I didn't see the 3D because it really hurts my eyes, but it's definitely worth the money to see it in theaters.

I saw the 2D version (twice).  I don't go to 3D screenings unless the movies is actually shot in 3D.

Being a lifelong comic book geek, I was thrilled with The Avengers. Awesome. I saw the first clip during the credits which sets the stage for Gallactica, eater of worlds!


Lifelong comic book geek, huh?

What was the second clip?


Go see it again to find out.  ;)

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

SPOILERS INCOMING



Well, for one, it's not Gallactica since that character doesn't exist on the Marvel U and it's not Galactus because he has a purple hat/clothes and not skin (also, he's part of the FF franchise so that means he won't appear on Marvel Studios movies). That's Thanos, the Mad Titan. An unruly character who is, literally, in love with Marvel U's personification of Death.

Looks like I'll have my first Imax experience (have seen one regular 3D movie before) on Friday when I see The Avengers. I am so super fucking psyched.

I finally saw it last night. I loved the film, but it's not the perfect film everyone told me it was. There were parts that dragged that lost me. Exposition talked rather than shown. However, the good outweighs the bad. The last 30 minutes or so is amazing. I have to agree on a review I read. that in the end, this shows the joy of superhero films. To me, that joy is influenced by Superman: The Movie. The Hulk is perfect. Stole the show in my opinion. Tom Hiddleston's Loki is one of the best superhero movie villains ever. He was one of my favorite things about The Avengers and Thor. The action is absolutely mind-blowing. I just wish my storytelling experience with The Avengers was better tailored. Hopefully, the second will have a better polished script and have more going on, expositionally. However, Joss Whedon, to his credit, did a damn fine job of bringing the characters arcs to full circle, in a way I have never seen before.

*Spoiler*

The best scene in the whole movie....when Hulk beats the living fuck out of Loki. I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a long time. I know it wouldn't have worked, but if Loki had died, that would have been the best Death Scene ever.
 
I don't normally watch too many superhero movies, but before this Iron Man was my favorite, but I gotta give this one pros as my favorite superhero movie, at least in the Marvel world. Tony Stark is just a fucking boss!

That's because Downey is by far the best actor in the group.

I think Tom Hiddleston deserves some love in this category as well.

In prep for watching the Avengers this Sunday, Mrs. C's kid and I just watched Captain America, which we hadn't seen yet.

So. Fucking. Excellent.

Gonna try to watch Thor tomorrow night, which we haven't seen either.

Also, away from The Avengers, one character that Marvel REALLY needs to get back is Norrin Radd. Seriously, if they could pull off a good movie about him that would be amazing.

Ohhhh man my childhood just got roided up big time. That was so incredibly satisfying! Everything about it blew me away and I could not have expected something so massively goose-bump-inducing. Spoilers abound for the next few sentences. I too, much like what seems like literally every other person that has seen it, was literally jacking off (voraciously) to the scene in which Hulk pummels Loki after his pathetic speech about not being bullied and then WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM "Tch...Puny god..."  :hefdaddy :hefdaddy :heart :metal Lord, I want to be the Hulk so badly. I want a big, green cucumber dick. I want it. I want it willingly. End spoilers, they are no longer abound; I have locked them up in that Hulk cage. Also, Hiddelston did a superb job on creating a better Loki than the subpar experience that was Thor (his performance, not the entirety of the film); he brought his game, gave the character depth, a terrifying, reachable goal, and most of all, a reason to both love and hate him, as well as feel a bit of sympathy for the sub-human god. The film was all around spectacular and I really did not expect to like it this much.

I'll say one thing about superhero movies that come after this: They had better have their own flare and individuality because any comparisons to this movie will fail for the one being compared, I'm afraid. Even Dark Knight Rises has some tough competition with this one, and I'm not even going to think or discuss the financial bomb that this lit. So many great scenes, so many goosebumps, so many boners. SO MANY. I've seen it three times so far; the first time was in 3D, which was my first 3D movie, and I completely got the gist of the scam and will probably never see another 3D movie again. While it didn't detract from the experience, it didn't make it any better either. That said, it was fun, nothing more, perhaps something less if I wasn't blazed. The next two viewings really solidified my boner (pun not intended); the colors were vibrant, the cinematography, beautiful; and most of all, the CG and action scenes all around really just made my jaw drop. It was the best use of technology I've ever seen in a movie (I will fucking rape you if you mention Avatar, that modicum of pussy fart).

So enjoyable. I love Marvel. I am really, really hoping that Whedon is on board for future installments because he just became my true super hero for bringing this to life and doing such a marvelous (pun not intended again, shit) job at it. Really, I love you, Mr. Whedon. BRAVO! Oh and one more spoiler: MOTHER FUCKING THANOS!!!!! WOOTY PATOOOOOTY!!!!!! YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I'M CUMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!! End cumming.

I honestly don't know if I can even go back and watch the movies that precede this because they just won't get my blood flowing like this movie did. God, I haven't had so much fun in a movie theater since I got a blowjob in one, and this beats that. It fucking does. Don't look at me like that. Scarlett Johansson's butt.

So I saw it last night, and it exceeded all possible expectations.  Mark Ruffalo really sold me on replacing Norton, Hawkeye wasn't just a superfluous extra (the way many mutants have been in the last few X-Men movies), everyone got screen time and we had a good idea of their characters even if we hadn't seen all of the earlier movies, and Black Widow.  BLACK.  FUCKING.  WIDOW.  Going from a sex icon in Iron Man 2 who served little real purpose in the plot (I remember she had to fight some people.  Don't remember why.  I think they were the non-Whiplash villain's goons) to probably the most badass heroine ever put on the screen.  Heck, one of the most badass superheroes, period.  I also loved Whedon's writing in this movie.  I mean, I had faith because this is the guy who made you care about 9 main characters in Serenity and made it work.  Of course he could do it with 6 Avengers plus Fury, Coulson, and Loki. 

So yeah, I loved it.  I'll be seeing it again.

Oh yeah, seeing Thanos at the end was pretty awesome, even though I mistook it for a classic skrull based on the chin (I figured the purple skin was a lighting thing).  I'd love to see a secret invasion movie.

I disagree regarding her role in IM2.  She was intentionally underdeveloped in IM2 because she was a mole placed within Stark's organization by SHIELD, so of course we were not supposed to know much about her before her real identity was eventually revealed late in the film.  The audience was intentionally kept in the dark about who she was.  Add to that the fact that, since it was an IM film, they couldn't have her upstage (or even be equal to) the main character.  She may have been a second-tier character in terms of screen time and character development, but she definitely served a purpose.

Nah, pretty sure I did.  It's a reference to another fictional universe, so if you're unfamiliar with that then you wouldn't get the joke, but just because you don't get it doesn't mean it's not a joke.  Never said it was a good joke or a funny joke however.  In fact it was meant to be a dumb joke.  Judging from what I've seen on this forum having a joke be funny, tasteful or good is not a requirement for posting it.

Anywho, so how do we forced Sony and Fox or whoever to sell back the rights of X-Men, FF and Spiderman back to Marvel?

One of the things I missed so much in Captain America was a small Logan cameo.

Even if they did get the rights to FF, X-Men and Spider-Man, I wonder how they would squeeze more awesomeness into a movie. Avengers + Fantastic Four + X-Men and Spider-Man vs something would be awesome, but every hero would get like 2 minutes screentime, unless they made the movie 4 hours long or something.  :lol

Well, by "group" I meant the Avengers/Shield. But even so, we can't compare Hiddleston's body of work to Downey's.

Oh no no no. They don't need a movie with ALL of them. They just need the ability to have transfers if necessary. Have Spiderman show up in a FF movie. Have Thing fight the Hulk in a hulk movie. Have Reed Richards and Susan Storm show up in Iron Man 4, you know? They don't need to all be together all of the time, but knowing that anyone could show up in any movie would make it SOO much cooler. As of now when you see a Marvel universe movie, you know no one from the FF, or X-men or Spiderman will ever show up. Imagine if you didn't know that. Remember when thanos surprised the hell out of everyone? Imagine Wolverine showing up in an Avengers movie with no announcment. Yea.
