So I just saw the movie today (3D version)
Very kick ass, loved the action, loved the humor.

True. Wonder if she expected this movie to surge her career, like it hopefully should? Or at least that she'd be making big money down the line with sequels? Either way, I like the Black Widow we got.
No, she DROPPED her Marvel contract FOR Gulliver. Because it was not a good contract. That's why it was surprising as hell when ScarJo agreed to it.
third viewing
6:30 on a Friday of second weekend
much smaller theater (8 plex)
STILL COULD NOT HEAR "PUNY GOD" OVER CHEERS AND LAUGHTER
i am destined to not hear that line until I'm listening to it in dead silence.
expect big numbers this weekend, people.

In retrospect, all the trailers straight up suck. Really wish the Hulk catch hadn't been spoiled.
I thought the same thing, but then my friend pointed out the bet, which I completely missed, and I realized that they'd seen each other plenty of times before, and I felt dumb.

Me too, except I didn't catch it until my second viewing. I was like "Why was he tipping him? I get the joke but Cap knows who he is..." then on the 2nd view I caught the $10 bet line and was like "OH WOW"
But taking the "He's adopted" joke to mean adopted kids are evil is the dumbest fucking thing. Really? REALLY?

I was surprised at how many older people were seeing this.A lot of women too.

Ahh, so thats what he says
Hugely mixed crowd at mine. 10+ old (you know, grey-haired) couples, a TON of kids, including some that were WAY too small and annoyed the shit out of me during much of the movie (I'm talking 3 and 4 years old). About equal proportions of white, hispanic, and african-american audience members. The 6-10 year old kids were going nuts, though I noticed a lot of mixing up characters when out of costume
Ahahah that bet is like 3 minutes earlier.
And the adopted thing. Holy shit. I don't even. I would have thought any idiot would get that Thor's point was that he wasn't related to Thor, as he just called him his brother, then Widow mentioned he murdered a bunch of people...
But the logic is like...
"HE'S MY BROTHER"
"HE KILLED A BUNCH OF PEOPLE"
"HE'S ADOPTED"
ergo adopted people kill people! just brilliant. extraordinary.
Mar-vell or Marvel sounds like marble?
Because the local news station just reviewed the movie and said Mar-vell, first time I'd ever heard it pronounced that way.
And I guess I'll check this out tomorrow at the early bird showing, so much cheaper than going on a Saturday night.

Marvel like marvelous. The reviewer probably thinks chaos is pronounced chows

Just got back from the theater......I kind of can't believe people were comparing this to TDK. Not even remotely close. Not even close to BB.
Extremely cheesy writing/melodrama, zero sense of urgency or danger, terrible terrible terrible villain (I was seriously waiting for Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa to come out of that portal), tons of mindless action, etc. Had Hulk not turned out the way he did, I would have walked out.

Yeah, I have NO idea how I missed that the first time, and I wasn't the only one in my group that missed it either. There's not even a joke there to hide the line via laughter, I just straight up missed it. So stupid hahaha

Every real man knows that Batman Begins is considerably better than The Dark Knight. Now how am I supposed to take your opinion seriously.
On a less facetious note:
I think anyone who's expecting the next batman to be anything like the dark knight, will be sorely disappointed.
WB said they wanted their superheroes grimdark, but I expect things have changed.

schwarma and tangerines the size of large oranges.
The kind that would make me rub another man's rhubarb
True. People should compare it to The Dark Knight Rises.

Probably the same kind of person that would describe the Watchmen as an "action packed thrill ride."
lol WHY did it take this post for me to recognize the Assassin glyph on the doc there

Is their no way I can get Watchmen on my iPad? I really want to read it but it's not available on Comixology.
Action-packed!
Dammit. Now my cover's blown.
holy shit what a gif. hyped

Is that actual in game footage? That looks crazy.
It absolutely is. I'd recognize the engine anywhere. But the transition from free-running indoors to jumping out a window is kind of unprecedented....

They've got the motion comic on iTunes, but that's about it.
I felt the exact same way, but I still loved the movie. I couldn't shake the feeling that the chitauri leader was a Power Rangers villain.

I definitely don't think this is on par with either Batman films or the first two Spiderman movies but still I had a lot of fun.
lol @ bolded. This movie did for sure have a cheesy power rangers vibe. Especially with the opening scene in space.
Just came back it was FUCKING AWESOME!!
Hulk was the star of the movie, everything he did. As soon as Cap says `Hulk, smash!`
I started giggling and when he beats up Loki like a ragdoll and punches Thor straight out of a Disney cartoon was hilarious!
AND THIS MOTHERFUCKER RIGHT HERE! Oh man I can`t wait for who they bring into the sequel.
