Not to be cruel here, but anyone who thought the Avengers missed the point should probably look for a different genre of movie to watch. frankly I got the same thrill in theater I felt when the original Star Wars was released those many decades ago. Nailed it perfectly.
Well, if it nailed those characters then im just not interested in those characters or the Avengers concept I guess.
Im not really a fan of this genre of movies anyway because most of them are made just to be popcorn fun. It's not what I like to see when I go to the theater. I like films with weight and something to say, not just something to show. Fun is one thing, and if the visuals are insanely cool like Star Trek or Star Wars or Pacific Rim..then ill sit back with popcorn and a smile on my face. But I didn't really get that with Avengers visually. But I felt more emotion in the latest Star Trek movie to be honest.
I had fun with my friends the first time I saw Avengers. I had fun with the Hulk action scenes and some of the Stark one-liners, but I couldn't sit through it a second time when it was out on Blu-Ray. The jokes got old right away, the action didn't feel special the second time, the acting isn't the greatest outside of Downey. It all felt so hollow. Like most pop songs on the radio, a happy meal or a new Transformers/Fast & The Furious/Pirates Of The Caribbean type of Hollywood flick. There's nothing to it. It doesn't stay with you. It just feels so commercialized and made more for kids.
I barely watch action blockbusters but when I do, I like to see a good story with emotion and good filmmaking being put into it MESHED with the big budget action. Like Terminator 2, Casino Royale/Skyfall, TDK trilogy, Inception, these new Star Trek movies, hell even the first couple of Jurassic Park movies. That's the perfect balance Ill go see. Avengers to me felt one dimensional and just gave the people the fun vibe of superheroes. Ill pass on that stuff.
Justice League may be the exact same thing. I might enjoy it a lot more simply because it's still Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and I haven't seen Flash on the big screen..so inevitably ill be more excited. But I probably wont watch it too many times if it's just an Avengers copy done DC style.
DC/WB can tap into something else entirely when they do their solo movies. As they've done with Tim Burton's Batman, Nolan's films, Man Of Steel and V For Vendetta.
