I have never seen lines at our brand new local multiplex since it opened here in Wasilla, Alaska until yesterday for the matinee of Avengers.
I decided to buy the first ticket for the 3D matinee instead as the 2D looked sold out, my son and I had the best seats though we had to wait an hour.
It was an unusually good movie, the Hulk did indeed steal the show, Black Widow was a little on the plump side but still hot hot hot.
And the special effects were awesome, its a Josh Whedon movie, same as Serenity.
But I will nitpick one idea, having an aircraft carrier floating in the sky was stupid stupid stupid, too vulnerable and everything should have been anchored to the deck, looked cruelly cool though but still a stupid idea.
Iron Man should have brought a reserve of his battle suits and Captain America needs Dragon Skin or some better body armor, he isn’t bulletproof.
Thor seemed unusually weaker or more human.
And Marvel should have had a prequel movie of Hulk, he stole the show but he isn’t like what we have seen in years past.
In summary its a grand flic worthy of admission and a patriotic one, stay until the credits pass for a teaser.
It was okay. Some of it was a bit over the top in the graphics.
The "Avengers" was great. My sons (10 and 7) loved it. They can't stop talking about it.
This was one of the things I was referring to that I had to ignore- it's only in there because it's the traditional Shield headquarters in the comics.
There were 2 Hulk movies, both sucked because they missed out on what makes Hulk a hero. Whedon fixed that with one line, when Harry Dean Stanton’s walk on character said he saw Hulk stear his fall away from people, even as a creature of rage Hulk is has Banner’s soul or self sacrifice.
SHIELD’s flying fortress is cannon. And something Nick Fury fans have been waiting to see since Jackson’s first walk-on in the roll. And yeah historically that thing is more trouble than it’s worth.
Cap’s armor definitely had some improvements, it was mentioned and they were visible. Bullet proof who knows.
My friend and I thought Thor seemed more god-like than his movie. He’s done some growing up. He understand consequences now, which made him more cautious but more of a leader too.
I hope now that Whedon fixed the cinema Hulk they give him another movie.
This was definitely better than the movie we expected.
They did show stuff being anchored to the deck, which is why I didn’t understand how stuff could be sliding off later.
