Saw the movie this morning at the first showing, only $5 to boot! WOOHOO!!
Great movie with lots of fan service. One thing bothers me though:
How come at no point did Cap yell "AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!". My geek meter would have went off the chart!
 
Do people NOT cheer at trailers in other countries? I mean midnight showings are usually full of nerds here, and there is definitely loudness when another nerdy movie has a trailer.

apparently not in my country, no. I've never been in a crowded theater during a midnight release though.
 
Same. Just an outstanding group, my favorite night at the movies ever.

edit: I did, like many here, miss out on
PUNY GOD
as a result of mass cheering and hollering (actually continued for several seconds after that as well, and I was right there with them. What a satisfying damn moment that was).

I just barely caught that. The audience I was with was cheering pretty loudly too. And this was at a 12:40 in the afternoon screening.

Okay, favorite Moment of Awesome, GO!

Iron Man reflecting a repulsor cross-beam off of Cap's shield. So unnecessarily bad. ass.

The long tracking shot where we see every one of the Avengers fighting.
 
Jokes during trailers provide levity while everyone is waiting for the movie to start. Why would you tell someone to shut up?
We had three intense trailers in a row with DKR and spiderman and then they threw in Frankenweenie, and when the Disney logo came up some guy was like "FUCK YEAH DISNEY" obviously in jest and we all laughed, nobody cared about that trailer so why not do it.
I'm just telling how it's over here and, it seems, outside of America in general. People pay to see the movie, not some guys wanting to be lol so funny.

People trying to make funny remarks during trailers, or even the movie, would get nothing but annoyed looks and hush.

I don't know, it just seemed weird to me that it was so widespread. A bunch of people booing at a trailer is something I cannot really imagine.
 
Hahaha I'm throwing out mad bro fists in this mutha fluffa!

Just came to my mind that
that waitress that says to the news "capt. america saved me"
gets a little too much focus don't you think? I need a directors cut version ASAP!!!

Hawkeye shooting the arrow at Loki, who catches it - only for it to blow up in his face. Hawkeye's look afterwards was all that needed to be said.

Can you imagine a standing ovation at the end of a movie after the credits roll?

It blew my mind the first time I saw it happen. I wasn't sure who exactly was supposed to appreciate this applause.

Pretty sure she is the same actress playing the main girl in The Last of Us.


BTW, seems some of us are getting a little off topic. Apologies. When and who wants make an Expendables 2 OT??

If someone did it in the middle of the movie it would be annoying. You're talking about the fucking trailers. Who cares. It adds to the social experience, which is a major factor to go to a movie, especially a midnight release, in the first place.
 
Shwarma and other halal foods are very popular in New York right now. They're everywhere. Pretty much replaced the old hot dog stands.

I felt reallly dumb when it was brought up. I felt like I should have known what it was but I had never heard the word before.
 
The definitive list, people.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. But it is my list. S-M2 and BB are interchangeable depending on my mood. The whole point of that list was really to show that I think Avengers is now in the conversation.

I never expected this.

"Solo's been compromised."

Solo loved it? We're through the looking glass here, people.

:lol :lol :lol :lol

I knew you'd end up loving it. ;)

Welcome back into the fold, Solo! We've missed you. :D

I feel like I just made the team!

Whatever, that was barely even the fight. We all know who we're looking towards for shock enjoyment!

Who is that?

You have to wait a year til after too many people like it, then he changes his order.

See: Solo's Begins and TDK impressions.

Sorry, DM. My thoughts on The Avengers will stay as high as they are right now. Nolan is the only filmmaker whose work gets substantially better (Prestige, BB) or worse (TDK, Inception) each time I see it. But I will agree with you about whatever I say about TDKR in July - a year from then I'll probably be singing a different tune.
 
That was awesome :D


Was that
Thanos?

Yup. He definitely was.

You guys, this is going to sound so bad, but i really REALLY want ASD to flop so bad thay can't fund any other Spiderman movie so the rigths get back to MAHVEL. I need to see this in the big screen ...

You know, I was as big of a skeptic of this project as anyone else, but after seeing it succeed as well as it did.......once Nolan is done with his Batman movies this summer, I would now be interested in seeing WB do a Justice League movie.

Not even O-face Wolvie grins that wide. But yeah, having
Spidey, Surfer, X-Men, etc.
for the teased sequel would be cra'.

Same :X

Not happening though.
 
Also, I have figured out the Marvel Studios pattern! Released in May (Iron Man, Thor, The Avengers)? It will be awesome. Released anytime else (The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Captain America)? It will be crap.

Therefore I can tell you with absolute certainty that Iron Man 3 will be awesome while Thor 2 will stink. It's a highly scientific method.
 
On the Battlefield trailer, our jeers were:

"NO ONE wants to see that!"
"You sunk my enthusiasm!"

I yelled the second one

Iron Man 2 came out in May, though...
