The avengers.

I'm thinking that perhaps this is one of those films where I should've watched in the theaters, because I simply couldn't appreciate it at home.

I don't know, but most of it was so typical for me. The little character development, pacing problems... kind of generic. I don't know, but I was actually waiting for the film to be over. The last 15 minutes where actually good, but damn that beginning was so slow.

I must admit I'm not an action movie fan. I really like story heavy films.

Note, I know I'm late but I missed the film last summer. Also this is just my opinion, not fact... just incase I get gang raped.

Seems to me like you are a good judge of movies. Avengers was a piece of trash. Everybody j*zzed their pants when they saw some superheroes team up. No story, CGI orgy, illogical characters and plots, bad movies.brucewayne69

was one of the few movies ive seen in Theatres. loved it.

thought it was a fantastic movie.

could watch it over and over again and not get tired of it.

Last 15 minutes were good? I found the fighting and stuff in last 30 mins to be the worst part of the film

Never saw this movie and not sure what's so super awesome about it (maybe I'll find it super awesome once I watch it) but either way... *feels like an outcast.*Toph_Girl250

I liked it, though the opening act was admittedly pretty slow.

Nah, I saw it in theatres twice and overall I'd agree it was pretty meh.

Well there's your problem. Avenger's story was basically nonexistent, it was really just a Marvel showcase with explosions and Joss dialogue.

Avengers is a great movie. Great action and cast. 8/10

The Avengers lacks any sort of impact on the viewer unless they've seen the bulk of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films released prior, the majority of which were flat-out tie-ins meant to build up hype for The Avengers.

After all, the only real purpose of The Avengers was to showcase all your favorite Marvel heroes (unless you like Spider-Man or X-Men) on the same screen blowing sh*t up.

I haven't seen this film before.

True, but being a fan of the the other films also meant that the first 40 mins of The Avengers' character establishing-ness was completely pointless. The pacing was mostly dead until Thor appeared.

Still, the last fight scene was pretty fantastic. Difficult not to nerdgasm at that.

Surely you mean "it was a film, of course it will be best experienced in a cinema..."? :P

I mean, visual and sound fidelity aside, nothing tops seeing a great film with a great audience.

Illogical characters and plots?! With superheroes?! I've never even heard of such a thing!

The reason they picked Loki, I assume, is because Loki was the first villain the Avengers fought in the comics. The fract that he was already establiches in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the most likely to pose a substantial threat to the team they assembled probably also worked in his favor.

As a fan of super heroes, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I didn't want a deep, thought-provoking masterpiece, I wanted fun character interactions and super hero action, and on that level the movie delivered. There's room for a strong story in super hero movies, but this movie decided on another direction and pulled it off, I think.

That all said, it's just another summer blockbuster at the end of the day. I personally don't understand the hype for it. I didn't think the Avenegers were that well known outside of comic book fans. I always thought movie going audiences would be more hyped to see the Justice League. Hrm. :\

I agree. Saw it with a group of friends during the summer in theaters. They all loved it, I thought it was shallow, unoriginal and pandering. But then again thats how most summer block busters have been these past few years. Plenty of CGI and action, but lacking everywhere else.

It was terrible

What? The movie is really good!

I enjoyed it at home just as much as I enjoyed watching it at the cinema

But we've seen them do better, there's no reason for a movie helmed by Joss Whedon of all people to have such a weak plot.

I went into avengers expcting awdsome actoon, fights, explosions, etc. and that's exactly what I got, along with some great dialogue.

I thought avengers was great.
