The Avengers is the ultimate superhero film, as opposed to The Dark Knight which went beyond the genre. I cannot wait to see what Joss Whedon will do with Avengers: Age of Ultron! :D
big Joss Whedon fan, so looking forward to watching this. don't think i would be wanting to see it otherwise tbh. p.s. thanks for the upload. did Keromde do a review of Headhunters or This Must Be the Place? :)
I think I'm the only person who found this film to be actually really boring, and I really enjoyed a lot of other marvel films (iron man 1-3, thor 2, captain america etc)
pardon my naivety, but why are there video ads playing in the top right corner of the page? doesn't having a noisy ad chatting over your video kind of defeat the purpose of RU-vid?
I preferred John Carter of Mars to the Avengers. I liked John Carter throughout, but it gets better when Woola is on screen. Whereas, the only time I was really enjoying the Avengers was Loki and the spectacle at the end.
Never thought it before, but kermode is being nit picky here. I hated transformers and to make that comparison was out of order. It wasnt too dark, maybe a tiny bit flabby in the middle. But brilliant
I think there's a definite disconnect between the dialogue scenes and the action scenes, which I didn't feel there was with Nolan's films and the Hellboy movies.
There are a LOT of films Kermode likes. People just assume that anything other than, "OMG, I LOVED IT!!", any kind of intelligent critique of a film's strength and weaknesses, is some kind of veiled attack on it as a whole and that he dislikes it entirely.
What I will say is Avengers doesn't go down too well on a 2nd or third viewing...my opinion. In the cinema it was fun and entertaining...but I just can't take it too seriously whenever I see it on TV now...the whole midsection on the flyiing carrier was too drawn out. One of the MAIN problems with Avengers or any Marvel film to be honest is the lack of a REAL threat that the audience can resonate with...you already know it's gonna be all hunky dory by the end
even though avangers was my best movie of the year ( well laurence anyways is the best movie of 2012) i can understand his point of view.. he watched a movie and he wanted stuff..i totally disagree but he says why he didn't like the movie and i totally understand his opinion... but again i disagree!!!
saw it,was ok,but more or less forgot about it the next day,its only there to make money not stand the test of time unlike Prometheus that seem's the kind of movie this year that will not be forgotten and will stand the test of time!
This film is terrible!I know you can judge and compare it against other comic book films and how they have managed to juggle the characters, but hang on its really poor, for kids yes I get it, for anyone else no simply no. I laughed at it and that got me through the film, secondly the constant bemuddlement and self questioning of; why do people like this?. For me its Nolan's way to approach a comic book film or its for kids, otherwise I simply dont get it......can someone explain why I am wrong?
