Just saw Avengers Assemble AKA The Avengers

Surely this deserves a thread of its own? :)

A friend got me a ticket to the first fan showing tonight in London.

You may think you've seen the best bits in the trailers and clips...you have not.

Full thoughts later.

I kinda hate you right now.

It'll pass in a few weeks.

I both love you and hate you at the same time.

i refuse to participate in this thread, besides this point. i'm making a point to not spoil this movie at all for myself. luckily it comes out the first weekend after I arrive back home in PA, going to be a fun family movie outing with the wife, my mom, and possibly my sister as well.

@Gargoyle: "image" to you, too!

Grr...try again.



Right...some non-spoilery bullets

- Yes there's a credits scene, it's in the middle rather than right at the end. It made my brain go pop.
- It's a very funny film, snappy dialogue aplenty
- The story makes sense and there's some good character development
- I still don't like the Cap costume
- Saw it in 2D, will be seeing it in 3D on opening day to compare
- I rate it as my favourite superhero film, I think it's the best of the Marvel films by some margin.
- Good performances all round. I think Hiddleston as Loki was probably my favourite but there wasn't a clunker among them.
- Whilst it's quite long, the pace is pretty frantic

Your Press pass for next year's LoSCoCo seems a sure thing now.

Sorry was trying to do spoiler text...

Spoiler

A-ha! Cracked it :) Right, will post some light spoilers later for the daring. But won't be posting any major plot points or anything of that ilk as I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

I can't wait.... You lucky son of a.....

Gargoyle

A few random lightly spoilerish thoughts. Remember, whilst I don't consider these to be big spoilers, you might...so highlight at your own risk.

- Black Widow uses her widow's bite stinger things
- I was surprised by how few Marvel easter eggs there were, but that was balanced by how many recurring characters appeared
- Stan's cameo is pretty late in the day
- Hawkeye's robo-quiver is pretty damn cool
- Maria Hill is much less annoying in the film than I found her in the books

I look forward to seeing this movie.

And I look forward to seeing a certain villain on the big screen! (If my pal is to be believed....)

I would have also accepted "I plead the fifth Doctor!"

And I don't even watch Doctor Who!
