Saw the avengers yesterday, it was really awesome imo.
It came out yesterday here in Sweden.

I thought Piranha 3D was more humour than horror, the piranhas were a bit over-the-top and the strange obsession with boobs in the movie takes away from the horror-atmosphere. Still looking forward to it though, 3D was a lot of fun to watch, even if it was pretty stupid.Piranha 3DD (Piranha 3 Double D) looks like it'll be some more campy 3D horror fun! Also, in the same vein, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 3D!
same in my theaterIt was interesting how the character who got the most laughs, oohs, ahs, and straight up applause in my theater was the Hulk. Maybe because this was the first movie where his role wasn't to be really sad and sympathetic, but to wreck the shit out of shit. He stole the final battle.
Sure, I agree it's hard to make a case that any movie is perfect. [VERY MILD SPOILERS AHEAD] My main quibble with The Avengers though is the fact that the bad guys were rather generic and weren't really fleshed out at all other than 'hey look, we're really evil'. I'd argue that in the end this doesn't matter too much, as Loki was the primary antagonist and the film was much more about the superheroes themselves and their struggles to work together than the threat of the alien invasion. I'd agree with the other comments in this thread that this is probably the funniest superhero movie, and one of the funniest blockbusters that I've ever seen.Well it's hard to argue that a movie is perfect Seneschal, but I don't think it had any problems. Last year Fox raised the bar for ensemble movies, this year Marvel broke the bar completely. Now DC needs to get their shit together because we need a Justice League movie like this.
I don't think that seeing all of the preceding films is necessary to enjoy The Avengers, but it would probably help in many instances to understand certain jokes/callbacks/plot points. There are a few bits of the movie that I don't think I would have enjoyed so much if I hadn't seen Iron Man, Thor or Captain America, so I'd recommend watching them beforehand if you can. That said, I haven't seen Iron Man 2 and a lot of people say that that was pretty much a 2 hour trailer for this film, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.is there anyone who has seen avengers who isn't a marvel fan? i haven't liked many of their movies, and i know enough about marvel to tell when they've done something wrong. iron man was good and first class was pretty cool, i just want to know if i would enjoy avengers more in theaters or what, especially since movie tickets are expensive nowadays. also would i have to see iron man 2/thor/etc to catch up or does the avengers deviate enough from those to make sense without them?
a friend of mine who came with us at midnight said he usually doesn't like marvel movies but he enjoyed the avengers, so take that as you will.is there anyone who has seen avengers who isn't a marvel fan? i haven't liked many of their movies, and i know enough about marvel to tell when they've done something wrong. iron man was good and first class was pretty cool, i just want to know if i would enjoy avengers more in theaters or what, especially since movie tickets are expensive nowadays. also would i have to see iron man 2/thor/etc to catch up or does the avengers deviate enough from those to make sense without them?.
You had Loki who was a good character and the army who did their job of making the final battle one of the best in film history. I had heard a critic say prior "Can't we do something more original than have a war in a city?" but the enemy was visually unique and presented unique challenges to each different hero. They were pretty unprecedented.My main quibble with The Avengers though is the fact that the bad guys were rather generic and weren't really fleshed out at all other than 'hey look, we're really evil'.
i heard thor was ok but good things about the captain. i know enough about thor/loki to get me by, i try to keep up because i have friends who are big fans. i'll give captain america a shot and go from there. if anything i'll see avengers next week.as far as the previous movies, plotwise, thor and captain america are the two you should probably watch first. the primary antagonist in the avengers is loki who was also the antagonist in thor and the plot is based around the tesseract which first appeared in captain america. the plot makes sense without them, but they help explain the background of the characters.
according to wikipedia, Chris Evans signed on to play Captain America in 6 movies - a Captain America trilogy and an Avengers trilogy imo, therefore:You had Loki who was a good character and the army who did their job of making the final battle one of the best in film history.

So the mothership disabling them kind of hurts this theory (but doesn't have to destroy it). But those were Skrulls. Yeah, the movie tried to be cute and pass them off as non-shapechanging warriors, but why? Was it a mistake? Remember, the portal has been opened, there was mass confusion, and the next movie will involve their real leader (apparently Thanos). I think the next movie is going to involve a more secret invasion...
