My favorite shot has to the where the camera continuously tracks each Avenger as they're kicking ass. I nearly lost my shit when that happened. And the one liners were AMAZING.
Oh God if I could only marry a movie...

did they use the body suits like they did for Golem in LoTR and the natives in Avatar?
No. No, he isn't.
I love me some Thor, but nope.
I really have no idea. I didn't follow the production at all. Xia, who works at ILM and posts here often, will be able to tell you that.
I thought Whedon did an amazing job making sure the ensemble was working together effortlessly as they were trying to kick ass. Little things like
Iron Man shooting off of Cap's shield, and Thor and Hulk taking down that giant flying beast. They even made Hawkeye somewhat useful.

Hulk Vs. Is probably the only decent thing they have done. With Hulk Vs. Wolverine being my favorite of the two features(the other being Hulk Vs.Thor.)

I want to see Brad Bird do a live action superhero movie.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
We've only done the Iron Man films and the first Hulk before this. Wasn't involved with the others.
Hydraulx and Digital Domain also contributed, along with a bunch of smaller contributions from smaller effects houses.
Ruffalo had the equivalent ILM setup as those, which were used for Davy Jones from the Pirates films and...well, Iron Man in his films heh.
This thread has TDKR spoilers now?

I'd love to see Marvel get F4 back since I doubt Fox could ever nail Doom...
Holy shit this also. I really liked Hiddleson in Thor but he was on an entirely different level here. Loved his performance.
He already did one called Mission Impossible 4.
Xia said:
Oops, my bad. For some reason I thought ILM was kind of exclusively tied up with MS.
Pretty much. They needed an alien race that wasn't part of the realms, but at the same time didn't want something as complex as being able to shape shift.
I can't think of any other known alien army that isn't related to the realms (i.e. truly ET) that they could've used. I would love for them to eventually introduce genuine 616 Skrulls, though.

If your talk about the movie yes Hulk was awesome but Thor

oh, who did the shit with Loki's staff? the effects on the jewel in it and the discharge?
that shit was ill.
The movie established that Thor
can be killed by conventional means, or at least hurt. Ie, Loki stabbing him in the abdomen.
he tried killing himself using a gun to his head and the other guy just spat it out.
Also, Loki pretty much said
that "people think we are invincible, but lets put that theory to test" as he ejected Thor inside Hulk's prison cell. Thor had to escape that cell to survive, where as the Hulk fell from the same height and survived without a scratch.
Thor versus Hulk fight where Thor was made to bleed.
I went it not expecting much, came out absolutely loving it. The team interaction was so amazing, Whedon went above and beyond to nail it perfectly.
I was also crazy impressed with how everyone got badass stuff to do. Hawkeye probably had the most badass moments in the movie after Hulk. Some of the stuff he did, especially when he was
was insane.
And man Hulk absolutely stole the movie. His
got the craziest reactions I've ever heard in a movie theater. I thought the guy in front of me was going to have a seizure from freaking out.

Still my point was that Iron Man is not in same class as Thor power wise if we talking about the Movie.
Are you talking about the comics or Movie .
Thor is a God , in the comics he is thousands of times stronger than Captain America and that's not even talking about his other powers.
Thor looked like he was doing okay fighting the Hulk before he called for the hammer.
I think the movie had multiple scenes and statements that imply Hulk was meant to be seen as the stronger one between him and Thor.
Regardless, Thor has been portrayed as far weaker than his comic self in the movies, but it makes sense since the movies wouldn't be very long otherwise.

i think its pretty clear that hulk is the strongest, everybody fears him. it's:
1. hulk
2. thor
3. iron man
large gap
4. cap
5. black widow
6. hawkeye
1. hulk
2. thor

No, I'm referring to
Death itself. In the Marvel Universe, Death is embodied as a female, and Thanos tries to win her "heart" by killing half the beings in the universe. He's one sick puppy. I can't wait to see what she looks like in Avengers 2.

Thos in the comics even said he knew he can't beat hulk, not that old of an issue. maybe from 2011 cant remember which one though.
BTW Saw it today and it fucking rocks!

I think at Hulk's base level Thor is the stronger of the two but if Hulk gets angry enough Thor (as is anyone who comes up against the Hulk) is fucked.
Just came from watching it in IMAX 3D with a friend, and hot damn I was blown away.
For the record, I only thought that the collective of Marvel movies were "alright", with Iron Man being the top, and Captain America, whose suit and the setting of the movie was such a huge turnoff for me that I only watched it a few weeks ago in anticipation for The Avengers is at the bottom - but damn, the action, humor, and interaction in this movie was dead-on.
Even Cap's suit with its little changes look so much better on big screen too.
I was thinking how the "regular" heroes like Hawkeye or Black Widow, or even Captain America in a way would be pulled off against a god and his outer-space army, but they nailed it proper.
The jokes were on point to where they didn't seem cheesy, they were genuinely funny, and every character had at least one point where they stole the scene, of course, some more than others, but at least everyone had one great moment to shine.
Dr. Banner was on-point too, with his finicky ways, sorry Ed Norton.
Tony Stark/Iron Man stole the movie - right after him, The Hulk. They made Hulk look like a BEAST in this movie, damn. Really the Incredible Hulk. Fucking shit up like a BOSS.
Not only do I want to see this movie again, but somehow, the movie made me want to pick up Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and get back into the game again after skipping out on it because of Capcom's shadiness - I'd only do it once I'd find a way to trade MvC3 for UMvC3 without paying a cent though.

Really they should just do a combo Iron Man/Hulk movie where Banner and Stark are bros just hanging out doing bro things while blowing shit up.
Where's my Defenders movie?
Won't happen because Fox has the rights to Silver Surfer.

That and
And when she was urging Banner to calm down before he transformed in the Helicarrier were two of my favorite parts of the movie.

Saw it earlier to today, very impressive balance in using all the characters, and Whedon's humor really gave the movie a different feel, but the crowd realllly loved it.
Some thoughts:
- The team dynamic worked fine, and I'm happy with the split between action / dialogue
- Mark Ruffalo was ok, admirable even, but I'd be lying if I said I don't miss Norton
- Action was largely great, but it can get annoying when the camera zooms in a little too close
- The nods to the fans were fun
Overall, excellent popcorn entertainment, and nicely sets up follow up movies.
So much this all over my face. Very well put.
I'd watch that,
and they even go in that direction easily since they both split together at the end, and clicked on the airship already.
Oh, and that little thing at the end of the action finale as well too.

Man Cap's first suit was much better. In Captain America 2 they should just use that with the Avengers suit's gloves and boots.
Just got back from seeing this.
Holy shitballs was this movie awesome.
The only negative thing I've got to say is the forced 3d but I think that's just the theater being dicks since they're the only one in town.
The whole theater roared at the smashdown Hulk gave
