this movie actually made me do something I thought impossible.

It made me kinda like Scarlett Johansen. I thought she was very very pretty.

She's 10 times better than that dope whos the new catwoman
 

Hawkian

The Cryptarch's Bane
Mark Ruffalo smirking in a plain calm tone of voice explaining he is always angry, turning into the hulk on command and than taking orders from captain america and comprehending what people are saying to him.....what is going on? Okay lets go kill black widow during one scene, than later on completely take sides and control your commands.

Nice black sabbath thermal Robert Downey Jr.

Captain America you are played by Jake Wyler from Not Another Teen Movie. End of discussion. Quit acting. You suck. I cannot and will not ever take you serious. Your lines were terrible. Your a face with a build, that is all.

Black Widow, your purpose is........?

Does anyone even get close to injured on The Avengers squad? What a terrible villain and plot. I cannot believe this has a 93% on RT. RT has become a complete joke.

This movie sucked hardcore guys. It was just to simple. 12 people tops have actual lines in the movie.

Robin from How I Met Your Mother was looking soooo sexy though.

I don't know anything else about you but the first bolded struck me as hilarious as a gauge of the "complexity" of a movie. Have you ever seen 12 Angry Men?

Also I agree wholeheatedly with the second bold. :D

I find the remainder of what you have to say flaccid and tawdry.

It took me one whole second, an entire second to realize that a voluntary transformation would result in Banner having more control over his actions when Hulking out.

This is what they intended, accept it or not.

Or it's just lazy writing.

Hulk was about to kill an ally on a flying boat. Now he is taking orders, he is the hulk. Is there really an argument here?

- She brings in Banner to join the cause
- She tricks Loki into revealing his plan to unleash Hulk.
- She beats up Hawkeye so he can be captured and brought to his senses.
- Flies the Quinjet and fights alongside Cap and Hawkeye on the ground
- Closes the damn portal, which was like, the whole point of the final battle.

Widow more than pulled her weight.

I saw a bunch of your older links but not to this specific piece.

I posted links to it at least twice, with images both times.

Not sure if you noticed but this thread moves a dozen pages a day so it's kind of hard to keep up on every link.

Bah, if I can keep up despite a busy work schedule, anyone can. ;P

EDIT: Looking back at when I first posted it, you replied to the thread right after 2 posts later. So you are just ignoring me, ha! ;)

Uncontrolled transformation due to external triggers - uncontrolled Hulk.

Controlled transformation by Banner - controlled Hulk.

Not too hard, and was alluded to the whole movie.

This is why batman/spiderman stand alone at the tippy top of the mountain in my opinion. Your right, I guess I just cannot accept it. I think it is stupid.

So when he first transformed, he should have said in Hulk voice "Oh hey Black Widow, you're in a bind, let me lift that pipe for you".

Just not spelled out explicitly, and moreso than all of the people who came into this thread politely wondering if they'd missed something about it, the indignation of the Knicks makes me glad that they didn't.

I've mentioned this a few times, but Stark figures this out about Banner within minutes of meeting him. The fact that they never have a line of dialogue being like "lol, but I can totally control it if I choose to transform myself" serves to underscore the connection between Banner and Stark that pays off when Tony is the only one that realizes and expects Banner will show up in the final battle.

I think it is stupid.
Well I think this...

...is just dynamite! What exactly do you think Rottentomatoes does? Do you have any other examples of how it's a complete joke, just to get me through to lunchtime?

D'oh! I must've thought it was a completely different article, because it's been updated tremendously with a shitton of new stuff in there. :lol

Also, anyone know where there's an 1080 version of the ending credits? That'd make an awesome screen saver.

No, but it was stupid to make him attempt to kill her during one scene, and next thing you know they are fighting side by side.

And than how they have Loki getting disowned by the hulk was ridiculous. Thats what I call lazy. Out of the blue hulk just comes breaking into starks building and destroy him. It couldn't have been more random and simple. Just like that.......What a way to have the main villain fall from power.....really....

So you dont understand Conrolled Hulk vs Uncontrolled Hulk and Loki is weak sauce.

Tell him to suit up.

Right, so he should have just tried to kill everyone and not have him in the Avengers. You know, he's been fought by the Avengers several times in the comic books. In this movie, it was made pretty clear without just out right stating it that when he transforms himself, he gains control. I mean, I can't imagine it being any clearer without just outright saying it, which IMO would have been weaker.

RT just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about movie culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it.

This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but RT has alienated an entire market with this movie.

RT, publicly apologize and cancel Avengers or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Translated.

You're just not accepting basic facts

I didn't know the Hulk was a slave owner

Hulk was smashing around, doing what he does best. It really wasn't random, but it was simple, but just because something is simple, doesn't mean it is bad. Hulks beatdown of Loki was incredibly simple and that's why it works.

I'd argue that Loki's effectiveness as a villain is exactly what makes that asswhooping so awesome. It was cathartic.

I don't know how much longer they could have ominously zoomed in on the staff with the ability to control people while everyone was at each other's necks without being totally in your face about Loki's manipulation. Along with that we're shown Banner is drawn to the staff without realizing it when he's suddenly shown subconsciously grasping it. Not everything should be spelled out crystal clear.

And you are entitled to your opinion. Just realize that most of the world disagrees with you and actually loves the movie.

Maybe you just didn't understand it?

Extremis > Bleeding-Edge in terms of movie believability and bad-ass-ness.

Holding parts in of your bones? Crossing the line. Just standing there while various pieces of armor magnetize together on your body? BAD. ASS.

That shit would look beautiful on the silver screen, and would make for great action scenes where Tony is pinned down, stripped of armor and quickly materializes only the gauntlet bit to get him out of a sticky situation.

It would be cool if he held up his hand to the sky and lightning came down and hit his bracelet (like the one he had when thrown out the building by Loki) and the armor starts forming around his body, piece by piece.

Thank you... so this is a GAF original? Wow

One of Gaming side's greatest moments in revealing the absurdity of fanboyishness.

I just thought it was one of the most hilariously bad things to ever read. Since then, it's cropped up in a few places but nothing beats the original.

Well Thor being less destructible than the tree helps with the explosion.

Seeing that GIF looped made me realize that that's a 100% CG Thor. Neat.
