Avengers has biggest opening weekend of all-time

[Doctor K]

Over $200 million surpassing Dark Knight's record of best opening weekend at $172 million. It has already made over $600 million world-wide. BIG TIME PROFITS for all the producers and people associated with making this movie.


For those that haven't seen it, go see it. Its not just the best superhero or action movie of all-time....it is the best movie of all-time period. U dont wanna miss this one

It'll be on HBO early next year, I wont miss it.

Ur gonna watch maybe the biggest grosser ever and arguably best movie ever...on HBO rather than theaters? lame. thats like knowing ahead of time that this next basketball game will be the best game ever played, and u have a chance to watch it live, but instead u decide to listen to it on the radio

Well, since I missed opening day, it's not live anymore, right?

[Doctor K]

Well, since I missed opening day, it's not live anymore, right?
except since the 'live' part of 'live' in basketball games is u didnt know it was going to be a great game, but since we already know its going to be a great game, anyone who sees it in the big screen has seen it 'live'

f*uck the analogy, bottom-line is this is arguably the best movie in hollywood cinema to be made...and ur wanting to wait and watch on hbo. thats jus lame

Correction OP:

Harry Potter Deathly Hollows 2 was the record holder of $169 million. TDK only had $158 million.

[RaininTwos]

Where is the link?

[Dasher]

It will be better viewed on the big screen. TV and the computer screen really won't do it justice at all.

Most of these movies are from the 2000's. They are only that high because of the spike in ticket prices.

The top 16 are from the past 10 years ...

Only 12 films are pre 2001.

No. Ur just supposed to believe that no movie has made as much $$$ as Avengers opening-weekend.


U still got a chance. Go watch it on the big screen. don't be a lame and watch the best movie ever on HBO :facepalm

Well, explain how no films from the 50s through 80s make the list, and just 12 films from the 90s ... most of them from the Batman Franchise at that?

If you look at the link, these numbers had the 2012 adjuster (top right hand corner).

So it's all evenly precise.

Aka TDK made $158 million in 2008 which is equal to $172 million in 2012.

You sound mad about a movie.

[IGOTGAME]

Is it really worth it? I got a free movie pass and I'm considering going tonight. I just really don't want to wait in line and hear annoying people that come with full theaters.

[RaininTwos]

You sound mad about a movie.
Why would i be mad? Let's see. I am going to see it tonight, then i am going to eat some good food, then i am going to get some p*ssy. Why would I be mad?:confusedshrug:

You just annoy me sometimes. Why wouldnt today's movies have bigger release weekend numbers? There are more theaters, more advertising, social networking plays a role as well.

[Doctor K]

Is it really worth it? I got a free movie pass and I'm considering going tonight. I just really don't want to wait in line and hear annoying people that come with full theaters.
Bro, this movie is HISTORIC. U do not wanna miss watching a historic movie in theaters. thats all i'm gonna say. its deifnately worth it!

[KDTrey5]

i will illegally download it when it is released on DVD

[Doctor K]

Can you please stop calling it the "best movie ever"? Best "fun" comic book movie ever? Sure, not much argument here.
sorry i can't name 1 movie i liked better than the Avengers. not saying it has the best plot or something ever, but i've never liked or enjoyed a movie better than teh Avengers

[Doctor K]

Come on people watch it if you haven't seen it and watch it again if you have! We need strong 1st week and 2nd week sales!

One of the only movies that is actually worth spending money and going to the movies to see. Really contemplating going to see it 2 more times before the week is over. Literally dragging everyone I know to come see it.

My mind was blown when I went to go see it because I had never seen that many people at a movie theater before. We got there at 8 and all of the ones up until midnight were sold out.

this movie has changed my life

[embersyc]

Oh god here comes the over-hyping that is gonna ruin yet another good movie.

Look, it's a fun movie, but lets not get carried away here. Will I see it a second time in theater? Yes because I feel it's that type of movie that only the theater can do justice.

However it's not even the best comicbook movie ever, so relax on the overhype.

Did the marketing campaign work that well, I honestly don't see why people are hyping this thing up so much. Saw it yesterday and walked away thinking it was a solid, fun action flick but Thor was a better movie by a good margin IMO. I have no clue why people like the OP are going nutty over this thing, I thought all the hype the Dark Knight got was justified because the movie was that good (best comic/superhero flick but FAR from "best ever period" :oldlol: ) but this.... maybe I'm just missing something :confusedshrug:

It was a great action movie. People are hyping it up this much because it actually was able to pull off combining all those different characters. It's not as great a film as The Dark Knight though.

[KDTrey5]

i got like 5 movies to watch to even know what the fck this movie is about. i wont be watching it anytime soon

[Doctor K]

ANYONE who has not seen Thor, captain America, ironman, or Hulk. Tell me. I will give you necessary preparation so you will have almost the same amount of fun someone who has seen all of them will have!

?

exactly why do you feel this way?

I liked Thor but I don't see how it comes close to The Avengers in any way.


FYI, if I was to rank the Marvel Cinematic Universe I'd go

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

[DonDadda59]

:facepalm
kill urself

Will do chief, as soon as you explain to me what makes film anything more than a generic popcorn action flick let alone the bestest movie that ever was :oldlol:

How old are you by the way, if you don't mind me asking Doctor?

[DonDadda59]

?

exactly why do you feel this way?

Thor had much better writing and the direction was excellent (Branagh>>>>Whedon). The characters were well fleshed out and 3-dimensional, not just one-liner spewing caricatures. Just take Loki for example- the way he was written and portrayed made you understand his motivations and made you feel almost sympathetic towards him. In the Avengers, he was just some asshole blowing shit up and messing up everyone's day because he wanted to be a king.

There were a lot more exploding cars in the Avengers, that's about it.

Movies dont work like that bro

[brantonli]

Lol just found there is a 2nd post credit scene (apart from the one after the really colourful credits of the main cast). It shows the Avengers eating at the shwarma place that Stark mentions after he came back from a black hole, all of them sitting around a table.

[DaHeezy]

*Spoiler*





Is it me or did they make Thor to look really weak? How did his hammer not crush Ironman? Or wreck Cap's shield? You figure Thor would murk Ironman in a fight. He also was made to look like Hulk's b!tch

[DeuceWallaces]

Bam, that list looks more like it.
:cheers:

That's total gross you stupid ****. People didn't clamor to theater on opening weekend back then.

lol not sure if serious...


But I can't name any film I've seen that i liked better than this film. i mean sure i've seen movies with better plots, but in terms of a film that i loved more? nope. what made it so great? the action was awesome, the characters were very well defined and you had a connection with each one of them based on their prior movies. this is what makes it so special. you can actually connect with each character, and there were so many to connect with in this movie. it was like seeing 5 movies at once and just an amazing experience. just overwhelming to be honest. i cannot describe it in full detail. overwhelming in an amazing way. and did i mention how awesome the action was in this movie? also, lets not forget the good touch of comedy making it even more entertaining. i'm 19 btw

Lol, someone finally saw it:oldlol:

No sh*t but if you don't have time then there are other options. but i definately recommend watching them...Ironman, Ironman2, Thor, Captain America, are a must.

[Doctor K]

lol i had seen it too but i just wanted that kizzle guy to stfu and feel better that there were good movies before 2000 too

except since the 'live' part of 'live' in basketball games is u didnt know it was going to be a great game, but since we already know its going to be a great game, anyone who sees it in the big screen has seen it 'live'

f*uck the analogy, bottom-line is this is arguably the best movie in hollywood cinema to be made...and ur wanting to wait and watch on hbo. thats jus lame
I don't think anyone can argue that case convincingly

[ZeN]

I can see how Thor would appeal more to the thespian in you, but when it comes to sheer enjoyment factor, give me The Avengers ten times out of ten. I had a lot of f*ck in me when I went to see it, and it was all entertained out of me.

I think they gave Ironman too much of the spotlight. I'm convinced it's because he has the biggest star power, he got the favorable role

[Whoah10115]

The chance that a film by Josh Whedon is the best anything of any time...I doubt it.




Maybe in blog world.

[Alamo]

I think they gave Ironman too much of the spotlight. I'm convinced it's because he has the biggest star power, he got the favorable role

I was talking about the individual movies. Within the movie, I think the spotlight was spread equally, except for Thor. For some reason it felt like Thor got the short end of the spotlight stick, I guess because of his brother. :confusedshrug:

I really liked Ed Norton as Banner, but Mark Ruffalo made me forget all about him, he was awesome!

[AboveTheRim.]

I don't understand the portrayal of the hulk. When he first transforms, he can't control himself at all (trying to kill Black Widow demonstrates this). Later the hulk is seen controlling his actions by fighting side by side with the avengers.

The initial portrayal seems to fit more with the classic depiction of the hulk. I didn't read a ton of comics growing up, but it seemed like Banner and the hulk were completely separate and Banner had no control over the actions over the hulk.

That being said, I enjoyed the movie, all the performances were good and it was enjoyable throughout. 8/10

[Upgrayedd]

Best movie of all time? I haven't even seen it yet and I'm :roll: at that comment.

Not only is it probably not the greatest movie of all time it's probably not better than The Dark Knight and probably not better than The Dark Knight Rises.

Just because movies make a shit load of money doesn't mean they're great movies. Look at Avatar. Most overrated movie ever.

I'm sure The Avengers is probably a really fun movie. But probably just that. Greatest of all time movie? You really need to watch more movies.

That's a spoiler, but the first time he fought them because he felt betrayed and he didn't trust them. And I believe he could control his emotions at some points in the comics.

i'm thinking loki had something to do with it. he wanted to get caught, i'd like to think his spear was emitting something that got everyone all pissed off at each other, not just the hulk. of course, an angry hulk is alot worse then an angry capt america or black widow

[Take Your Lumps]

I saw Avengers and ****ing loved it but c'mon it's not on the level of Dark Knight as an overall film. It might be a better action movie than TDK, but Nolan's craft is on another level.

That being said I can't wait till Avengers 2 because of...
MOTHER****ING THANOS SON!

[macmac]

I loved avengers, action sequences were insane, best I've ever seen... but best movie ever? Better than Goodfellas? Taxi driver? Fargo? LoTR trilogy? Braveheart? Heat? Etc etc.....not a chance

i personally never enjoyed or loved a movie as much as i did avengers...like i said it was overwhelming with amazingness

entertainment is a factor in how great a film is. and i agree avenger lacked an all-time level plot, but its entertainment, enjoyable level were just overwhelming making it my best movie ever

technically, hasn't gone with the wind had the biggest opening weekend box office?

i think in "today's time" gone with the wind made over 1 billion or somthing.

[Cowboy Thunder]

I just got home from that shit, and it was fanfckingtastic.


I've seen:

Ironman 1 & 2 and Thor.


Now I wanna go rent Capt America and Hulk (tho, I've heard Hulk doesn't tie much into it.)



This was my first movie in 3D and it was great. But would have been great if it was 2D as well.


U really gotta go to the theater to appreciate it. Fun ride, never a dull moment, sat there completely sucked in. Definitely doesn't take a kid to like it. I'm gonna take my gf in a few days and see what she thinks.


Scarlett Johanson :eek: :eek:

[LBJMVP]

:no:

oh, i knew gone with the wind had some kind of record.

i wanna see this movie, but not if i have to pay. ima broke college student nah and all my money goes to food, alcohol, and tobacco....

im done with school this thursday and im gonna try and get my parents to go. that way they can pay.

also, earlier you said you could tell people who haven't seen the other movies anything they need to know that relates to the movie..... i wanna know that stuff.

[Cowboy Thunder]

It definitely kicked the crap out of Transformers, XMen, etc.

I probably enjoyed it more than the Dark Knight as well, but it'd be close.

[Alamo]

This movie is better than TDK. **** what anybody else says

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iWBveHVWoWk/TjUzi5USHlI/AAAAAAAACH4/oXyUIJcNlN4/s320/Capit%25C3%25A3o+Am%25C3%25A9rica+%25286%2529.jpg


Background: He was the 1st avenger. Basically, what happens in Captain America is he used to be this skinny kid, and then they do some experiment on him and he becomes this powerful superhero. It is set during teh World Wars and he basically leads his army to victories. At the end of the movie he sacrifieces himself for his nation and makes his plan crash. But he doesn't actually die, he lands on ice and his body remains frozen for 70 years. He then is awoken in present day times.

Personality: This is your "Nice Guy" character. He is very nice, very unselfish, and always thinking about the good of the world rather than about himself. Your ideal 'nice guy' personality. The one guy who actually is willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the team.

Powers: He basically has very good fighting moves and is good with weapons. He doesn't really have 'powers' of his own, so he's kind of like a Batman character who is just a really good fighter. He is also very strong. He does though have a 'shield' that can basically block ANYTHING. Thats his biggest special weapon.

30 Second Clip showing a quick fight scene of his


************************************************


Thor:

http://img.yaplog.jp/img/13/pc/a/w/o/awoi-sekai/1/1154.jpg


Background Movie: So he was in the movie Thor. The Villain in Avengers, Loki, is also in the movie Thor. They are actually brothers (but you later learn Loki was adopted). So Thor is called the 'God of Thunder'. He lives in a different world than Earth, and was about to become king of this world but because of his arrogance and wanting to fight everyone, his father said no he is not ready and punishes him by sending him to Earth. Eventually, he comes back to his world.

But while he is gone, his brother, the villain, Loki turns evil. Loki actually wanted to be king and was always jealous of his brother Thor. Eventually Thor comes back to his world and gets rid of Loki.


Personality: This guy is kind of self-centered and believes humans are an inferior species and he is great because he is from a superior world. He is kind of arrogant. You also just have to remember he is not from Earth. But still a good guy who fights for the 'right' things.

Powers: He basically has this 'Hammer' that can conflict a lot of damage. He can throw it at people, and he has full control over it and the hammer basically flies to where ever he wants and it returns to him. He also can create thunder from the skies with his hammer and do lots of damage from that.

From the movie Thor. Sorry for the bad print, but he is the guy with blond long hair and the red cape.

Watch it good scene


************************************************** ****



Ironman:

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjU2MDYyMzE2MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwMDkyNzA3._V1._ SY400_SX600_.jpg


Background: So I watched Ironman and not Ironman 2. But basically Tony Starks is this billionaire genius. He is initially involved with the Afgan war, he creates this suit during that war and helps escape. People start calling him Ironman as he fights the terrorists and stuff. Later he fights with other people who also create suits like his and thats basically what happens in Ironman and Ironman 2.

Personality: Big of an EGO as it gets lol. He is your funny, egoistical, self-centered character. So much that he lives in a building in the middle of NYC with his name written outside the building "Starks". Basically a guy who will help only if he is really needed. Still a good guy at heart, but very egositical. He is a genius though by every definition of that word lol. Very technological guy.

Powers: So he basically has that armor he puts in, and when he puts it on he is unstoppable. 1st of all, he is called 'Ironman', which pretty much implies his suit is able to withstand heavy damage and keep fighting. 2nd, his suit relies heavily on firepower. He can shoot fire, fly with fire, and so on. Ironman basically is this very high-tech weapon armor lol.

But basically arguably the most popular character in the film based on past films

Video:

Quick 1 minute clip showing his suit.

************************************************** *******

Hulk

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pJF7QtFibUE/T0bF1_fAaYI/AAAAAAAAAzo/nU3meOm0z3o/s1600/image019.jpg

Background: Basically he is this scientist who turns into into this monster called Hulk. It usually happens when he gets mad and really can't control it too well. Thats why he tends to stay away from people in case he accidiently kills somebody.

Personality: His scientist self is a really smart, nice and caring guy. Doesn't have an ego or something and overall is nice when he is a scientist. When he is the HULK though, lol, total monster. Enough said.

Powers: Well, when he turns into a monster, he has A LOT of strength and has great size as well. Brute strength-wise he is unmatched. And paired with that size, he is basically a juggernaut who smashes everything in his path lol. Doesn't have any 'special' powers or weapons outside of his brute strength and size though.


Video: I think you can imagine lol.


************************************************** *******

Black Widow & Hawkeye

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6Uw_tMH1m_4/TmS0aRjwvMI/AAAAAAAAAnY/Svfdvok7XgY/s320/4.jpg

Background: I don't even know their background too much, but apparently they are GF/BF. Black Widow was in Ironman 2, and Hawkeye in thor briefly. Apparently they are both "Agents".

Personality: Both are like Agents working for the government, so they are nice people who work for the right things.

Powers: Black Widow is just a very good fighter. And Hawkeye has a bow and arrow and is very good at using them (kinda lame). The arrows are not normal arrows lol they are special ones and he has perfect aim.

Video:

Black Widow was in Iron man 2, here is a scene:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS1JFa_EjmI

************************************************** *



A little more on the other characters:

Loki (the Villain)


Background: As I mentioned he was the villain in Thor. Thor's brother (adopted though). So a lot of his story is in the Thor section. He likes to have power. And will do anything for it.

Personality: Some ruthless power hungry freak lol. He was one of those shy, overshadowed kids in his childhood. Who now has this dark side coming out and wants to take over the world. Thinks of himself as god, and just wants power.

Powers: He carries this spear-like stick around that has some blue stuff that shoots power. It will kill a human in an instance. Also good fighter overall and so on.



Nick Fury:

The guy played by Samuel Jackson, basically the guy assembling this whole Avengers team. He appears in all these moviess at the end of credits scenes getting the Avengers ready. He thoug is just a normal dude not a super hero or something


Agent Coulson:

Some agent who is part of some high-secret team also working with Avengers, he has also been in a lot of these movies and has fans too. But just a normal dude not a super hero or something.

yeah

the main piont of my 'background' wasn't really to give you a detailed background on each movie and what you need to know for the next one, but more to give you a good feel for all the characters. Thats why i went into their history, personality, and powers, and a clip to show it.


In fact, i forgot a part, here is the best link on 'background' you can find:

http://www.tor.com/blogs/2012/05/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-avengers-movies

Basically goes more into the "Movies" rather than characters like my background info. if you combine my post with this link u know pretty much everything

you gotta be pretty excited about the movie now though. Now that u have a better idea about each character, and their personality/powers, and see how they will all play it out in Avengers.

Also let me tell u, though their all good, the force they are battling in avengers could NOT be defeated by any of them alone. thats what makes the movie good.

[KDTrey5]

I tried watching Ironman, really boring.

All of em :D

Hulk, pretty easily. He's always been my favorite superhero, this movie made me like him even more. I liked Captain America too. It's funny because I didn't really like the Captain America movie but he was awesome in Avengers.

honetly, before this thread i had no desire to see the movie... i didnt know it was suppose to be one of the highest grossing films ever, but just knowing that it did have the highest grossing weekend in history and every single post in this thread has been saying how great it is makes me want to see it.

i especially want to see it in theaters as well.

Nice job. My understanding of Captain America is that he is the "Super Soldier" basically he is the closest a superhero can be without actually having super powers. He is basically the epitome of a human evolving to it's fullest potential. He's stronger, faster, quicker than regular men. And he has a much faster metabolism that prolongs his stamina.

His shield is also made of Vibranium, which transfers impact to his enemies. So the stronger someone hits it, the stronger the shield hits them back.

[LBJDW305]

I was in Disney world a couple weeks back and saw they wrapped one of the monorails with the avengers...so I'm guessing this movie is the real deal...I'll get to it next weekend me and my girl love Marvel movies

[Loneshot]

:wtf: :wtf:

How many movies have you seen in your life?

Yeah, it really isn't even the best superhero movie. Anyone who rates this movie higher than 8 really isn't watching it as a film and more as a showcase of action. The story is very thin, and without the awesome action it's not that good of a movie. A lot of glamor with little substance. But the glamor is so good i give it an 8 at least.

It's the same reason all the X Men movies are so overrated despite all being very mediocre as films. It's like going to a Mexican or Black comedy show. Once the comedian says some keyword related to the culture everyone goes nuts despite there being no joke behind it.:facepalm

i don't really consider TDK a superhero movie. for me it's a crime movie with some superhero elements. i feel like it's closer to a Heat then an X-Men.

TDK is a better movie, but Avengers entertained me more.

Which is the point. Dark Knight wasn't meant to entertain everybody and be funny. It's a far more serious movie. It has superior acting+plot though which is what separates it.

If you knew what a great movie was, you'd know i'm right. No one is saying the movie is bad at all. But to pretend it was a work of genius all around is just silly.

lol @ avengers being best movie of all time. it was damn good imo, i loved it but it doesn't touch TDK. hell, i was excited to see avengers while in the theater but i got even more excited to view the tdk rises trailer. "i want to see tdk now"

The producers chose a great time to release it.. MIB III releases later in May, Prometheus in June, and The Dark Knight Rises in July... those movies were probably their main competition.

Btw, The Avengers is not the greatest movie of all time (not even close). There will even be movies this year that will be better (Prometheus, Dark Knight Rises).

[-p.tiddy-]

Haven't seen this movie yet, going next weekend

I have really been preparing myself to not let this thing get overhyped for me and I think this thread helped.



I am expecting to see a good flick that is NOT on the same level as Dark Knight.

man this flick is hitting the hype meter hard though with all these broken sales records and good reviews.

[Doctor K]

If you knew what a great movie was, you'd know i'm right. No one is saying the movie is bad at all. But to pretend it was a work of genius all around is just silly.
You're thinking that a good story/plot is what makes a movie the best or not. I factor entertainment when i consider what is the best movie of all-time along with plot and all that stuff.

And putting everything together, I don't think I enjoyed or loved a movie more than the Avengers. Thats why i think it is the best movie ever

watch the Avengers smash that movie in all aspects. Ratings, Reviews, Box Office, etc.

[Lebron23]

So basically anyone who doesn't conform to your judgment and criteria for what makes a movie good doesn't know what they're talking about? Lots of experienced and well-versed movie fans loved The Avengers. Just because it doesn't feature the kind of writing featured in something like 12 Angry Men doesn't mean it doesn't bring its own strengths to the table.

Welcome Back ShannonElement

I agree with Doctor K that the Avengers is the best Comics Book movie of all time. I am a huge Nolan and Bale fanboy, but I think the Avengers is a more exciting movie than the Dark night.

[GOBB]

I saw it in 3D today, prety good. Not a comic book guy but I enoyed the action, the Avengers battling themselves (not everyone being all friendly) and Ironman humor is awesome. Also think they did a terrific job with the Hulk. I'm going to see this again in Imax.

But when you start talking about "greatest movie of all time" then you're entering another realm of cinema here.


If this meets your criteria for "greatest ever" in terms of film then guys....You really need to see more movies.


This will go down for me, as probably the greatest comic book/super hero movie ever that Ive seen thus far in my own opinion, but Ive seen far better films from beginning to end. There are some real masterpieces out there.



The problem is, a lot of people nowadays seem to be fooled by box office numbers or something...

[rezznor]

The Avengers 2
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige lays out the groundwork all the upcoming sequels will do to set up the pretty much financially guaranteed Avengers sequel:


If we do an Avengers 2 it will be after [Iron Man 3, Thor 2, Captain America 2]. They have to grow, they have to change. What they've gone through in this movie will impact their state of mind and where they stand in their next movies. Then whatever they go through in those movies is going to affect where we meet them in the next Avengers film. But I think people will be surprised to see, as we go forward — particularly in Iron Man 3 — the notion of how singular the stories can become. Iron Man 3 is a very singular Tony Stark story. As is Thor 2. Cap, who is stuck in the modern day with no friends or family, there will be some revelations of who is still alive from his days in WWII, but SHIELD and Nick Fury are kind of his confidants right now. So of all these movies, Captain America 2 will be most closely associated with Avengers.

[C.H.U.D.]

There's also the matter of Thanos, who was introduced in the Avengers post-credits scene. The current rumor seems to be that he could be crucial to the planned Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but you've got to assume he would show up in the Avengers sequel. Kevin Feige credits Joss Whedon for coming up with the idea of including Thanos , and Whedon explains what appeals to him about the character:


He for me is the most powerful and fascinating Marvel villain. He's the great grand daddy of the badasses and he's in love with death and I just think that's so cute. For me, the greatest Avengers was THE AVENGERS annual that Jim Starlin did followed by THE THING 2 in 1 that contained the death of Adam Warlock. Those were some of the most important texts and I think underrated milestones in Marvel history and Thanos i s all over that, so somebody had to be in control and had to be behind Loki's work and I was like "It's got to be Thanos. " And they said "Okay" and I'm like "Oh my God!"

There's much more on the decision at the link. [/Film]

Also, this is a long, long way off, but there's a rumor that the movie's huge response in India will lead to some of the sequel being filmed in the world's second most populous country. Specifically, the rumor is that three locations would be used - Hardwar and Uttar Pradesh in North India and another location in Maharashtra. [Comic Book Movie]

[El Kabong]

I wonder how much cash they'll have to pony up to get Robert Downey Jr. back for Avengers 2? He only had a 4 movie deal I believe, so his time would be up after Iron Man 3.

[cteach111]

i haven't watched this movie yet, but the hype around it sounds a lot like what I was hearing about Avatar and I saw that in the theaters.

Movies like these aren't meant to have these deep stories or plot lines that'll lose half the audience. They're meant to take full advantage of the technology in modern cinema. It's almost like going to the theme park with movies like Avengers/Avatar.

its a different experience compared to a movie like the Dark Knight. I like them both.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Did the marketing campaign work that well, I honestly don't see why people are hyping this thing up so much. Saw it yesterday and walked away thinking it was a solid, fun action flick but Thor was a better movie by a good margin IMO. I have no clue why people like the OP are going nutty over this thing, I thought all the hype the Dark Knight got was justified because the movie was that good (best comic/superhero flick but FAR from "best ever period" :oldlol: ) but this.... maybe I'm just missing something :confusedshrug:

Depends greatly on the individual.

Observation I made.

Most guys saying Hulk stole the show are the ones revering this as an all-time great. Meaning.. it is pure badassery that tickles their willy. Meaning it isETHOS that is their folly. The sheer goosebumps and empowerment they felt amplified their perspective of the film and deterred them from the cold, calculating out look of a critic bent on looking at dialogue, character development, and cinemeatography lol.

When it comes to stimulating chills and laughs, this was creme de la creme. Nearly the pinnacle of film-making.

It can't be compared to TDK in terms of a film obv.

Anyways I actually dug Loki's swag and prose. Don't see why others are hating. Sure he is fruity and gay and aristocratic looking.. but that's how hes posed to be! It was a nice element to the movie, in heavy conrast.U gotta give props to the dude, he took on his equivalent bro and five other bigboys with the help of an army .

My favorite interactions were Capt. America and Iron Man. Loved that he saved the old man who refused to kneel before him.
Found the whole standoff between them fascinating, the whole old vs. new motif.. and I liked how he barely saved his azz in the rotors and then he became the self-sacrificial aerial dude to throw everything away.

Teamwork was absolutely fantastic. Couldn't wait to see how the characters would complement each other... damn, from using Cpt. America's Shield to elevate to the combination of Thor and Hulk using brute strength and lightning.. or hell even Hawkeye. VERY CLEVER.

It was a nice element to the movie, in heavy conrast.U gotta give props to the dude, he took on his equivalent bro and five other bigboys with the help of an army .

My favorite interactions were Capt. America and Iron Man. Loved that he saved the old man who refused to kneel before him.
Found the whole standoff between them fascinating, the whole old vs. new motif.. and I liked how he barely saved his azz in the rotors and then he became the self-sacrificial aerial dude to throw everything away.

Teamwork was absolutely fantastic. Couldn't wait to see how the characters would complement each other... damn, from using Cpt. America's Shield to elevate to the combination of Thor and Hulk using brute strength and lightning.. or hell even Hawkeye. VERY CLEVER.

Maybe that's why I liked it so much. Hulk has always been my favorite superhero and I was hoping he would steal the show. And my expectations were still passed!! I can't wait to see this movie again.

I can't say one character stole the show though, they all did!

[TMT]

I never saw Ironman, is he as funny in that as he was in Avengers?

He's hilarious in both Iron Mans. He really makes the character.

I'm one of those people who hasn't seen it. I'm going to try and catch it tonight after work, can't wait. I've only seen parts of the Incredible Hulk, never saw Captain America, but I've seen Thor and Iron Man 1 & 2 and I see how they all tie together with the whole S.H.I.E.L.D. deal.

[iamgine]

Couple questions....

Is it me or is Loki really portrayed badly? I mean about his power. Shouldn't he be much stronger and craftier than that? Or is this a young Loki before he got stronger?

Also, why does Hulk sometimes goes crazy and sometimes not?



Captain America is so useless SMH.

I must be the only one who thought this movie was just "good" and not great.

Loki was never or nowhere close to being as strong as Thor. He was just mischievous.

If you've seen "The Incredible Hulk" film in 2008, it will explain how Banner was able to get control of the Hulk.

Reason he went crazy was because the Mind Gem on Loki's staff (Infinity Gems / Infinity Guantlet in other words just google "Thanos") had pushed Banner to the brink of anger coupled with the stress from the explosion, made him "Hulk Out" suddenly despite being "without incident for over a year." He tried to control it but couldn't at that moment, and before he completely transformed, he told Black Widow to run away.

Hulk went crazy the first time because of all the ideas that Stark and Loki put into his head about SHIELD wanting to cage him and calling him a monster.

The second time he transformed he had clear thoughts and he just wanted to stop Loki, also he transformed on his own will so he was more in control. They didn't really explain it but you have to be a comic book fan to really know this before seeing the movie. This also happens in the Incredible Hulk movie if you haven't seen it.

And Captain America is far from useless, he is the tactician of the group. The Avengers would be in complete shambles if it weren't for him. The Avengers without Captain would be like the Clippers without Chris Paul. And he also had some of the coolest parts in the movie.

[TMT]

Hell yeah! Catching it tonight. Hope it lives up to the high expectations I have in my head.

They also portray Thor as a dumb blonde. :oldlol:

I guess Cap's supposedly the tactician. But it just seems unreal to me how he's not a burden on the field. I'm just thinking if there're guys like these in real life the cap would be such a burden to protect. Tony should build him an ironman suit.

Loki was never a match for the Avengers. His only plan was to make them fight each other, which failed miserably. Loki isn't as smart or strong as he seems, mischief is his game. In the movie 'Thor' Thor alone was enough for Loki.

And I never read the Thor comics, but I think he actually was a dumb blonde. :lol

One Cool thing about Captain America is that he can pick up Thor's Hammer. Not even the Hulk or Loki could pull that off.

I watched the Thor movie and thought the same as I am now. Isn't he much much better in the comic, power and smart wise?

And his personality, isn't he Joker-ish (The Dark Knight)? It seems he's portrayed as emo-teenager in the movie.

Loki is a bit risky because a 2 hour movie is too short to capture his actual character. I believe he was supposed to manipulate Hulk even more than he did, to the point where the Hulk becomes an actual villain. But in the movie this is still the same young Loki from the Thor movie. 'Thor' served as an origins movie for both Thor and Loki, so maybe he doesn't become a supervillain (on a Doctor Doom level) until later.

Thor 2 could possibly clear this up.

So does this Loki match up tho the one in the books? Or do they make him much weaker.

I think the hammer can choose who can wield it. Not because Cap's strong or anything.

I'm not exactly sure about Loki's capabilities in the comics. But I don't think the movie made him stronger or weaker. The Avengers could beat him either way. His only strength relies on tricks and manipulating people

Mjolnir itself has several enchantments: no living being may lift the hammer unless deemed worthy by Odin or if they simply are worthy enough

I've never been a Thor fan so i don't follow him much outside of major events, but from the little i know I'd say he came off significantly weaker (as did every foe in the movie) than he would have in the comic. But the optimist in me wants to believe its just an intro to Loki and he will be portrayed stronger in future marvel films. If anything i feel like this film made him come off naive; which made him seem less smart than I know Loki to be.

But for the most part, a large part of this movie was a showcase of how bad ass the heroes could be. It really came off as the villains not ever actually having a chance to succeed.

Thanks for answering. I think supervillains are hard to pull off in movies. Usually with movies you only have about 2 hours to make the hero look really good, so the antagonist doesn't really get a chance to shine. This is especially the case in Avengers because they tried to make all the characters look so cool with a small amount of time.

I'm glad they only waited until the actor credits finished to show the extra scene (Didn't get the 2nd one in Australia). It's a pain having to wait 5-6 minutes for the full credits to finish while the cleaners are trying to kick you out straight away so they can get their work done.

Joss Whedon's Thank You Letter to the Fans!

http://www.movieweb.com/news/joss-whedon-thanks-fans-for-the-success-of-marvels-the-avengers-by-rebooting-air-bud


Dear Friends,

Well, it's been quite a weekend. Someday, long from now, I will even have an emotional reaction to it, like a person would. I can't wait!

But before I become blinded by this "emotional" experience, there's a few things I'd like to say. Well, type.

People have told me that this matters, that my life is about to change. I am sure that is true. And change is good -- change is exciting. I think -- not to jinx it -- that I may finally be recognized at Comic-con. Imagine!

Also, with my percentage of "The Avengers" gross, I can afford to buy... [Gets call from agent. Weeps manfully. Resumes typing.] ...a fine meal. But a REALLY fine meal with truffles and sh#t. And I can get a studio to finance my dream project, the reboot of "Air Bud" that we all feel is so long overdue.

What doesn't change is anything that matters. What doesn't change is that I've had the smartest, most loyal, most passionate, most articulate group of -- I'm not even gonna say fans. I'm going with "peeps" -- that any cult oddity such as my bad self could have dreamt of. When almost no one was watching, when people probably should have stopped watching, I've had three constants: my family and friends, my collaborators (often the same), and y'all. A lot of stories have come out about my "dark years", and how I'm "unrecognized"... I love these stories, because they make me seem super-important, but I have never felt the darkness (and I'm ALL about my darkness) that they described. Because I have so much. I have people, in my life, on this site, in places I've yet to discover, that always made me feel the truth of success: an artist and an audience communicating. Communicating to the point of collaborating. I've thought, "maybe I'm over; maybe I've said my piece". But never with fear. Never with rancor. Because of y'all. Because you knew me when.

If you think topping a box office record compares with someone telling you your work helped them through a rough time, you're probably new here. (For the record, and despite my inhuman distance from the joy-joy of it: topping a box office record is super-dope. I'm an alien, not a robot.) So this is me, saying thank you. All of you. You've taken as much guff for loving my work as I have for over-writing it, and you deserve, in this our time of streaming into the main, to crow. To glow. To crow and go "I told you so", to those Joe Blows not in the know.

Thank you all!

[Noah Rose]

Saw it last night again in IMAX this time and picked up on a few things I missed previously...

Actually quite a few:


- When Stark and Banner were talking between the computer screen, Banner's reflection on the screen was the Hulk.

- Cap kind of had a gut feeling about Loki's plan even before Black Widow got it out from him, "Loki's winding us up". And you can see that Cap and Stark were sweating / clutching their heads as if they were being influenced too.

- Loki joking with Thor that humans think a 30,000 death trap drop would kill them.

- After Thor falls off the sky, rather than call for his hammer like he did the entire film, he clutches his fist and just tries to pick it up normally as if asking himself if he is still worthy (the theme in his Thor film).

- The Other telling Thanos "to fight them, is to court Death" is actually a comic book reference, since Death is a character with Thanos.

I think cf86 is right in this regard, entertainment nowadays implies more of a popcorn, mindless action. The Dark Knight had a far superior storyline and more gravitas than the Avengers.

[Velocirap31]

Just saw this tonight as well. I went in with low expectations actually and was way off. This movie was amazing and the comic relief was very well done. Usually jokes are pretty lame in action films, but I laughed more in this movie than most comedies. Great movie, four stars, deserves the hype, go and see it if you haven't.

Yup. The plot, acting and emotions of Dark Knight sets it apart from any other superhero movie. Avengers was far more of a summer popcorn flick and a damn good one. I loved the Hulk+Iron Man. What I love most is how the writers had the two having a natural chemistry and the whole nerdy exchanges were hilarious. "Finally somebody who speaks english!". :oldlol:
