The Avengers Has The Largest Opening Of All Time

[Densetsu]

Also, I think it's only fair to try and explain how much I liked the movie. If Loki represents my skepticism going in, and The Hulk represents the film itself, here is my review for Marvel's The Avengers. (Warning: Light Spoilers Ahead. You Have Been Warned)

Spoiler

Best Hulk yet, no doubt.

Agreed. And also:

[titlene of the funniest moments in the movie; DO NOT CLICK if you haven't seen it yet!!!]

Hulk must hate all Asgardians.

Tony Stark had the best lines in the entire movie, by far.

I am going to pay my respects and watch this in IMAX 3D tomorrow. I already have a thing which rhymes with hopy but although the movie was good this is just something a black market can't satisfy me with I'm gonna watch it.

Gonna go out big since it's my first 3D movie. Goin with my bro and were getting big sodas and popcorn.

Can't wait to see Loki get pwned by Hulk for talking back. XD

 

[notmeanymore]

Best Hulk yet, no doubt.

He was a bit jarring at first since the way Ruffalo plays it and the way Norton plays it are pretty different but he was one of the most interesting characters in the movie.

I was so surprised they didn't bring Norton back, considering they alluded to The Avengers in his version of Hulk.

I like Ruffalo better, though.

Avengers is the end-all be-all of superhero movies.
In fact...

Spoiler

had they not shown Galactus in the middle of the credits,

I'd say they wouldn't need to make any more movies.

But of course, they're probably going to keep producing movies until the money runs dry, which I doubt will happen any time soon.

Go for it!
I had seen the movie twice on Friday with the first time being in Imax 3D and the other being a normal theatre's RealD 3D. By far, the Imax 3D is the way to go. I wasn't too impressed with the 3D itself but the difference in sound and video quality compared to a regular theatre was amazing for me.

Ummm...

That was not Galactus. It was Thanos.

Edward Norton was going to be a part of the Avengers, but there was a contract dispute. I'm not sure exactly what happened, though I think it revolved around the size of his paycheck; needless to say, it didn't work out and he left. Ruffalo basically became a last minute replacement, but hey, they made it work.

Also...

Spoiler

That isn't Galactus. It's Thanos, The Mad Titan. Apparently he's one of (if not the) greatest and most threatening villains in the Marvel Universe. If they want to raise the stakes for the inevitable sequel, it seems like he's the way to go.

 

[smile72]

I liked the Avengers. I wouldn't say it was the best film of the year. Though it probably will be the highest grossing

Yeah nah, Galactus was already in Rise of the Silver Surfer. He looked like a galaxy. That dude with the big chin was, as Nebz pointed out, this guy:

Avengers was great for a movie. But really, it is very predictable, I didn't get any "awwwww shit, didnt see that one coming" moments. Didn't have any actual depth as far as the storyline goes. Classic "team is very unteamlike - something happens to push them forward - team overcomes all odds"
Plus the trailer spoiled the cliffhanger at the end.
Don't get me wrong, Avengers was pretty good for a superhero movie, beats any Xmen movie by a landslide. But still can't compete with the Dark Knight. (in terms of complexity and shit)
I guess all the hype really paid off.

 

[adamshinoda]

Hulk is so damn funny Almost every time he appears I lol'd. He beats the shit out of Loki, then punches Thor like a sandbag, but the funniest is when he makes a roar to make Stark wake up

Can anyone tell me what does the brief scene after the main characters credits mean?

The Avengers wasn't just *pretty good*, It was BEYOND fantastic, no words can describe it's awesomeness. It just needs to be seen to be felt.

... and if you still believe that a movie about how a lame piss poor batman utterly fails to save the city he was supposed to protect it's still better than a badass movie with badass superheroes that ACTUALLY DO their job, I really feel sorry for you

They were eating shawarma, like Tony suggested.

Unless you mean the first scene, in which case, that was showcasing who is likely to be the villain for the next Avengers film.

I agree, Avengers is super mega beyond fantastic.

But in terms of character progression, subplots, major plot twists, etc. You are like comparing Lion King to Hamlet.

Easily one of the best movies in the last decade, not even from purely a "action" viewpoint or a "superhero" viewpoint. It's just a great movie in general. Like it deserves a few nominations this year but it'll probably get snubbed, seeing as the only action/fantasy movie to make significant gains in the awards in like the past decade was Return of the King (admittedly a great movie but it feels like it'd get considered a bit more than a superhero movie).

There's Inception, though that's more sci-fi than anything. And The Dark Knight made a pretty huge gain, if you count the fact that Heath Ledger won dozens upon dozens of Best Supporting Actor awards. Then, there's Avatar which is sorta both fantasy and sci-fi, with some action, which achieved lots of awards. Though I predict that there's going to be a vote off between TDKR and Avengers for the elusive "Special Blockbuster Slot" that will be there. But I predict it'll probably win or get nominated for quite a few things. (effects, costume, makeup, art direction, stuff like that)

Anyways, the movie was fantastic. It's like the Star Wars of this decade. It has the same sort of traditional american hero story (the good guys defeat those that are evil through growth and teamwork), a heavy focus on special effects and action, a certain appeal to nerds and 10 year old boys, and a simplistic, straightforward plot. However, unlike Star Wars, it had much better character development, fantastic dialogue, more depth, and a lot more balance. It might even be (dare I say it?) better than Star Wars. (don't kill me)

This gives me hope that they will finally get enough money to buy the rights from Sony™ to have Spider-man, Wolverine and others in Avengers 2.

Spoiler

The Avengers, X-men and Fantastic 4 join as they will fight-off Thanos from destroying earth. All of my fucking money.

 

[palasx]

has anyone ever gone back and recalculated older movies sales when compaired to todays OUTRAGEOUS ticket prices? It cost me almost $30 for two tickets last night, and i DIDNT see it in imax or 3d or anything. if it had been a reasonable $4-$8 per ticket, it wouldnt have made so much damned money.

le sigh. great movie though, really enjoyed it, but cmon, who else is tired of gettin raped at the box office?

If the Fantastic 4 is still the same cast, then GOD NO.

Though if they manage to somehow get the new Spider-man, I'd gladly give all my fucking money.

Also, am I the only person who found Loki to be the best character of the whole movie? I mean, he produces the most laughs out of any character. I could probably remember the 5 funniest scenes and almost all would have Loki in them. Tom Hiddleston was brilliant. "I think I'll have that drink now." "I am a god!" "I'm not overly fond of what follows." "You fall for that every time." (I didn't think any of those were spoilers..?)

Also, apparently, Black Widow's getting a solo movie. I am excited. ScarJo probably gave the best performance out of the central 6.

A Fantastic 4 reboot is in the works, so don't worry.

Not only are they giving Black Widow her own movie, but also a ton of more characters (i.e Nick Fury, Iron Man 3, Thor 2, War Machine, Captain America 2 etc.).

And everyone complained when Disney bought Marvel. HA! Take that presumptuous douches.

Does that mean we get to see more of her asstounding performance?
