Seen this. Pretty good movie. I still think Captain America is a cunt, though.
[QUOTE=Snake7;35857783]I'll admit it, when I first saw how popular it was I thought it must be overblown. But almost every critic review is positive.[/QUOTE] imdb has it rated as the 32nd best movie of all time
I don't know why people think this is a good movie - it was so bad that I slept through the majority of it
[QUOTE=mfb412;35861250]imdb has it rated as the 32nd best movie of all time[/QUOTE] Actually that's a mistake. It still holds a 8.8 so it should be below the the 20 top rated movies of all time. [QUOTE=Darkimmortal;35861256]I don't know why people think this is a good movie - it was so bad that I slept through the majority of it[/QUOTE] You haven't seen the whole movie, your opinion is invalid.

People have to consider how high ticket prices have risen in most places though which will contribute to this. Whilst it is a great film, i'm just throwing it out there.
[QUOTE=Painseeker;35860606]...BOTH? I saw the one that [sp]Reveals that villain dude that my friend tells me is from Fantastic Four[/sp] but I didn't see a second one. Unless I have an awful memory.[/QUOTE] [sp]It was Thanos. Your friend was probably thinking of Galactus, because Thanos isn't really from Fantastic Four. The second one was just them in that shawarma resteraunt Tony said he wanted to go to, just a tiny bit of humor.[/sp]
My father promised that me and him'd go see it together this afternoon, we rarely spend time with each other so I think it'll be good for us. But he has to drop my step-sister back to her home which is 200 miles away, and that's after he finishes work, and I doubt he'd be back in time. Damn.
When I first went to see it, I was expecting something along the lines of Transformers 3: a crappy movie with a big budget. Keep in mind that I don't keep up with movie news, so I didn't know anything about it. I was incredibly blown away. The characters are engaging and all have personality. The plot is definitely more nuanced than I had initially expected. It's exciting and somehow still very funny.

[QUOTE=Ordigenius;35857734]But, is it really that good, or is it the new Avatar?[/QUOTE] What you said doesn't really make sense. Avatar was a fucking masterpiece. Surely a masterpiece is that good, no?
It's kind of interesting how the billion dollar mark before recently was some sort of impossible goal, but now it's more or less a hallmark of a good movie. Before 2005 there was what, just Titanic? Now we got Dark Knight, Harry Potter, Avatar, and probably The Avengers.
The movie is good, and these kinds of sales are to be expected after such an impressive buildup. I do have to recommend that you shouldn't go seeing it if you're expecting something new, it's generic and formulaic. While there's nothing bad about the movie itself, you may be disappointed if you were looking to see something different than your typical superhero movie, because it isn't any different.
[QUOTE=Zacca;35862295]What you said doesn't really make sense. Avatar was a fucking masterpiece.

[QUOTE=7331;35860208]Yea i guess but i liked the third movie more than 2 -.- oh and please the new guy can go suck on a sock I prefer my spider-man to be un-serious. J. K. Simmons isn't in there either which will probably won't make me want to watch the movie that's for sure.[/QUOTE] "I like Spider-Man to be unserious" "I enjoyed Spider-Man 2 and 3" Choose one pal. Also the new Spidey looks a lot less serious than Toby's Spidey. Have you seen the previews for it? Looks incredibly cash. Also this film was awesome. Hulkster stole the show, and Thor finally got the awesome treatment he deserved. Not a dull moment in this flick, will definitely go see it again. Only complaint was the Power Rangers alien guy, didn't know what his deal was. PS if you didn't see this movie in a "culturally enriched" part of town you missed out big time.
[QUOTE=Hamsterjuice;35858208]i thought everyone was bored of superhero movies what happened[/QUOTE] Not sure what people you know but damn near everyone I talk to is jumping off the walls in anticipation of The Avengers and Dark Knight Rises. The superhero genre is far from dead. [editline]7th May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Darkimmortal;35861256]I don't know why people think this is a good movie - it was so bad that I slept through the majority of it[/QUOTE] There's an interesting concept called "opinion." Might want to look into it.
I'm still waiting for the Captain Britain film.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35862765] There's an interesting concept called "opinion." Might want to look into it.[/QUOTE] his post was pretty refreshing his post is just as valid as any other in this thread
[QUOTE=Falchion;35861683]Watch out or you might be assaulted by spergs who don't want to hear a word of critique towards this movie.[/QUOTE] "I slept trough the whole movie so I didn't see any of it so it's shit" is not critique.
I watched the film, apart from having a strong shield and quite strong himself, what IS captain america's distinguishing quality?
[QUOTE=Kwigg;35863799]I watched the film, apart from having a strong shield and quite strong himself, what IS captain america's distinguishing quality?[/QUOTE] He shits American flags.
[QUOTE=Kwigg;35863799]I watched the film, apart from having a strong shield and quite strong himself, what IS captain america's distinguishing quality?[/QUOTE] His leadership ability and tactile knowledge, combine that with his strength and shield and you have a pretty good hero.
Hulk is the best Avenger.
Was the movie any good? Agree-Like Disagree-Didn't like
[QUOTE=Zarjk;35864190]Hulk is the best Avenger.[/QUOTE] lol xD fuck u no batman is stupid Thor and Iron man IMHO are the coolest. I seriously want to see Wolverine VS Spiderman or something. They need to make a massive brawl style game.
Great movie, would see again.
[QUOTE=Liem;35864244]Was the movie any good? Agree-Like Disagree-Didn't like[/QUOTE] Agree x 100 you'd have to be a fool not to see it.
[QUOTE=J!NX;35864297]lol xD fuck u no batman is stupid Thor and Iron man IMHO are the coolest. I seriously want to see Wolverine VS Spiderman or something. They need to make a massive brawl style game.[/QUOTE] Well there is a hulk vs wolverine animated movie, its...okay at best.
I can't wait for the second one, even thought the ending confused me and what I assume to be a lot of people. Apparently (if you don't already know) [sp]the guy at the end was in parts of the Marvel Universe. He is Thanos, and he is obsessed with death and that sort of stuff.[/sp] [URL="http://collider.com/avengers-ending-explained/164058/"]http://collider.com/avengers-ending-explained/164058/][/URL]
