The Avengers The Avengers Post Screening Review & Discussion Thread (SPOILER FILLED) - Part 4

[Sharkboy]

I was pretty much under the impression that Thor and Hulk were the most powerful, with Cap being the general/commander of sorts, and Iron man having the smarts. There was a reason the entire first half of the movie everyone is scared s**tless of Banner, If he popped up in that three way fight....you can bet they all would have stopped fighting immediately.

 

[Nathan]

Well people who haven't seen the movie have been telling people who have seen the movie that Iron Man is as strong as Thor

Tis madness I say.

 

[Superwhat]

Tis madness I say.

Madness? This IS SPARTA!!!

I'm on the bus now. Gonna see the film when I get off,I'll write a review after the screening. But I still can't believe this I'm going to watch the avengers. I mean iron man,captin America,hulk,thor,black widow,hawkeye,nick fury and Maria hill all in the same film I mean surely that's impossible.

Favourite moments?

Spoiler

Loki taking the piss out of Black Widow. Granted she got him to spill the beans in the end, but he really did come off as truly menacing in that scene.

Just about everything with Stark/Iron Man in it (with the exception of that unnecessary "it's a one-way trip" scene in the end, because everyone and their dog knows that is not going to happen, so it's just pointless dramatisation). I think the moment where Tony gets the propellers working and then gets that feeling of "oh crap" when he realises that the Cap didn't pull the lever was enough to show that he wasn't afraid to put himself on the line for others. Oh and "WE ARE NOT SOLDIERS!" was simply .

Hawkeye got the shaft in terms of characterisation, but not when it comes to being a total badass. His assault on the SHIELD carrier showed that even in the midst of superhumans just how dangerous a cunning and tactical assassin can be.

Captain America's quip about "there is only one God and I don't think he dresses like that" was classic. Showed he was old-school both inside and out.

Mark Ruffalo did an excellent job as Banner. I loved the playful banter between him and Tony.

EDIT: Crap, I forgot my favourite (and best) scene of all - when everyone confronts each other on the SHIELD carrier with Fury talking about developing weapons of mass destruction using the power of the artifact, Stark and Cap going "let's take this outside", Thor mocking the puny mortals for their pettiness all the while Black Widow (and deep down inside, everyone else) freaking out about Bana losing his s**t. It was a genuinely tension-filled moment and wished the film had more such instances that showed how unstable this team really was.

I'm sure there are many more as this film has more than enough for us fanboys to choke on, but I'll probably notice them on subsequent viewings.

 

[paulogonza]

i wiil watching tonight om midnight show, after thet i will put my review here . high expectations.

 

[Sharkboy]

This is going to become a cliche for favourite moment ever but I'll still say it.

Spoiler

Hulk >BLAM> Thor.

 

[Nathan]

That'll probably be my new avatar for a while, once they release the Movie for sale. I just love his jerk attitude.

 

[Fenrir]

Oh and might I add how refreshing it was to finally have a superhero movie without the dreaded forced love-interest/romantic subplot and damsels-in-distress?

 

[Chewy]

Yeah outside of Pepper's three scenes there's really no romantic element whatsoever. And it wasn't really missed

Bromances abound, tho

 

[Nathan]

Yes, that is refreshing. After watching all 5 Marvel Movies, in preparation for The Avengers, I was annoyed that each one of them had a romantic sub-plot.

My girlfriend won't be too happy with this.

 

[kieron39]

Am i right in guessing that everyone's favourite scene was

Spoiler

after Thor and hulk take that monster down, he just knocks him down with a lefty!

ha ha man the crowd erupted at that part most compared to other gags

 

[thalidomide]

Amen to that Fenrir.

I think that's what Amy Nicholson is *****ing about, there's no love story whatsoever -_-

 

[Drummerdude7]

Very glad there was no romantic element....in a movie like this there's no place for it.

Too much **** to avenge!!!!

Ya, my crowd was roaring in laughter when

Spoiler

Hulk punched Thor off the Leviathon and then again when Hulk slammed Loki around like a rag doll.

Honestly, it would've killed the pacing of the movie.

 

[TTFN]

Considering half the audience is female, romantic dynamics are necessary. Sausage fests alone won't bring in the bucks even if there are some women that don't mind. I won't miss it in TA but the solo films need it and luckily for me, tptb agree.

 

[Chewy]

The crowd erupted so many times. All three of those mentioned Hulk scenes, the scene where Hulk roars after catching Tony, "He's adopted", "So that's what that does", "I wouldn't call that a party", etc

 

[Drummerdude7]

Honestly, it would've killed the pacing of the movie.

Very true.

Although I'm sure they could tackle it next time...maybe have an Ultimates 3 inspired scandal between Black Widow and Tony in which their intimate relations are caught on tape and leaked to the public. Whedon did say he wanted to get more personal, after all.

[BLACKOUT].....buahaha kidding. t: [/BLACKOUT]

 

[Sharkboy]

Another personal favourite of mine which everyone seemed to miss because it was so random and lightning fast.

Spoiler

After the avengers all meet they all have a tense scene centered around their conversation on the bridge of the carrier, one random bridge member looks around and when realising no one is looking, he switches on a game on his monitor and starts playing, that made me chuckle quite a bit, because that is such a Whedon scene.

We were just talking about that [BLACKOUT]"Galaga" scene[/BLACKOUT] in the "favorite moments" thread.

 

[Rock Sexton]

Did anyone else walk out of theater pumped up? I know I did. I haven't felt that way after seeing a movie in a long time. Getting the ultimate cherry on top with [BLACKOUT]Thanos[/BLACKOUT] put it over the top for me. I was literally floating on air.

Yes I absolutely did. Felt like being a kid again.
