Looking forward to GAF consensus, my predictions are:

people who like Iron Man at least and dislike Captain America will like this movie

I can confirm this

Captain America (the character) was cool in The Avengers though

 

[The Elite]

Cap is fast, strong, uses his shield a lot and in inventive ways. Shows he's an expert in hand to hand.

Thor... fucks shit up, flys around liberally, really feels like a demi-god.

Iron Man uses cooler gadgets and better smarts than in either of the movies.

Hulk..... Dude. Hulk smashes.

Hell even Black Widow and Hawkeye do plenty of cool shit that feels relevant to their skillset.

Iron Man using Cap's shield to deflect his energy beam, awesome

OH YEAH!! That was awesome. BTW, i don't know if i can post this here but found it funny, in a "COME ON!!! Already???" way:

 

[shira]

I leave the theater very satisfied and again it shows why Steve/Capt. is my alltime favourite character.

Spoiler

How he handles the leader role and as a very competent strategist and as a simbol of determination without being a super beign like the Hulk or Thor or having the technology of Stark. And of course the whole "Hulk, SMASH" order, got me giggling like a schoolgirl

Spoiler

Why doesn't Tony just give him an Iron Man suit then?

 

[LakeEarth]

There seems to be two types of superhero movies, one taking itself seriously or a complete action/comedy. At least for the Avenger characters, I think the action/comedy route is the way to go. I'd say the Hulk and Captain America ones leaned more to the 'serious' side of things, and they didn't work out to well.

Walter Bishop would be pleased.

He wouldn't know what to do with it. The guy probably couldn't even operate an Iphone.

 

[Nizz]

Just when this movie's finally releasing here in the US, life kicks me in the balls and I won't be able to see it this weekend. Had to buy medical supplies and other stuff. I want to see this movie as soon as I can though.

It's killing me since the impressions have been great so far, sounds like Whedon knocked it out of the park.

Hulk? Really?

Spoiler

After the already mentioned "Hulk, Smash" bit and how Hulk punches Thor out of nowhere and then he beats the shit out of Loki like a ragdoll?

 

[sn00zer]

As much as I like Whedon...Im was really worried how he would do the action scenes, because I dont think any movie/show in his repertoire had a really big action scene...glad to see from reactions that I no longer have to worry

 

[AVclub]

I assume you bought your tickets before hand.

Yup, we all got our tickets as soon as they went on sale a couple of weeks ago. Interestingly enough, as of yesterday, the theater added a second screen at midnight. So the first must have just sold out.

First screening at my theater sold out. They added four more.

How much time passes from when they first meet till the end? I guess too short to learn

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Rewatching Captain America in anticipation. I really liked it the first time but im loving it this time.
right there with Iron Man.

 

[LakeEarth]

Hulk? Really?

I'm talking about the previous movies, not this one.

The audience at my theatre was

Spoiler

in stitches during all of those moments.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Cap is my favourite one. They absolutely nailed his heroic nature and get you rooting for him from the very beginning. That kind of charisma and respect is exactly what Captain America is all about, and they could have failed miserably at portraying it and ruined the film.

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

As much as I like Whedon...Im was really worried how he would do the action scenes, because I dont think any movie/show in his repertoire had a really big action scene...glad to see from reactions that I no longer have to worry

I can assure you, there's a long take at the end that is singlehandedly better than just about any action scene in a comic book movie before, with very few exceptions such as Spider-Man vs. Dr. Octopus.

 

[X05]

You know what happens to a toad that gets struck by lightning?

The same as everything else

Spoiler

except Iron Man

 

[Platy]

I don't think I could live through any sort of movie marathon.

Specialy with free popcorn and coke ... my heart shaked a bit when i read that

 

[Wilbur]

So I will like this movie according to your theory.

I look forward to your review

Fixed, based on what GAF has said so far. (Basing it on their ranking of Marvel movies after their meh reviews)

I will concede

I liked Iron Man the first time I watched it. After that I cared less about it.

I liked the first half of Captain America. The rest was shit.

help me figure this out!

You will like the second half of the Avengers but not the first

Spoiler

this is me

I can confirm this

Captain America (the character) was cool in The Avengers though

Character's cool, actor isn't

 

[noah111]

Is this poster real? Hilarious how small Iron Man is in the background in this version. :lol

Evans would be happy.

 

[Dai101]

^^Nice hotlinking there buddy.

 

[noah111]

Just saw these new Tyler Stout posters, always love when he does these;

 

[SilentProtagonist]

Random observation: I think the dude who played Loki could've made a pretty good Joker if he really put himself into the role. He has a great evil grin.

I think you might be right. He wouldn't be too bad for the role.

 

[noah111]

It's amazing how much of an 'Ultimates' vibe this poster gives off, it almost looks like an exact copy of a pane from the series;

FYI buy one get one free tickets for tomorrow if you have a Visa Signature card. Tickets for a friday show must be purchased on a friday.

 

[SilentProtagonist]

Also, one part I thought was funny

Spoiler

Jet about to take off with a nuke. Sam Jackson: Ohshit, I better shoot a rocket at it to stop it, not like my depth perception is totally fucked anyways. lol small thing but kinda funny.

It would've been hilarious if he had missed. "MOTHA FUCKIN EYE PATCH"

 

[richiek]

Just saw these new Tyler Stout posters, always love when he does these;

Why are there two ScarJo's in that poster?

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

Why are there two ScarJo's in that poster?

Same reason there's two Hulks (and one Banner), two Iron Mans (and one RDJ), two Thors, two Captain Americas and two Hawkeyes I assume.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Latest tracking (for domestic) is that it's outpacing SM3 which opened to 151M. Still everyone keeps saying 150M+ mainly because we'll get a better idea of the weekend numbers when the Friday estimates come in.

I can't wait to see the midnight screening numbers. I doubt it will beat Deathly Hallows' midnight take, but that should set the tone for the rest of the weekend. Thursday midnight aside, The Hunger Games out performed DHII over the rest of the weekend.

 

[DoubleTap]

I've already seen this in twice (2D and 3D) and I'm still hyped about seeing this in the US. I need to see the after credit scene.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Cap is my favourite one. They absolutely nailed his heroic nature and get you rooting for him from the very beginning. That kind of charisma and respect is exactly what Captain America is all about, and they could have failed miserably at portraying it and ruined the film.

That's great to hear. IMO The Avengers as a concept succeeds or fails depending on how the setting and plot are structured around cap.

 

[Tobor]

Why are there two ScarJo's in that poster?

All the main Avengers are in there two or even three times.

 

[WrikaWrek]

So I will like this movie according to your theory.

You are in fact going to like this movie.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

That's great to hear. IMO The Avengers as a concept succeeds or fails depending on how the setting and plot are structured around cap.

Sorry haha, I was talking specifically about the Captain America movie. Duckroll and other people are saying that they did a very good job of fitting Cap into Avengers though, so I don't think we'll be disappointed.

 

[Calion]

Looking forward to GAF consensus, my predictions are:

people who like Iron Man at least and dislike Captain America will like this movie

people who like Captain America will love this movie

people who dislike Iron Man will dislike this movie

people who like Fantastic 4, get the fuck out

But I thought this was Fantastic 6?

 

[LosDaddie]

well fuck me, no real (tm) IMAX showing in Orlando, at all. Just on the LIEMAX screens.

Oh well, I did just purchase my ticket for tomorrow at 10:20pm, though.

 

[artist]

I can't wait to see the midnight screening numbers. I doubt it will beat Deathly Hallows' midnight take, but that should set the tone for the rest of the weekend. Thursday midnight aside, The Hunger Games out performed DHII over the rest of the weekend.

I dont think it has an outside chance of getting close to DH2's midnight numbers.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Sorry haha, I was talking specifically about the Captain America movie. Duckroll and other people are saying that they did a very good job of fitting Cap into Avengers though, so I don't think we'll be disappointed.

Lol, oh well. For what its worth I agree with your comments as they are applied to the Cap movie.

Booyah! It's always nice to get a mention.

 

[Good Job Bob]

2 more days before I see this.

Better start taking the antidepressants now.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

was gonna just see the regular version, but there is no way Im going to see this not on a IMAX screen....so 3D it is.

 

[Zzoram]

I'm seeing it tomorrow at 320pm EST in 2D

They only added the 2D screenings yesterday when I was just about to get the 3D tickets.

 

[3N16MA]

2 more days before I see this.

Better start taking the antidepressants now.

You will love it but report back that you hate it.

 

[lazybones18]

6 more hours....and in 2D!

so nice

 

[victreeb3l]

how is the 3d in this movie? i heard it was added in later so im a bit worried. is it worth seeing it on imax?

 

[S1kkZ]

how is the 3d in this movie? i heard it was added in later so im a bit worried. is it worth seeing it on imax?

its ok. some nice 3d during the finale but its never bad or distracting.
