The Avengers Will this be the biggest superhero movie ever?

[Mister Sinister]

Because I think it'll be pushed that way, especially with such a massive cast.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Depends on how far Marvel is willing to take it. Who will they cast for the other heroes... how large will the budget be... etc. I have no doubt this can be one of the highest grossing films ever.

 

[Lobo]

Honestly, i think it will be.

 

[Chewy]

Quite Possibly

It'll have to move away from HP8 first, though

 

[FaT_tONle]

Here we go with the release dates again... it was either HP8 or BB3... take your pick. Seems like WB wants that mid July release as much as anybody else... going back to 2007 on (guess they learned from the SR debacle). I honestly don't think it will impact... besides they can move to July 1st if need be.

If Thor & Captain America are good, I think it will. If the movie is also the best superhero movie, Titanic will get booted down to # 2 by the best superhero team in the world.

 

[Aztec]

If Thor & Captain America are good, I think it will.

I agree but it's still got to be a good movie in its own right. I really think the best approach would be to follow The Ultimates as much as possible.

 

[marcvader]

Definately has the potential to be. It all depends on how the solos do along with it having an epic feel. The right director is key.

 

[Spider-Vader]

My sentence after that meant that it was seen as "the best superhero movie" quality wise.

 

[Immortalfire]

I certainly hope so

 

[Kable24]

Honestly, i think it will be.

I think it will be the biggest as well. I am really looking forward to this movie.



BTW: You don't know how many times I rewatched that scene on my DVR. best part of the episode.

 

[Wally West]

Obviously it has the potential, at this point though it's way too early to say. Locking down Sam Jackson was definately a step in the right direction.

We can't get ahead of ourselves, Ironman 2 should be good if they can secure the cast they want. Thor and Captain America could both be great, but we still have no clue who will playing the leading roles...

I think Captain America is the x-factor. It is set to be released only a few months prior to Avengers (right?). If they knock that out of the park, and build enough momentum, we could see a push at Titanic/TDK type of numbers...

I guess there is another x-factor as well, one with potentially more impact - no one knows where the economy is heading, things may be better a year from now, they may not, who knows how good or bad things will be by 2011. Then again, maybe that doesn't matter, wasn't Gone with the Wind released during the great depression? That film did alright for itself lol, so I guess we'll see.

 

[Carlo Comicus]

I hope.

 

[Carlo Comicus]

I hope.

 

[Aluchak]

No doubt on my mind that it will.
I mean they will get a bunch of A Listers to play Superheroes that have been around for decades and they will come out over a span of 4 years, so its going to be EXTREMELY hyped up.
I doubt they will screw up the first two and if they are even just "Okay" it will still be HUGE.

I mean, this is huge.

 

[KingOfMars]

cant believe an avengers movie is actually happening.

 

[Lobo]

I think it will be the biggest as well. I am really looking forward to this movie.

[chesslover]

So this a remake of The Avengers that starred Ralph Fiennes and Uma Therman?

 

[Lobo]

Are you serious?

If you are, the answer is no http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_(comics)

 

[Daredevil_2003]

If Marvel plays their cards right this can and should be the biggest superhero movie ever. As others have said it largely depends on how Cap and Thor go. If they're of IM quality or better, and then Marvel gets a really high quality script and writes the film makers a blank check, Avengers could be more than a fanboy's wet dream. It could be ****ing epic on a scale we've never seen before.

I'm in the camp that believes they should heavily base it off The Ultimates. That book was incredible and had a very cinematic style.

 

[Matt.S99]

Its a movie of one of the best team up ever. I say yes.

 

[Eggyman]

Biggest? Probably. Best? I doubt it.

 

[Ipodman]

Is it safe to say its the first and ONLY team-up on the big screen?...

.. for Marvel/DC at least...

 

[bryanss3]

I think it will be big for fans but Critics will probably rip it apart cause essentially it will be Iron Man, Cap, and Thor who all will be starring in their own movies. and then throwing them into one movie plus adding more characters will confuse people. and critics probably won't be very kind to this and it might be confusing for non comic fans who are fans of the Iron Man and Hulk movies, but that all depends on how the movies leading up to it flow. I'm excited for all of these movies by marvel studios. I think the movies are sort of being done in a strange order, but its obvious they have a plan. their order is IM2, Thor, Cap, Avengers, if I was doing it I'd do Cap, Thor, IM2, Avengers, but its obviously a better idea and on grounds to release a sequel before a whole new characters movie cause sequels for the most part are more profitable and familiar.

but to sum up what I was trying to say we'll probably get what we want, fans of the movies will prob get something from it also, but I don't expect critics to praise it.

 

[Shivsguy616]

Possibly. They'll have to make it quite epic though.

Watchmen was amazing, it'll be a tough film to follow.
