Pretty excited for this moment and for me it really is the start of the summer movie season with this being released.

As you can tell from my sig I'm waiting for this one. I just hope that they aren't trying to do to much that is a lot of actors to juggle with quite a few intertwining stories.

My biggest question at the moment is concerning THOR. He was stuck on his homeworld at the end of his movie with the love of his life trapped on Earth. Natalie Portman isn't set to be in the movie so he comes back to Earth and is like bitch please I gotta fight bad guys?

Also hoping that we finally have a Bruce Banner we can stick with.

 

[Heisenberg]

Looks like an interesting movie and I seen the trailers a couple months back, I'm a big fan of Ironman/Robert Downey Jr. so I'll give this a watch.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

They'll probably have something along the lines of Natalie Portman's character dying or something....

But this movie looks like it could be great. I've watched the trailer a ton of times, waiting in anticipation for it.

 

[Deuce]

I cannot wait for this movie, I'm super excited. I heard they were doing this a while ago and I have been excited for it ever since I heard about it, May 4th is a great release date IMO, it gets everyone more stoked for the movie then once it comes out more people will know about it.

Season 2 of the animated series also comes out that weekend, with Widow being rumored to join the team full time

 

[John McHenry]

Their have been a couple trailers released the most recent being the following it's a 40 second scene so this is a direct lift from the movie guessing pretty early on.

Goddamn its out in just another month.

I've got a $30 movie voucher saved so even if I'm somehow destitute within this month I'm still going to see Avengers and Batman.

 

[Defiant]

Saw this earlier today and it was fucking awesome, fair bit of fan service too if you pay attention.

 

[Andrew]

Lots of people on my facebook has seen the movie and said it was awesome. I'm thinking about seeing it next week sometime.

 

[Defiant]

You really should. The fight scenes are of course amazing and the initial conflict between the group is simple, but brilliant in the way it intertwines each character and outlines the clear contrast between each Avenger's ethics. So there's a nice little layer of character exploration. Nothing too complex, but everything you'd dream of as a Marvel fan.

However If I had to criticise one thing about The Avengers honestly, its that there isn't really any clear standout performance, at least in my opinion. Although Scarlett, Downey Jr. and the guy who does Loki did quite good.

 

[Keith]

The main problem for me will be it feeling too much like four seprate movies in one, rather than one complete whole. Some of the super heroes I like more than others, but the reviews have been postive and once again the Wheldon factor draws me in. I will be seeing this.

 

[Heisenberg]

Seeing this within the next week or so, can't wait! Hearing rave reviews and I'm sure it will be good. Heck, even the ratings on IMDB are great.

Ratings: 8.9/10 from 12,984 users - Metascore: 71/100

 

[Rated R Superstar]

I am extremely pumped for this movie. I'm really happy it's happening.

 

[John McHenry]

Halfway through and I'll say executed very very well.
