The Avengers aren't in my top 10 favourite superhero movies of all time, I couldn't care less about the RT score.

But what I will say is that at certain points in the movie I literally was getting goose bumps (Hulk vs Thor for example) and other times I was thinking to myself that I can't believe it but Marvel have done it.

So the movie gets major props from me, but as a 'movie' Avengers is now where NEAR what I class a great movie. Story, plot, narrative, character development, nope, not for me.

For example, Loki's plan was to get captured and...? Enrage the Hulk? Because?
Meh, you go with it because what else can you do but (IMHO) it's not a great movie but it is one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen. For some people that MAKES it great and more power to these people but I want and expect more and will be hoping for more of what I want in the sequel.

Who cares about the Avengers thread? Diesel just said at comic con that he cant talk about it but there will be big news about him and Marvel at the end of the month. Go listen to some more people who have no clue

Like Kevin Feige? Yeah he has no clue.


Anyway this isn't the thread for this. There is already an Avengers 2 vs WF thread.

Because he'd try to kill some of the Avengers and destroy the hellicarrier? Which he did. He fought the Hulk, tried to kill the Black Widdow and destroyed the hellicarrier.

Your point is my point. They're not even on the same level, so why compare them? What I wrote at the end of my post was his words along with this :whatever: for a very good reason. Apples and oranges.

I don't think we were making the same point but, to each his own I guess.

I think wb has a good thing with these producers. I look at what when down with green lantern and wolverine origins and fantastic four and a bunch of the mcu films and I :whatever: at all the people that crap all over this new direction.

A good place.

The first season of Lost was great. Anything beyond that was a poor excuse for television and lazy writing. They had so much potential and spoiled it to go the easy science fictional route where there didn't need to be logic, just explain everything later on and with magic and powers.

But that's for another argument. Trek was done well I thought, but I respect your opinion. I know people who weren't fans of it, still a good flick nonetheless. SW needs to be put in delicate hands, it's one of the biggest franchises out there and needs to be dealt with properly.

Look at the subtlety and nuance of Wrath of Khan compared to the bombastic ST 2. Now take that and apply it to SW. JJ would get a pass because there is no way on this earth it could be worse than the prequel but I want a director that gives as much time to the story as he does to the action.

Let me stress that I don't think ST and ST 2 are 'bad' movies but want more than 'good' I want GREAT and if you don't possess the deftness to deliver that then make way for a director who can.

Where has Kevin Feige publicly said diesel isn't in the Avengers 2? Did he come on the forum board and say it? I visit several sites and it is still being talked about. So give me a link where Kevin denies it. But even so doesn't mean it is the truth

Okay, how did Loki know the Hulk would be a raging monster? By all accounts Banner had the Hulk under control and if the Hulk wasn't under control then why was he under control at the end? The movie tries to have it both way with no explanation whatsoever.

'I will find him'

Sorry, what was that, Zod?

'I will find him!'

Sorry, one more time, Zod, for the people at the back.

'I WILL FIND HIM!!!'

Nice attempt to save the Avengers. "Hey you guys want to try some schwarma?"

"You want me to put the hammer down?"

Every line by Chris Evans smelt like limburger!

RDJ's schwarma line wasn't cheese. Everyone in my theatre laughed excessively. And Rogers is from the past, you can't expect him to talk in every day lingo.

But is that Abrams's fault? I didn't follow the production on those movies so I don't know how much power he may or may not have had but wasn't that the idea of the reboot in the first place? To try and turn Star Trek into a popcorn movie?

And while I must admit the movies are littered with dumb and stupid s***, I have to admit that at the very least they were both pretty well made. I don't know if Into Darkness really challenged me in the same way old Trek did... but I had a lot of fun watching it that was for sure.
