The Avengers

[IamFogHat]

It's actually happening!
http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/07/24/comic-con-marvel-assembles-the-avengers-in-hall-h/
Part of me is worried it's going to be a clusterfuck but the rest of me is having a nerdgasm.

[boobieman]

I am looking forward to it. Even thought I will most likely be disappointed. I feel any time they try to put too much especially in comic book movies they tend to suck..look at Spider-Man 3.

But this will be a first to have different comic book characters from different movies in one movie. It might be good.

I liked Iron Man..Iron Man 2 was ok, New Hulk looked like dog shit, looking forward to Cap, and I think thor will be a bomb, even though I love the character.

Would be great if they sneak another character in, that no one expected...maybe the Punisher for the hell of it..this way the character might be in a good movie.

SSSYEYAYYAAAAAAA

[boobieman]

Now they are putting the Infinity Gauntlet to Thor..???? WHY? I guess that is going to be the tie in to the Avengers movie? And I am guessing Thanos will be in the Avengers?

Starting to get scared...

SSSYEYAYAAASEEEEE

[thepaulo]

Sorry...when I saw this I thought they were remaking the Uma Thurman/Sean Connery/ Ralph Feinnes debacle.

New trailer! :thumbup:

The Avengers (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/marvel/avengers/)

[CountryBob]

I dont read cartoons - is the Hulk good or bad?

[Crash]

Based on the trailer, looks like Downey gets the bulk of the good lines.

And the Hulk is neither good nor bad. He is simply misunderstood. An incarnotion of the beast within us all if you will. The struggle between man's intellect and his emotions. He is the vesitige of our animal self that resides in our cerebral cortex. A throwback a time when such power and hostility was essential for the continued survival of mankind.

Or not. What do I look like, an encyclopeia? Stop bothering me, I'm busy!

[TripleSkeet]

Hes a good guy but still can be uncontrollable.

From what I read Tony Stark is constantly fucking with Banner in this movie trying to piss him off enough that he'll change. Just for shits and giggles. I think it looks awesome.

Joss Whedon writing for a character like Tony Stark is just amazing on many levels.

The response to Cap is spot-on perfect.

[fezident]

There's no way this movie will actually be good. There's simply too many characters... and if there's one way to ruin a comic book movie... it's by adding a shit ton of characters and subplots.

For some reason... Hollywood is convinced that audiences think "more is more". More villians! More heroes! More love interests! More songs! More CGI! More gadgets!
No to all of that.
We really do just want a good story with a good pace.
I just don't see how The Avengers movie could accomplish that.

People loved the first Michael Keaton Batman movie. They liked the 2nd one. But by the time we got to Uma Thurman, Jim Carrey, Arnold, Tommy Lee and Alicia Silverstone and shit... we were done. We hated it. Nobody ever mentions those movies even in passing.

The first Iron Man was great. People really seemed to connect with it. I believe the 2nd Iron Man had a shit ton of iron men in it AND more than one villian... right? (never saw it.)
and I don't think I've ever heard even one person talk about it. It was immediately forgettable. Too diluted.


The Avengers movie will have moments. But it won't be a great film.

1. They arent "adding characters". The comic book was The Avengers. If anything theyve got less heroes in it then the comic.

2. I hated the 2nd Batman with Keaton and thought the 1st one doesnt hold up. I watch it now and think its shit.

3. Nobody goes to a comic book movie to see The Godfather. They go for what it is. Now will it be a good comic book movie like Iron Man, or Dark Knight? Or will it be shit like Fantastic 4? Im leaning towards good just because of the time and effort they put in putting this together. Keeping most of the cast of the other movies and bringing them together. Its actually pretty amazing. Its not some thrown together movie.

[fezident]

They are "adding characters" to the screen.... characters that will be -literally and figuratively- fighting for the audiences attention. These characters had decades to develop in the comic book. Some came & went. All have their own comicbooks that had been developed for many many years. Some even had multiple titles. Their story arcs take yeeeears to develop and build... and now they're scrunched into one movie. A movie that, of course, won't be designed to even stand on it's own merits. The writers will be COMPELLED to set up the next installment.

These movies CAN be excellent. Blade is a great example. And they can ssssuck. Blade III is a great example.

[boobieman]

I watched the trailer..looks pretty good..I am look forward to the Avengers...will be interest. I thought thor was watchable and I loved Captain America, just enjoyed that movie from start to finish.

From the looks of the trailer, Loki is the main "Bad Guy"..wonder if they will sneak someone else in. And if they do can they keep it secret, so there is a surprised. So tired of knowing everything before seeing the movie. they don't need to show everything in the trailers, this movie is already sold.

Just my dumb two cents..so actually it is 1.5 cents.

SEYEYsYYEAA

[boobieman]

Blade is a great example. And they can ssssuck. Blade III is a great example.

Blade III was bad, but I think Daredevil and Ghost Rider was complete dog shit.

Considering hoe much I enjoyed the first 2 XMen, who had even more characters then this one, I think Ill give them the benefit of the doubt. ANY movie CAN be good or horseshit, you cant just assume it will be because there are alot of characters. By that logic they should just never make this movie or a Justice League movie ever, right?

I agree. Plus, I thought X-men: First Class was awesome. I HOPE this Avengers movie does really well. That way, it could possibly show DC Comics/Warner Bros. that it is possible to make a Justice League movie. If not, at least give us a World's Finest movie with Superman and Batman in the same movie.

[JimBeam]

What I am looking forward to least from this is Samuel Jackson.

Enough of this guy already.

It was quaint in the 90s when he seemed to be in every move but now he's an f-ing caricature.

He makes me wish they gavce more screen time to Tyrese Gibson's character in the Transformers movies.

[Tenbatsuzen]

The whole point of the Hulk/Cap/Iron Man/Thor movies was to explain the characters. The ONLY *new* character in this is Hawkeye. The audience should be familiar with Cap, Widow, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Fury, Loki, etc.

[mdr55]

No Wasp or Ant-Man?

[cougarjake13]

as long as its enjoyable to watch ill be good

[boobieman]

No Wasp or Ant-Man?

I am guessing in Avengers 2 or 3.

Also I read a article that the actor who plays Captain America, will not be appearing in any other of the marvel movies except for the Cap movies and the Avengers movies.

Now if they can do a Punisher appearance, that would be cool..since his own movies normally suck a dick.

SEESSyya

[boobieman]

I am with you...just want it to be enjoyable. Not too comic bookie.

Hulk appears briefly at about 44 seconds in.

That said, maybe the Hulk doesn't appear in the trailer because he only Hulks out in the finale of the movie?

I hope not. From what I heard Tony Stark is constantly fucking with him trying to get him to Hulk out so, you may be right.

[cougarjake13]

I like that he's fucking with him and those scenes are prob gonna be great but no hulk will suxk

Anybody speak German? What's Stark say to Thor? I don't remember that from the American trailer.

[cougarjake13]

I know Danish and its close but at end of trailer there's an American version

Did they ever face off against Loki in the comics or is this a first for the movie

[boobieman]

I think the whole point to the Avengers was because of Loki.

This is with out Cap...

SEEYYAYAAA

[King Imp]

So, you know how at the end of each movie leading up to this one they had a small clip hinting at The Avengers movie?

What, if any, do you think they'll show at the end of this one?

If I'm going conservative, I'd say it's just for the Captain America sequel that was announced for 2014. Going bigger, I'm gonna say it shows Spiderman to tie in with his upcoming movie since he eventually becomes part of one of the Avengers' teams.

[Crispy123]

I am looking forward to seeing this. Even after hearing gbaby's recommendation. :dry:

[cougarjake13]

I like the spidey idea but here's mine

A reveal or allusion to the villain for avengers 2

[TripleSkeet]

Supposedly halfway through the credits they show a teaser clip for down the road, and apparently they are filming another clip right now to play at the end of the credits.

[boobieman]

Won't be spidey in anyway..Sony owns the rights and this is a Marvel movie. I have a feeling it might be the Punisher...well hoping. Marvel just got the rights back for Punisher and Blade. Punisher did play a good part in the Ultimate universe...so maybe

I don't think it will be Captain america...just announcing that is all they need to sell it.

theres more than one avengers team? and what the fuck is the hulk doing in the avengers he was always a defender(at least from what i can remember)

[King Imp]

theres more than one avengers team?

I never really followed The Avengers, but according to this there were like 10 million different incarnations and members.

List of Avengers members (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Avengers_members)

[boobieman]

When the avengers comic first came out...the Hulk was being used by loki...then he changed sides and teamed up with Thor, Iron Man and the rest..so the Hulk was the reason and part of the original line up.

The movies are based on the ultimate universe....That is why Nick Fury is black.

From what POPPS..(Pepper) hinted at after getting the spoiler from GBaby on the show..it is a character that is involved in the Marvel Universe. I really don't think it will be Spider-Man.

Hmmm....

Snipes was talking a lot about Blade4 when he was promoting some bullshit cop drama he starred in about a year ago. He was stating that he'd love to do another one if the script was right... yada yada.

I would fucking love another Blade movie.

[TripleSkeet]

This movie is going to make insane money...

Just over a week until the release of MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS, MovieTickets.com, the leading global provider of remote movie ticketing, is already showing tremendous domestic pre-sales of the highly anticipated film.

MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS is pre-selling more tickets for the upcoming release than the online ticketing company sold for CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, THOR, IRON MAN 2, and IRON MAN combined at the same point in the sales cycle for each film. In fact, pre-sales of MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS is over one and a half times that of these past Marvel films combined sales at the same point in the sales cycle.

MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS is selling 3,995% more tickets than CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER at the same point in the sales cycle.

MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS is selling 1,034% more tickets than THOR at the same point in the sales cycle.

MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS is selling 114% more tickets than IRON MAN 2 at the same point in the sales cycle.

I am pumped for this movie, although... I kinda hope that it doesn't focus TOO much on Iron Man.
Thor and Captain America were better movies -IMO- than Iron Man I & II. And.... while I didn't love the Hulk reboot.... I still think that character of the Hulk/Banner is more interesting than Iron Man/Stark.

Iron Man 3 is just around the corner. Let that be a showcase for RDjr, ya know.
...I want the TEAM to really be the focus of The Avengers.

It's not like Marvel has a lot of villians casual, mainstream movie goers are going to recognize. I would say maybe Magneto, but only because of previous movies, and Dr Doom because of rap. It's a shallow bench, it's not like we're talking Fing Fang Foom here.

DC kindof has the corner on that market.

With all the movies Marvel puts out, it's amazing how Marvel is lacking on mainstream villains. Spiderman and X-men pretty much has the best rogue's gallery of villains.

DC villains definitely are more known to the casual fan.

The extra scene in the middle of the credits had all us fan boys going ape shit...I did not expect that.

and the lines last night, never saw them so long..the show I saw ended around 9:40 and people were lined up for the midnight show..Will be going to see it again...

The movie was amazing. Best I've seen in a long time. One thing, though.

I don't know why, but I thought Joss Whedon was gay. Not that it was a big deal, I just always though that he was for some reason. After seeing the way he shot the Widow/Loki interrogation scene and the ,long lingering shots of DAT ASS... I no longer have that assumption.

Nope I meant Spiderman. Ive always felt Batmans villains were weak overall. I like the Joker, Bane and Raz al Gul, but I feel the rest of them were dumb. The Penguin? The Riddler? Killer Croc? Solomen Grundy???

They couldnt hold a candle to villains like Green Goblin, Venom, Doc Ock, Rhino, Electro, Sandman, Vulture, Kraven, Carnage, Lizard etc.

I always felt the same way about Superman. Lex Luthor and Darseid were great. Zod was awesome in movies and TV (but rarely in the comics) after that the rest were kind of dumb.

Just my opinion. I always liked Marvel alot more then DC anyway. I do like DC graphic novels better though.

Maybe Im wrong but I think more people could name more SpiderMan villains then anyone else.

I mean obviously the 2 biggest villains are Lex Luthor and The Joker, but if you go by quantitywise I think Spider-Man has more villains that people know then anyone else.

I dont think most people would be able to name more then 2-3 Superman villains if you asked them.

I was thinking of Terrax.

geez people. i would have hoped that a week would pass before you all spoiled the bonus scene :down: opening weekend is not even finished.

[IamFogHat]

Sorry, I'm very tired.

[TripleSkeet]

I still havent seen it since Ive been bombarded with kid parties but Ive kinda skimmed through this thread to try and avoid spoilers. Any time I see the words "scene" or "end credits" I scroll past it. LOL

[CountryBob]

Loved it!

Now that's how you make a super hero movie!

The Hulk ruled!

My only regret is that I didnt see it in 3-d. Was another hour and a half before the 3d version started so I went 2 d.

The only thing I didn't like was I thought Captain America's suit was fucking retarded looking. Why didn't they keep the badass one from the other movie?

I missed that "Legolas" line!
I assume it was during the battle at Grand Central Station, yes? Who said it, Iron Man?

Just to repeat what I said elsewhere...
it smashed all records....

When you think back on movies you've seen in 3D, do you remember their 3D aspects, or has your brain flattened them into a more normal 2D memory?

[ozzie]

I thought it was Hellboy :)

Ha. Me too. I asked my kids who it was, and they didn't know either.

Shit, there was another one at the end of the credits? If so, we missed that one.

Saw it with the boys Saturday in 3-D, and in these new "D-Box" motion seats. (Sorry if I'm behind the times, or if these are old news, but this was the first time I'd ever seen them around here, so we had to check them out)

http://www.ohgizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/d_box_seat_2.jpg

I don't know if I'd spend the extra money on these for anything other than an "action" type movie like this... but the boys enjoyed the hell out of them.

That's been their gimmick in all of these movies.

[Dirtbag]

I think every Marvel movie except the Spider-Man series has had something after the credits. By this point anyone who doesn't stay is a dummy or doesn't care.

remember in one of the earlier spidermans when harry found his dad's stash?

[Dirtbag]

Maybe its not as widespread as I thought, but there are still a ton of them, particularly every lead-in movie to the Avengers.

Daredevil
X-Men 3
X- Men Origins: Wolverine
Iron Man
Iron Man 2
Hulk
Thor
Captain America

Either way, if you left after Thanos you didn't miss anything.

[Adolf]

dear guy that couldn't stop talking about this movie today:

i don't give a shit whatsoever

[Furtherman]

I can finally get in this thread you spoiler-mongers.


What a great movie. I couldn't believe it was 2 1/2 hours long. So much fun it flew by. Great action, dialouge and a whole bunch of laughing out loud moments. Whedon was the perfect choice for director.

Not being a comic book guy, I had no idea who the big reveal at the end was, but I did crack up at that second after credit scene, taken from just a line Iron Man mentions in the movie. Hilarious.

And the 3D was excellent too, although I may have to see it again in IMAX.

[King Imp]

I'm guessing you have to be a big Avengers fan to get this whole Shawarma thing and think that scene was funny or relevant?

As far as the other post credits scene goes, has anyone found one online? I honestly don't want to sit through the whole credits just for the scene with the reveal of the next villian. Yes, I know who it is, but I want to watch it anyway.

[Misteriosa]

I'm guessing you have to be a big Avengers fan to get this whole Shawarma thing and think that scene was funny or relevant?

no you dont. that shwarma scene refers to something iron man said during the big battle, how he always wanted to visit the shwarma joint. he said that during a point where it seemed that they were going to lose. thats why it was funny.

at this point, im sure the tags arent necessary, but i'll do it out of courtesy

Going this weekend

[Judge Smails]

I'm not one to agree with Ron whenever he talks about movies and oftentimes think he comes off as an elitist douchebag. But, I went to see this last night and I swear to God I almost fell asleep on several occasions. I 100% agree with everything Ron had to say and for the life of me can not understand all the buzz surrounding this thing. 93% on Rotten Tomatoes? Really?

I didn't like Avatar or Titanic either, but I can at least see why they could pull in numbers like they did (ie: women, date-nighters and sci-fi fans). This thing simply baffles me. There are just not enough Marvel fanboys that could have made this thing that big.

Big ups to the Marvel and Disney marketing people because they've done a masterful job. They got me to part with my 14 bucks, so God bless 'em.

[cougarjake13]

The fanboys were always gona be there

I think all the other stand alone films leading up to this is what pulled in the non fanboy crowd

I'm not a fan boy and have no idea about cOmics - but I loved it!

[TripleSkeet]

I heard Ron wondering why these comic book movies do such huge numbers and the answer is simple. Theyve simply never had the technology to do movie like this justice before. The Avengers have been around for 60 years. You know how many people grew up reading those comic books? Even if they arent fanboys and dont read them anymore, theyve been waiting for a movie like this to come out forever.

The same thing happened when Spider-Man first came out. XMen too. Marvels comics fans have waited for decades to see their favorite characters onscreen. At least DC had Superman movies in the 70s and Batman in the 80s. Marvel had nothing for the longest time.

I for one enjoyed it, but there was definitely lulls. And it took awhile to get off the ground. But in the end I thought it was pretty well done.

I think its a bit slow at the first was because this is a SEMI- "origins" movie. You have to explain why these people are getting together , like the first X-Men. But since all these super heroes have already had their own "origins" movie , the rest of the movie is the ass-kicking part, which always gets short-shrift in an origins movie. Both X-Men 2 & Spiderman 2 were better than their first, because they took so much time to set up the character plot lines in the first movies.

[fezident]

I honesty could not care less if Ron "gets it" or not when it comes to this movie. Or any movie, really.
Ron's tastes really aren't all that broad when it comes to movies. Or music. Or even food. He likes what he likes.... same as you or I.

This movie wasn't for him. Plain & simple. It's just not his bag. He knew that going in. (he still insisted on seeing it though)
He's going to see the sequel too, an he's going to dislike it.

Ron is a sharp & funny guy, but he's not an authority on anything.

The Avengers was a good summer movie. It IS more substantial than all 6 movies featuring The Xmen & The Fantastic Four.
Fans are happy. Who cares at all if Ron can't figure out why?

I agree and I understand what youre saying. I was just making the point because Ive heard others say the same thing. They didnt get what the hype was about. If comic books and comic book characters dont generally interest you, its rare youre gonna find a comic book movie you like just based on the movie alone.

[fezident]

, its rare youre gonna find a comic book movie you like just based on the movie alone.

That is absolutely true.
Although... occasionally a movie like Blade or (new) Batman movies get it very right. They stand alone. (perhaps not a coincedence that they had the same writer)

But with The Avengers.... they really HAVE set it up with the other movies. It's the first time in history that so many stand-alone movies have been intertwined on this level. IE: The energy that powered Hyrda's weapons came from Asgard. The experiment that give birth to The Hulk was designed to recreate the effect of the soldier serum several decades before. Etc. That kind of thing, in my opinion, makes this string of movies slightly less disposable than people accuse them of being.
Kenneth Branagh directed the shit out of that Thor movie. And Joe Johnston really did put a unique twist on Captain America. It's very well thought out.

Is it Pulp Fiction? Nope.
Is it The Wizard Of Oz? Nope.

But it damn sure isn't Green Lantern either.

That's why I, and so many others, really enjoyed it.

Oh absolutely. I loved how they mixed stuff from the other movies. Like how in The Incredible Hulk, Abomination was made from a combination of a failed attempt to re-create the Captain America super soldier formula and Bruce Banners blood. Or how Iron Mans dad was involved in making Captain America.

Little things like that I think are really cool, but if youve never had any interest in the comics you wouldnt even understand thats what they were doing.

[King Imp]

Finally saw the movie yesterday.

Like others have said, it was a little slow in the beginning, but when it gained steam there was no looking back.

I guess I just don't know much about the character of Loki. I always thought he was just super intelligent and a master of trickery. I didn't realize he had strength like that. He kicked the shit out of Cap in Germany and held his own against Thor. I wasn't expecting that.

Since the Hulk has always been my favorite, his scenes to me were the best. I loved the Hulk-Thor fight (always wanted to see that one happen) and when he picked up Loki and just started smashing him on the ground it was hysterical.

Overall, awesome movie and I can't wait until the next one. :clap:

Good choice for the part, but was anyone really clamoring for Namor to be in the movie? Makes me think back to Entourage when they made that Aquaman movie and thinking "would such a movie really sell that well?"

I guess he'll just be a lesser part like Hawkeye was in this one. Still, I would like to see at least one more new member in the next movie. If I had to pick one from the list of everyone who was an Avenger at one point, I think I'd go with Spiderman or Thing. That or a female hero just to get another hottie on screen next to Scarlett Johansson. :thumbup:

Marvel cant put either of those 2 in an Avengers movie right now. They dont own the movie rights.

Im guessing the next one will have Wasp, maybe Ant Man, possibly Vision. I think bringing in Namor would be a great plotline as he battled the Avengers before becoming friends with them. They already teased Thanos but I cant see them having to battle another alien race again.

That would be Sony. Its also why they are rebooting the franchise. The originally were gonna do Spider-Man 4, but after that last debacle, I think they were afraid of it tanking. But if they didnt put out some kind of Spider-Man movie by a certain date, the rights go back to Marvel. Eventually Marvel will get all of their rights back and reboot all of those franchises. Now that Disney owns them you can forget about other movie studios getting to put their own spin on Marvels work. Which in my opinion is a good thing. Word is Daredevil is next.

The Dolph one just sucked. The Thomas Jane one was OK but too comic bookish. At the time the comic was sort of like the movie. The Ray Stevenson one I thought just sucked. I just did not like it. How you can make the Punisher shoot a undercover FBI guy???

It would be interesting if they some how did the ultimate Punisher in the Avengers movies.

I was talking about Pym, and the problem is this:

You can't do Pym unless you put in the abuse story line, and it's hard to redeem a hero about abuse - especially given Whedon's feminist stance - in a 2.5 hour time span, with all these other characters.

[fezident]

I loved Punisher:Warzone. It had a great look. Unique even.
The lighting and camerawork was quite interesting, and even a little daring.
And I like how gritty and visceral the action was. Some of the performances were a bit wooden at times, but I suspect that was by design.

It was directed by woman! I find that surprising. The violence was was delivered with such impact.... and I don't normally equate that with female-film making.
