Also, on another note:
Was this any higher definition than 1080p? I was in the second to back row in my theater and it was crystal clear. Definitely the best looking movie I've ever seen. I couldn't believe the clarity - blew away any and all of my blu-rays.

If Marvel does go about adding new characters, I am hoping Nick Fury and SHIELD end up taking the backseat for a sequel. I don't think there is a need for them to help the Avengers get together if Marvel continues with the side stories in the solo flicks. I'd rather much see new characters rather than Samuel L Jackson eating more screen time since I don't believe Marvel is going to flesh out the character all that much.

Depends on the theater's projector. I think the movie was shot with the RED cameras though. But for projection my local theater is only 2K and it looked phenomenal. There are some theaters with Sony 4K projectors. That would look nuts.

Digital Projection.
It was. And they also reference the Harlem fight from that one.

Id say it more depends on how well Ant-man does.
Doctor Strange - Magician. That's easier than explaining how a tiny man can help.

Most digital projectors out there these days are at least 2k.
I just started reading secret avengers. He's ok.

I'm happy for Chris Evans and Ruffalo. Ruffalo seems like such a nice guy in interviews and Chris seemed a little down Cap doesn't have powers in contrast, but they've just starred in one of the most successful movies of all time as leading roles.
Definitely. It was a great moment too. They cut the scene because it was too graphic, but having Ruffalo talk about it and see the other characters reactions was excellent.

Yay, unmarked spoilers.
Came to the thread for this. Thread delivered.
My only regret was the timing in which I ended up going to a food truck event before seeing the movie, resulting in a necessary 5 minute bathroom break in the middle. Clearly, I just have to go see the movie again.

Can you tell me more about this scene from IH? I haven't heard of it before

Best Hank Pym I could find so far =/
Shiiiiiit. Nice.
If you saw "The Avengers" then you heard Banner describe it. He goes off by himself and puts a gun in his mouth. He pulls the trigger. The "other guy" spits the bullet out.
It's a great scene, but Marvel couldn't show one of their heros with a gun in his mouth. Too graphic. In dialogue form, however, it works and get's the point across.
I am sure you know, but I hope you realize he can grow to epic proportions in size.
While not nearly as strong as Hulk and Thor, his dynamic to the team would be a feat to pull off on the big screen. It will be tricky, but I also think Doctor Strange will be hard to pull off, too. He'll probably need a change in wardrobe, his powers are a contrast to what the team already has going (this is a good thing), and his villains are on par with Ghost Rider's meaning they aren't as relatable.
In any case, I am excited nonetheless for whatever Marvel decides to do with their next new character they plan to introduce, whether it be in the solo films, having their own solo film, or debuting in Avengers 2.
iirc it's an adamantium / vibranium composite

That pic makes it look like Cap is throwing Thor.

If Marvel could pull it off, I'd love to see Namor added in so we have the three popular superhero archetypes (science, magic, and mutant) covered. Namor would be even more difficult than Ant-Man and Doctor Strange.
Most of the team of the Avengers is compromised of non-powered or science-originated powers. I suppose Thor is magic related, but the team could do well with adding in a mutant or another magic user to mix it up.

Uh, yes. What the fuck was so good about Heath as the Joker? I really don't get any of the admiration towards how he played him.

fear itself should not count...especially since nothing happened , what a waste of an event. Comics are guilty of doing shit like this though, next someone will break adamantium or bend wolverines claws. If superman isnt safe no one is.

I've been thinking an Ant-Man film could work as a take on Die Hard. Have Pym be a scientist developing the pym particle stuff and the ant man suit in his lab with Jan as his assistant, then the facility is taken over by terrorists, so Pym and Jan jury rig Pym's lab experiments together into gadgets and suits in order to save everyone in the building, stop the terrorists and escape.
I feel like that really shows off the strong suits of Ant-Man, being a scientist who works through problems with clever tactics and invention rather than super powers and force.

I REALLY hope Joss Whedon got some kind of royalty contract so he can fund the making of Firefly Season 2 himself on Netflix.

I saw it on a 4K digital and it was awesome. 2D. I may got see it in IMAX 3D tonight, just for the full experience (and all my money)

there are more countrys than the US. batmans appeal WW is or was just 'good'.
-Incredible acting performance
-He modernized/humanized the character
-Played against the audience's expectations of traditional villains
-Allowed us to explore another aspect of Bruce Wayne's character
-Great lines/funny
-Pretty much solely responsible for driving the movie's pace
I could go on, but the bottom line is that Heath's Joker is all at once scary and iconic, human and comic book.

-He modernized/humanized the character Modernized? As in boring?
-Played against the audience's expectations of traditional villains How is this reflected through his performance?
-Allowed us to explore another aspect of Bruce Wayne's characterThis is what was written into the script, wasn't expressed by his performance
-Great lines/funnyHardly.
-Pretty much solely responsible for driving the movie's paceThe movie had a pace?

That would actually be the perfect showcase for Ant-Man.

What is so great about this thing everyone else likes? I don't understand why everyone else likes it. Tell me why this thing everyone likes is so great so I can be indifferent to all of your reasons for liking it.
Also, GODDAM @ 200 mil. The movie deserves every cent.

What you left out already answers you:
-Incredible acting performance
Written character or not (he brought a lot to the character according to set stories), he delivered it amazingly.
If someone could have matched his performances or beaten it even, we won't know. What we do know, is that Ledger was great as Joker.
:lol Why did you bother? Look at his response. This guy was trolling for attention.

Lol @ the just trying to be different comment. I genuinely don't understand why people adore that performance so much. It was so god damn bland and boring. But that's just my opinion. It doesn't affect me either way, glad to see there's a defense force for it though, pathetic really.

Can you really call it a "defense force" when you're in the minority? I need to update my references for overused internet slang, I suppose.
Yeah, don't make us cite industry experts like S&S or whatever.
This is crazy to look at after 10 days.
