Hey, that was my joke the other day!
But accurate. I did forget about Spidey as well. Spidey is the "Dont know what to expect-vee."

Right now I'm just hoping it's not a pile of shit. Spider-man is my second favorite superhero, after Batman of course. I like Garfield, but still don't know about this movie.
"Ho-Humvee"
International loves huge spectacle epic movies.
The Avengers seems to be much more of a huge epic spectacle than any of the Marvel movies before it. That plus a huge roster of now familiar characters is an easy sell.

I suppose that makes Ghost Rider 2 a french fry that fell on the floor.

with any luck Man of Steel will be a bowl of rocks and not a vat of acid
Ghost Rider was a gross, undercooked hamburger that your disgruntled waiter spit in for no reason.
Oh man, every impression of this movie is making me giddy. I'm a HUGE Hulk fanatic so I'm loving the positive impressions of his character. If they make a 3rd Hulk movie, I hope they can do the character right. Hint to Hollywood executives - silent, brooding Hulk and emo Banner won't sell a 2 hour movie. Someone get Peter David to help on the next script.
Still a week away....*sigh*

Is this the sequel to Harry Knowles's Blade 2 review?

i read this wrong and i cracked up
Fake as fuck but goddammit if I wouldn't die for that.
Anyway, found an HD version of the IMAX-exclusive art I posted earlier, this'll make a really great wallpaper (click for huge [6400x2553] version);
Oh and I thought this was lovely;
Yeah, a few pages back. Wish there were HD versions of these though, i'd love it as a wallpaper for my iPhone.

Saw this at BN today while I was out:
Might have to grab that. They had Cap and Thor, but Hulk looks too happy about smashing.

Got a bunch of these for free (different characters) after my sister went to a vendor meeting.

I wish film distributors would be more in-sync when it comes to release dates all around the world. It's very annoying not being able to talk much about the movie since most people haven't seen it yet or in reverse, like Cabin In The Woods, not being able to talk about it with others because your country doesn't get it until 4 months after it's been screened in other countries. Meanwhile, spoilers are running rampant all over the internet and it's very hard to avoid them.

The universe would not be able to contain the amount of smashing that would be involved in that film. Brains would explode from the awesomeness on screen.
Hulk plus anyone who can handle getting knocked around a bit by him can be really great if they give Hulk the EMH personality.

It would be a five second movie. Chris Tucker starts to speak, then Hulk smashes him into jelly. The end.
MOVIE OF THE FOREVER!

The Chris tucker from the 5th element? We in there! Says the Hulk.
saw it last night.
Movie is a solid 9/10 for me. Iron man is clearly the funny guy of the bunch cracking jokes and taking nothing serious.
Captain america is the actual serious guy, who would do anything to serve his country.
Thor is there because his bro is an asshole.
Black widow and hawkeye were decent, expected them to be more useless. But it was okay.
AND THEN
THE MODAFOKING HULK!!! I felt like everyone was waiting till he came in the picture. And when he did, it was marvelous! Everyone laughed at those 2 hulk scenes. If you've seen the movie, you'll know which one I'm talking about.
.
Very fun and good action movie. Though I felt like the extra scene after the credits was useless for people who know nothing about the comics. I had to google it to know what it was, should've made it a bit more clear by actually
.
So all in all, Hulk > Iron man > rest. Gwyneth is a MILF and scarlett has a nice ass.

giving a name for the bad guy they show

I disagree, keeping it unclear adds all the more mystery and intrigue to what the future films will hold..

This is one of the few blockbuster movies and probably the only superhero movie that left me yearning for more once it ended. The chemistry of the cast and the clashes of egos made it insanely fun to watch. There's really nothing like it when it comes to superhero films.
I'll definitely be seeing it a second time.

With your seal of approval, I'm especially looking forward to this now. Can't wait!

Hope you enjoy it as much as i did!
Regarding the post credit scene:
Did they cut some of the scene, because I recall that the discription of one of the screenings was different in that the invasion was succesfull in part because the chitauri dilivered the infinity gauntlet to Thanos.

Cool movie and 3d looked cool for once, especially during action scenes.
They could have easily cut 30 minutes of it though. All that chatter
was way too long.

For people who don't know. Neil Cumpston is a character made up by comedian Patton Oswalt. His real opinion based on what he's been saying on twitter and Comedy Bang Bang is also very positive.

Seen it last night at a staff only showing. Was everything I hope for an more. Seeing it again tonight as well.
Hulk needs his own movie now. Big time.

2 things:
"I'm bringing the party to you guys" + watch movie / trailer to understand.
God damn you, GAF. I was keeping modest expectations for the movie but with all these glowing impressions you're hyping me up.
For people who have seen Avengers, does it beat out the previous Marvel entries?
For shits and giggles I probably put them:
Iron Man > Thor = Captain America > Iron Man 2
Where do you guys place Avengers?

I'd say it's better than any of those. Mostly because I was never really impressed with the action scenes in any other Marvel films but in this one the action scenes delivered big time. Also, the casts just blend so well together and while there have been cameos of some characters in the other films, it never clicked so well like it was in this film.
But the individual films serve their purpose for deeper individual character's motivations and stories, which obviously can't be covered as in-depth in films like this.
