put on the suit" so they could go do their hero-thing

i saw it as a weird kind of "male bonding" scene

you don't think it was funny (or don't like the movie in general) - okay

but that is a hella weak example to prove your point

seems like it would be simpler to just give examples of what you mean instead of asking a question which has an obvious response

But even if he hadn't in the comics, it would have just made sense for him to be there in the "movie-verse". The world is being invaded by aliens and you have an extra super-armor suit out there, but he's going to sit out the fight? lol.

They could have at least had a throwaway line about him. In the end though it's not like it ruined the movie or anything.

245. "The upcoming Marvel Studios slate:"
In response to Reply # 0


          

The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Iron Man 3 = May 3, 2013

Thor 2 = November 15, 2013

Captain America 2 = April 4, 2014

And then there's another date set for a yet undetermined movie = May 16, 2014

There are rumors galore as to what movie could be there (the leading one is Edgar Wright's Ant-Man), among them, Hulk 2, SHIELD, Black Widow, Guardians of the Galaxy, Inhumans, Black Panther, Dr. Strange... with Avengers sequel coming sometime in 2015 (based on ppl's opinions and media trends, etc).

BUT

I'm thinking that date is saved for The Avengers 2, thanks to this opening weekend, and the reasoning why Marvel hasn't released any information for a movie in that slot yet, gauging the interest in this epic we just watched.

I still think it should be something new, like Ant-Man, with another in early 2015, like a SHIELD movie focusing on Nick Fury, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, with an Avengers sequel in later 2015.

I doubt their sequels will be any more memorable. even Iron Man 2 was a dud, and that was following a *lot* stronger original movie.

of course they'll all make money and keep the main franchise relevant, which is what the studios and Marvel care about, but I can't see getting excited over more cock-teasing.

In response to Reply # 251


          

Marvel basically sacrificed quality in Iron Man 2, Captain America (to a lesser extent), and Thor in order to make them set-up films for Avengers. I'm not sure if they're going to do that again for Avengers 2 (although I wouldn't be stunned if Thor was always the one that has to sacrifice story for the greater good of the franchise.)

strictly because Shane Black is doing it and he's imho responsible for the Downey Jr. comeback train with Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.

The current era neurotic maniac with clever quips Downey started with with that film...assuming everyone stays hands off it's gonna be solid.

it was almost a parody of Tarantino dialogue, except they were earnest about it. I did like Kilmer's performance.

maybe they get back on track after Iron Man 2 tho, which was basically one long trailer. we'll see.

Watch the Thor 2.

I liked Captain America well enough, found it a solid film but nothing special but I am not very excited for a sequel.

I would love a Black Panther movie.

I hope the 3rd Iron Man includes a lot of War Machine because I would love go see WM included in the next Avengers movie. My only real complaint with this Avengers was they completely ignored War Machine.

They don't need to do ANYTHING to hinder DC's ability to recover. Batman is an abberation because Nolan is a fucking genius- but TDKR is still the swan song, so what next? Does anyone really think Zack Snyder is gonna do anything that even approaches Marvel's current universe or Nolan's Batman world with Supes? Anyone think Wonder Woman is the answer to the 6 headed Avengers/Iron Man/Cap/Thor/Hulk monster run of films? GL not only didn't keep them in the race, it set them back a ways.

It might happen, at the end of Avengers Banner leaves with Stark. Perhaps he took Stark up on that R&D offer.

272. "Overhyped & overrated (SPOILERS)"
In response to Reply # 0


          

Yes, I hate to be THAT dude, but just because you finally see these superheros do their thing, does NOT mean this is the "best comic book movie ever"

When you look at the story itself, it's a TOTAL MESS. It was a lame simplistic story that is as cliche as anything else you ever seen. Hell, I could of SWORN they bit the final act from Transformers Dark of the Moon. Loki getting captured was clearly a filler part of the story because the PLOT was horrifically paper thin. The whole invisible stealth bomber was lame, ESPECIALLY when you have Hawkeye still be able to sneak up on it with a fleet and attack it. Nuking NYC, DID NOT MAKE SENSE WHATSOEVER, except for it giving a reason to conclude this lame story by having Ironman do the MOST PREDICTABLE & CLICHE thing everyone could of thought of doing, which makes it MORE ridiculous because just because the mothership explodes, suddenly the aliens they're already fighting dies...like it's Phantom Menace all over again, or Independence day...or whatever.

I could go on and on on the flaws in this movie. I wanted to like this badly, but I didn't feel like Loki was a threat, but more like a JOKE getting punked by everyone left and right. The aliens coming out and CONVENTIONAL weapons were getting them fucked up. NYC (again) getting destroyed with no civilians seen getting killed! It just got on my nerves. Nick Fury being used like he was a damn PAPERWEIGHT, with no real purpose at all.

And I hate I am the minority of this, but the uselessness of Hawkeye and Black Widow, you may as well should of replaced them with the ORIGINAL comic book members, ANT MAN and WASP! especially since we weren't having backstories of them anyway!

I could go on and on. But I'll leave it at that for now.

This felt like, to me, the G.I. Joe of Marvel (yes, I know G.I. Joe was part of Marvel at one time, not the point thou, lol)

In response to Reply # 0


          

The humor stands up nicely. It's admittedly hard to NOT to smirk a little at the "America..... FUCK YEAH!! undertones whenever Cap is on screen, but I digress.

Funny thing though was my fiance and I went to see it again, and she's been jokingly calling Thanos "Hellboy" since opening night. So, in the theater, she kept teasing me by calling him Hellboy. On the way out, one of the employees was talking to a couple others about hearing "some stupid girl swearing it was Hellboy. I mean... HELLO, THAT'S DC COMICS!!! HE'S NOT EVEN MARVEL".

So he says this just as we walk by I say, "Or maybe she was just joking. Oh, and it's Dark Horse Comics, by the way". His coworkers laughed at him, and one of them called him shitty excuse for a nerd told him he got PWNED. I laughed and rolled me eyes, and a good time was had by all.

that was such an ill scene, it was muted by my having already seen it.

that's my only serious complaint with the film. as great as it was, would have made the final payoff that much sweeter if we as viewers didn't know that was going to happen.

despite the attack being focused on only one area

that's good....and transformers is shit?

I mean, why did the invading army send out - what - 25 dudes at first?

Then, wait for them to get tightened up, and send....100 more?

They were an invading band of mercenaries, at best.

The above things are plot points I notice when the action - or Scarlett Johansen - are not enough to engross me.

The past is my foundation, not my preoccupation.

...because they still saw humans as weak and easily controlled. Remember how that minion, during the Thanos scene, talked about how the humans aren't so easily conquerable after all.

323. "Transformers was actually Spielberg hate"
In response to Reply # 320


          

misguided at Bay.

Yes, Bay deserves some blame because the Transformers were nearly impossible to tell apart once they were battling and Skids and Mudflap were horrified but the main problem with the franchise is that Spielberg said it should be about a boy and his car. NO! It's about big fucking giant robots fighting over the fate of the Earth (and, to a certain extent, their own race.)
Too much of the franchise wasted time with Sam Witwicky, who would ultimately become pretty fucking useless in the climatic scenes of each film since he's a little dude and it's a battle of monstrous robots. It's like if the Avengers spent less time on The Avengers and quintupled the time spent on Hawkeye and Black Widow's relationship problems.
On top of the focus being too much on Shia and Megan, it also meant that there was nearly nothing more than archetypal characters and personalities for the Transformers, you know, the guys the franchise is named after and the reason people are going to the movie.

Add into the fact that Whedon is better with dialogue than Orci/Kurtzman could ever dream to be and the Avengers wisely used previous movies to establish the characters and you get a more entertaining film albeit still cliched and, more often than not, illogical.

The problem is that there are plenty of action movies that have as good/better set pieces,  ALONG with other things that actually make up like a movie like plot or characters. If action pieces were all you needed then the last two Matrix movies would be classics just for the highway scene alone.

Something like the last Fast and Furious show you why his movies suck in comparison.  Mindnumbingly awesome scenes, and when shit wasn't getting blown up/destroyed comedy that wasnt delivered by racist robots and characters with actual charisma riffing off of each other like a buddy cop film...not a pudgy pretty boy and his car.

see this isn't true. while some of the movies are shit (transformers 2, pearl harbor), others are great (bad boys 1, the island) with proper tension and pacing that allows for great action sequences.

no. Fast and the Furious proves that people don't understand what makes a good action movie. the last flick was completely useless because none of the sequences made any sense at all. you could compare it to bad boys 2 and everything that happened in cuba, but the stuff that happened before that was actually plot-supported.

With logical set pieces in 2012. I'd agree with the argument that the. "Fight for Manhattan" scene could have been much better & relied a bit too much on charm in Advengers. I won't, however, knock the movie for having a wide mile gap between logic and plot; it's been at least a decade since a summer flick bothered and Bay is a big reason why IMHO. The action blockbuster has just moved away from it.

Bad Boys 2 is a GREAT fucking flick, IMHO Bay's best and an example of the best of the genre. But the plot was written by a 8 year old high on pixie sticks. Nobody really cares though.

it's not what people want, they make action movies for women and frank longo who don't care whether it makes sense or not. see: live free and die hard. WHY WAS BRUCE WILLIS WALKING AROUND ON A PLANE AS IT WAS FLYING

nah, bad boys 1 was better in all the ways that count, The Island was his high point but it got caught up in all the bs over whether or not in movie advertising was a bad thing. now everyone does it and it never gets talked about, and it's a movie practically no one saw.

Well, in The Island, they ride on top of a metal letter that falls over a hundred stories and simply walk away, not to mention all the insane inhuman shit that happens in the Transformer movies. And I totally love The Island. But that doesn't matter. We just disagree on what makes action movies fun.

To me, it's clearly the worst movie he made with Bruckheimer - the others being Bad Boys 1, The Rock, and Armageddon. (Can't remember if Pearl Harbor was Bruckheimer. If it is, that might be the worst, then Bad Boys 2)

340. "The Rock was better."
In response to Reply # 335


  

          

But to me Bad Boys II had a couple of things going for it; it was a Hard-R movie when the industry was moving away from it, it was a good buddy cop movie at a time where only Rush Hour was doing it correctly...and the action was gleefully over the top with the budget to pull it off (Cuban invasion...dodging the bodies getting dropped during the getaway scene).

Only way I can describe it is that imho the og Badboys and The Rock were better movies, but Bad Boys 2 was fun as hell (although, in hindsight, The Rock had em both, that's the current winner in his catalog)

From Vanessa Marcil in pigtails to Cage doing Cage the right way, to Ed Harris being an actual three dimensional villain and not the usual archetype, it's a classic actioner IMO

I haven't even seen the Transformers movie. I imagine they are all bad though.

My dislike of Michael Bay started with Armageddon, honestly one of the worst Hollywood movies I've ever seen.

The Rock and the Bad Boy movies are not good, but at least I can enjoy them on as comedies that are even more enjoyable when you factor in the unintentional comedy.

Really I, and I think a lot of people in general, dislike Michael Bay mostly for backing so many bad-idea remakes, including Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hitcher, Amityville Horror, Friday the 13th AND Nightmare on Elm Street. Like many people, I start to cringe when I hear "A Michael Bay Film" before I even know if he directed it or just produced it.

The Avengers wasn't terrific. But, I mean, it wasn't trying to be arthouse cinema. Like every big budget Hollywood film, you'll see holes in it if you think about it for longer than two minutes. But I mean, does it really do credit to Michael Bay if you're like, "How can people like that shitty action movie and not like Michael Bay's shitty action movies?"

TO A MOVIE YOU DIDN'T FUCKING SEE

I get that you've been brainwashed by other dumb motherfuckers, but seriously, read that back to yourself and hopefully whatever portion of your psyche that still thinks critically and for itself should flick on for a moment and say "wow, did I just do that? why would I possibly defend one movie for being dumb fun and criticize another movie I again, DID NOT SEE"

probably won't happen.


also you FUCKING DUMB PIECE OF SHIT

I have seen absolutely zero of these movies. why? because anyone with a brain knew they'd suck. don't blame me because you were too stupid to not watch movies that clearly sucked ass. you and a lot of people in general should collectively take long walks off of short fucking piers.

Take it down a notch. We're talking about a superhero movie.

It looks sooooooo bad to see the OK after your name, followed by 'you dumb fucking piece of shit' or 'kill yourself' or whatever.

I thought I addressed myself clearly. I didn't respond to your comment about Transformers specifically, but Michael Bay in general. My basis for him being a bad filmmaker comes from seeing not Transformers, but other movies. I think defending him by bashing another unrelated movie is a weak case.

If you disagree, fine, make your point and we'll move on. If it's a good point I'll even be like, okay, that's valid.

Start making juvenile insults and you not only make yourself look bad and immature, you make this site look bad.

I mean, if Orbit_Established ever became a moderator here, I'd be gone for good.

In response to Reply # 309


  

          

People's critiquing of a movie is almost always partly based on their subjective viewpoints/biases....meaning they'll overlook flaws in a movie they liked while harping on very similar ones in a movie they didn't(which you already alluded to with the Michael Bay action scene). It pretty much happens in any discussion on any topic (especially in OKS lol), but always glad when someone calls it out.

I'm not going to argue back and forth about it.

Although I will say it shits all over Transformers 1 (and the parts of 2 that I've seen). I'll even go out on a limb and assume it's better than part 3.

He was geeking out over the possibility of Thanos (which he also claimed was his idea to have in the end) so I think this is just a move to make it known that the studio has to want him to do it and he gets to do it on his terms so he doesn't run into the mess that is dealing with movie studios (and that, for one example, Sam Raimi dealt with on Spiderman 3.)

I waited a week, cuz I didn't want to deal with the crowds. also, because I hadn't bought the movie on hype alone.

I didn't think it was very good. sticking just to comic movies, Watchmen was probably better. yeah, I said it. and I'm a comics reader, got issues of Thor, Captain America, Iron Man et. al. boxed up in my closet right now.

so yeah -- shocker of shockers, when people besides opening weekend crowds, crowds who have been eagerly anticipating it b/c advertising has already sold them on it before they enter the theater, see the movie, reviews aren't so glowing.

I really liked this movie. I'm a big comic book nerd and the marvel universe is no exception. the only movies that i didn't see that lead up to this movie was the Incredible Hulk.

I wouldn't say this was one of my favorite big-budget action flicks but i was very much entertained and appreciated every character. Although Hawkeye and Black Widow were the least "exciting"...I guess there has to be regular non-superpower-mutant-whatever heroes in this.

Tony Stark provided most of the humor and feel-good moments. Banner/Hulk was funny too. Everyone else had their serious face on. I know they were trying to show that every member of the Avengers contributed to defeating the Chitauri...but Iron Man and the Hulk were THA SHIT.

I still love Captain America and Thor. Studs!

Anwyay, i'm really looking forward to the Thor 2 coming out next year.

i enjoyed it for the most part, but it wasn't cohesive. i don't think it's going to stand up well to the test of time at all. i can't see myself rewatching this at home when it comes out on blu-ray or VOD. my reaction to it was much like my reaction to Avatar, actually. Avengers had far wittier dialogue, but the story was just as half-assed. just as much of a back seat to the spectacle.

every time the Avengers fought one another it was the most annoying and contrived dumb shit ever too.

-30-
You know it's drama, but it sound real good.

358. "Bravo for Whedon and The Avengers"
In response to Reply # 357


  

          

I told my good friend an avid Marvel collector, that it was the best super hero movie ever and he asked did I forget about the Watchmen I told him nope that was the best graphic novel adaptation I had ever seen becuse technically they weren't super heros with the exception of Dr. Manhattan.

Whedon showed the world how to make a feel good epic comic book hero movie out of four pieced together solo flicks and make it fit together seemlessly...BRAVO

Goin from upside down to right side up at the speed of thought

Some shit I didn't like, such as them trying to pretend Iron Man is the livest one.

And Thor not getting as much play.

But hey Downey is a bigger star.

I loved it though. Better than I could've imagined.

I think Dark Knight is still hard to beat but this is just such a great movie, and the acting ain't bad either. I think this movie leaned a little more on the fun side, and damn near every superhero movie would probably be better with a R rating but this movie was on the Spiderman Dark Knight level of seeing the comic come alive.

PEACE LOVE and MONEY

Being in Houston, "real america" for the past week and rolling through the malls and shops, Thor's Hammer, Iron Man's Mask, Cap's Shield and Green Hands are all over.

Nick Fury, Black Widow, and Hawkeye don't seem to make for good toys, t-shirts, or commemorative plates.

375. "3 hour director's cut hitting theaters in August? "

http://www.scoop.it/t/the-billy-pulpit/p/1958149113/rumor-3-hour-director-s-cut-of-the-avengers-could-hit-theaters-in-august

Take this as nothing more than an internet rumor at the moment, but Geek Tyrant is reporting that Marvel/Disney might release Joss Whedon's 3-hour director's cut of Avengers into theaters this August. The move would help promote the upcoming Blu-Ray of the movie, which features a half-hour of deleted scenes, and it would push the film higher on the all-time box office chart. Currently it's at #3, behind Avatar and Titanic.

We certainly hope this is true, but we also have no idea what this extra half-hour of footage would actually bring to the movie. Would it make the alien invasion more interesting? Would we see more pithy banter between the heroes? Does Scarlett Johansson appear in a skimpy négligée at any point? We'll just have to wait and see.

i'd definitely check, would be damn interesting if people like this more than the initial release.

my wild shot in the dark guess is that it involves more hulk, since that is the point everyone loved, perhaps he cut parts out of him. who knows.

Don't need any of that. I need more Hulk fucking more shit up.
Add some extra Thor badassery too.

and it showed how he eventually became the leader of the group.

Not sure if that's what is going back in though.
