No monstrous starships flinging lasers, missile-swarms, and fighter-squadrons at each other in the cold, dead, darkness of interplanetary space.....?

I'll definitely make some time to catch this on the big screen on my vacation (which starts next week

)

That... movie... was... AWESOME!

It did not disappoint. I was concerned that it may have just been run through a bit too quickly (personally, Thor and First Avenger left me hanging). But enough time was taken to allow everyone adequate screen time and the story was solid.

The CGI and green screening was believable (especially since the movie's so fast-paced, you can't keep up with any fake looking stuff). There was a LOT of awesome eye-candy that makes you want to scream "That's so freakin' awesome!" (courtesy Stark and Hulk). The humor was also engaging (Stark again). Plus there were match-ups I think we have all only dreamed of seeing on-screen... I think I could have cried.

And towards the end of the film I asked myself "Soo... where's Optimus?". You'll see what I mean.

I only have two complaints:
(1) I would have liked to see more of the enemy. What I mean is like getting inside their heads, seeing them believe in their cause as much as the Avengers do in theirs. You know, just something to make the whole thing look a bit more perilous. If not that, something like breaking the Statue of Liberty. Could be just me.

(2) I would have liked to see a bit more of Cap, Hawkeye, and Widow...especially Cap. Yeah there's gotta be a lot of smashing and crashing (and boy do I love smashing and crashing). But the other tactical aspects I would have liked to see more of. I like seeing things like becoming disarmed, improvisation, hand to hand combat, getting wounded. Something saying that it's not all about high-handed invincibility.

In the end I loved it and await Avengers 2, HOPING it doesn't suffer from "sequelitis".

*PHEW*
Now to cool down and wait for The Dark Knight Rises.

lol @ could have cried. Totally agree boy Rion, totally agree.

I am at pains to find fault with this masterpiece of a film.

They gave us so much of the good stuff in this movie that it is almost an insult to attempt a nitpick

and I have just one very very minute nitpick

Spoiler (hover to show)

There, I said it....tiny quibble aside, Avengers is an absolutely riotous, adrenaline pumping, flawless theater experience.

Can't wait. LOL @ Rion, wondering now if I should carry a hanky just in case, hmmm...

Archer · « **Reply #88 on:** May 03, 2012, 02:26:39 PM »

Dude after the film I was like Transformers? what are those again?

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #89 on:** May 03, 2012, 04:32:16 PM »

So apparently Imaxx had a local take on the Avengers present.

Black Widow stole the show

As for the rest, ymmv

No more talk of cam copies here plz. You will only be ruining it for yourselves trust me, I've already seen it and I feel liking making a 2nd trip back there now. It is worth every penny and more on the big screen.

Berzerk · « **Reply #98 on:** May 04, 2012, 09:49:45 AM »

I waiting for crowds to die down first oui.

Archer · « **Reply #99 on:** May 04, 2012, 10:00:57 AM »

Yea I know what you mean, with the exception of TDKR I'll be doing the same for the others this summer.

Don't get me wrong eh I enjoy when the rest of audience is enjoying the movie as much as you but when they start talking out of place that just kills it for me and down here that occurs mostly during a movie's opening week when the theater is packed.
