The Avengers The Avengers Post Screening Review & Discussion Thread (SPOILER FILLED) - Part 2

[Suzanne78]

I'm going to go in about 10 minutes and won't be back for a few hours so if you want me to answer some questions now get em in

I'm just thrilled you said it's at the top of the best CBMs. I love that this is a constant theme among the fan screening audience.

Even if you are a bastard!

 

[Superwhat]

He's on pacific time so he's still watchin

Oh, how I would love to be watching it again.

 

[bosef982]

Seriously, I meant that as a compliment. It's one thing for a few people to say it but when it's universal like this, that means there's something really there.

Dude, you know how I am about Marvel and their movies --

There's DEF something there. It's been 3 days and this movie has STUCK with me. I'm eager to see it again it's insane.

It has actually made me go -- "Can TDKR be this good?"

 

[Chewy]

Chewy,

I don't need details on the scene, I just need confirmation of something:

Spoiler

Is Thanos in the mid-credits scene? If so, how does he look?

Yes, they just show close-ups of the side of his face and his weapon of choice. Looks like the comic book version

 

[Nevincer]

While I don't think it's better than TDK, it's damn near up there. Told ya, right?

Better than first class/x2, bosef?

 

[ace69]

I also want to say that the final shot (not the mid credits scene, the final shot of the actual movie) is brilliant. Whatever you do, don't spoil it for yourself. Even if you spoil everything else.

Wait the one that they filmed on thursday? or the actual shot of the movie before the animated credits?

 

[Shadowlord X]

Folks can you guys who saw it also check out the spoiler-free post viewing thread and give your opinions.

It would be greatly appreciated. Thanx guys!

Bump.

Please.

 

[Chewy]

So, what's the big opening scene that was mentioned several times in interviews? Since it's not that narrated prologue linking the MCU up that was originally rumoured...

It is Loki meeting with the Chitauri.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Not really. But they looked real, unlike the very CGI looking ones from Thor.

Oh okay, I also heard that Thor doesn't fly a lot in this movie. In your opinion, is that true?

 

[Gamingboy]

What are the opening credits like, anyway? Anything special/unique?

 

[Chewy]

While I don't think it's better than TDK, it's damn near up there. Told ya, right?

Indeed you did. Haha.

 

[McLovin]

For the people who just saw the screeners, I repeat some of the questions that weren't answered:

1. Does Nick Fury personally kick ass?
2. How much screen time do the "carried over" supporting characters (Pepper's cameo, Selvig, etc.) get?
3. Is the attack by Loki and friends just on NYC, or is it a global invasion?
4. Would my friend who has only seen IM, IM2 and TIH be able to follow what goes on in the movie?

1. Yes
2. 5min
3. NYC
4. Needs to see Capt America!

 

[Chewy]

Oh okay, I also heard that Thor doesn't fly a lot in this movie. In your opinion, is that true?

Yes.

This exactly! It's insane. It has it all, the humor, action and heart.

I love the camera work towards the end. It made it feel as if every character was involved, it never focused on solely one. Loved that!

 

[McLovin]

I can't believe Colson is gone

Wtf??!

 

[bosef982]

Better than first class/x2, bosef?

First Class has NOTHING on Avengers.

And it's on par, if not above, X2.

 

[Chewy]

Wait the one that they filmed on thursday? or the actual shot of the movie before the animated credits?

The shot before the animated credits.

 

[antovolk]

It is Loki meeting with the Chitauri.

Strange that that's what was promised as BIG by the cast/crew...I was hoping for that prologue, would be a great way to introduce the MCU/add the post-credits scenes for those who haven't been following it as closely as we have...

 

[bosef982]

Indeed you did. Haha.

Dude - the helicarrier sequence? How overwhelmingly awesome was all of that? And then you're like -- how can they top that? And it's amazing how he made each hero feel like they could be dead and were being pushed to their limit...

 

[Sockin]

"They're" So there's multiple Leviathans?

Yeah, there's a bunch of 'em. They're not called anything.

 

[Chewy]

I'm just thrilled you said it's at the top of the best CBMs. I love that this is a constant theme among the fan screening audience.

Even if you are a bastard!

I think it's better than TDK.

They're both brilliant movies, but I have to be in a certain frame of mind to watch TDK. I don't imagine that'll be the case with this.

 

[kaijunexus]

I...I seriously can't take this thread anymore.

I've never felt this excited for anything in my life...

 

[bosef982]

The shot before the animated credits.

Which one was that? I don't remember? I was so like -- overwhelmed and exhausted by that point. PM me.

 

[Nevincer]

First Class has NOTHING on Avengers.

And it's on par, if not above, X2.

That's what I wanted to hear.

 

[MynAmeIsedDie90]

Does Thor fly in the NYC battle??
