The Avengers
I liked the bond between Black Widow and Hawkeye; I also thought they'd be cute together. (I also like the guy who plays Hawkeye, I think he was great in Mission Impossible 4)
Till the end of the line.

Jeremy Renner is fantastic.
Saw this movie at midnight, saw it again the same day, a third time that weekend, a fourth a week later, and will see it again with my sister in June. Fantastic, amazing movie. Topped every expectation, and Loki seriously creeped me out. Which made Hiddleston all the more amazing. The cast was amazing, Joss did a huge thing and did it *perfectly* and I'm happy with ALL of it!
I'd say more, but I keep getting distracted. It really was an amazing movie. It set up for a sequel, and all the other movies to come.

Well, I watched this last night, and my expectations were met. I have very little to complain about, and yet I have very little to praise. Spoiler alert. ALERT.
The bad news is that I downloaded this movie off the internet. Don't judge me, it was my first time ever! Alas, a lame guy from Comcast sent us a piracy warning. Stupid cable jerk followed my browsing history! It's good to know we don't have privacy in America anymore! What happened to the good old days, anyway??

LOL. I have cut back in my old age but I've downloaded ridiculous numbers of movies in my day and never got a letter or anything. Maybe Time Warner doesn't pay attention. A friend of mine who uses another company got a few letters asking him to delete things soon after he downloaded them.
Unless a DVDrip has shown up since I checked last, definitely try to check out the movie once its officially out... a cam can't do it justice.
I probably already said earlier in this thread, but Cap and Hulk's "religious" lines were probably my favorite parts of the film as well.

AE, that was actually an incredible review. You almost made me excited enough to watch it for a second time.
Also Canada is awesome because we don't have any cable guys snooping around our web history. Yet.

It was a decent theater cam, though. Only a few of the faces were blacked out and I could almost see the top of screen! Actually, I've seen some horrible theater cameras and this was one of the best. I do plan to buy/rent it once it releases on DVD, but that's in September, so I couldn't wait.Godzilla wrote:Unless a DVDrip has shown up since I checked last, definitely try to check out the movie once its officially out... a cam can't do it justice.
Thanks. I love writing movie reviews because it always seems to provide 'closure'.Tyler Durden wrote:AE, that was actually an incredible review. You almost made me excited enough to watch it for a second time.

I'm pretty sure Avengers is in 2 buck theatres by now, why even bother downloading it? If you have a free afternoon it's a great movie to see in the theatres, really, a small screen doesn't do it justice.

I second that. Besides which, they can't make big, expensive movies like this and pay all the many, many people whose job it is to produce them if you don't pay money to see them... which is why, y'know, piracy is illegal.Mike Lowery wrote:I'm pretty sure Avengers is in 2 buck theatres by now, why even bother downloading it?

It made insane profits, I'm pretty sure everyone got paid.

No, I consider it human goodwill to promote the movie for free... its practically the Great Commission except not.

Well, I finally got around to watching The Avengers. It took me quite a while to pirate it, but I was eventually successful.

I pre-ordered the DVD/Bluray 4-disc combo as soon as it was listed on Amazon... but now I see they have a huge awesome boxset of all the movies leading up to it included. Decisions, decisions.
I own all but Iron Man 2 on DVD... these are all bluray and a few 3D bluray. I dunno, it'd be cool. >_> Hate rebuying films I already own, though.

I just bought the DVD (Cause I don't have no Blu Ray Player) And just watched the commentary. Pretty interesting. I have now seen the movie six times. Here is my full review.

I used the MPA.
And finally saw it. It was actually pretty good. Not the greatest movie ever since it was basically all build up for the first half, and then BOOM SMASH BOOM for the next half. Still it's a super hero movie, so that's expected. Although, can anyone confirm who that villain was in the credits?
