You don't think the film was slow to start up?
I imagine if the new Spidey costume was in a Marvel Studios production they'd all be going nuts about how great and fresh it looks.
You think I'm a Nolan/Batman fanboy?
Because we totes did the exact same thing with Cap's new costume

I honestly don't mind the new Spider-Man suit. There's a couple design decisions I'm not super fond of, but it's otherwise fine. I like Caps' new costume too.
Superman's is the only one I cannot deal with.

I wasn't too fond of the new SM suit at first, but it grew on me and now i'm more or less used to it. I think most people will feel the same about Supermans new design. I like it for the most part, though. Definitely better than before.
I do, just something i've noticed with your avatar is all.

Superman's new suit is superb.
Speedymanic's avatar captures that even better than mine.I do, just something i've noticed with your avatar is all.
I was referring to the ones who religiously post in this thread but that works as well.

Their isn't dumb stuff posted by Avengers guys as well? Hell, the reason he posted that was because some guy wrote a terrible article about how TDKR sucks because it isn't as "optimistic" and cheery as Avengers.

Wait, people are defending Cap's suit from TA? 
It was bad. This isn't even up for discussion, it was just bad. They should have kept the amaze suit from TFA. Absolutely no reason to change it to the shitfest it was in TA.

Should be up on amazon already.
The purest bullshit troll argument. You like the suit, fine, but don't tell anyone else why they don't like something.
This I agree with you on. The last time someone wanted to make Batman more brightful and cherry we got rubber nipples, the Batcard, zippers on the backside of the Batsuit, and mentally challenged Bane.

So is this movie going to be beat Harry Potter Part 2 for 3rd on the highest grossing films ever? Any chance?
It will. There's little doubt to that.
I don't know if I'd call it "unacceptable" as I accepted it and enjoyed the movie, but the opening sequence was pretty dull. The stuff with the car chases, and Loki and Colby Smolders was a chore to watch.
Still, The movie was great. Not sure that counts as "unacceptable"

CA's suit in this film was horrendous. Spidey's and Supe's new suits look much better.

Superhero costumes look ridiculous in superhero comic books as well. They're not supposed to look realistic or blend in with what people normally wear in every day life.

OTOH, people wanting to make a more bright and cheery Batman also gave us this:

Cap's TA suit sucks. Superman's new suit sucks worse. Spidey's suit, don't care. Hope it bombs so Marvel gets Spidey back.

i dont think it matters if it bombs does it? i thought that they just have to keep making movies to keep licensing?
Yeah but If the movies bomb it would just hurt Sonys already terrible financial condition more. Sony owuld be forced to sell off its studios thus the rights to the IP reverting back.
Its all a pipe dream anyway.

He's probably thinking more along the lines that if it bombs Sony will no longer see any value in the brand and sell it to Marvel.
Of course a Spidey movie is never in a million years going to bomb.

Yes it matters, Sony pictures is in trouble financially. If the movie bombs there is a chance they will sell back the rights since it will imply they cannot make as much money off of it.
Small chance but hey, I want my continuity.

And some people thought the Avengers would be lucky to do 300 million....
Captain America's outfit looked great...when he lost the cowl/helmet. They should have stuck with a design more like his solo movie.
As for Spider-Man's new outfit, I'm actually fine with it aside from the yellow eyes.
And the only problem I have with Superman's suit is in the shots I've seen of it the colors are really muted, but aside from that it's pretty cool. And Nolan's Dark Knight Batman suit is probably my favorite one out of all the Batman movies.

Was I the only person who liked the intro? I thought it did a good job of establishing some very important plot points. 1) Loki is a back and stronger than ever. 2) Shield is full of awesome people, but they cannot handle Loki (seriously, I really appreciated how when Loki showed up, there were lots and lots of well placed shots right to Loki's chest).
The movie kind of needs this to answer the questions, why the Avengers? Why can't SHIELD handle this on its own, or just Thor?
It certainly could have been more economic, and isn't anywhere near the brilliance of TDK's intro, for example, but I thought it was well done and enjoyable.

I'm not so sure, there doesn't appear to be much hype for it and will people really want to see an origins story yet again?
I think it will be a small success, but will ultimately be looked at as failing to reach expectations.

I saw this pic and said he looks like someone I had seen in another film. It finally hit me!

Saw this on the weekend and really enjoyed it. I've skimmed the thread (sorry, 279 pages is too much to read entirely) and, yes, I'm in the mass that thinks the Hulk bits are some of the best moments in the movie (Ruffalo is very good, too). Stark/Iron Man is good, too.
I think the dialogue is toned down from what I'd generally expect from Joss Whedon (note: I have no issues with him in general), which is probably a good thing for this movie.
A few things: I'm not sure there's much explanation of the Hulk being in control... seems pretty clear that it's all about how/why he transforms, but I don't recall in the recent Hulk movie (or from any of Ruffalo's dialogue) that he's successfully controlled "the other guy" before, although Tony clearly believes he needs to try.
Regarding Thanos, I take it he continues to be a big villain now, but I'm not certain a lot of people who read comics before the Inifinity Gauntlet will know who he is. It's probably a good direction to go for the next movie, though.

I agree, the beginning of the movie wasn't so hot. I blame Scarlett Johansson, I can't take her seriously.

I liked the beginning of the movie, I thought it was interesting to have an entire fight sequence without any of the Avengers. (Well, if you don't include Hawkeye, but he wasn't really an Avenger at that point.) And I thought the chase got you engaged into the story. I also happen to like Maria, so it was cool to see her take charge.
I thought all the focus on Black Widow after that was good too. I didn't really have a strong opinion of her character from Iron Man 2 (or Scarlett's portrayal), but she totally sold me in this movie.

The ending of The Incredible Hulk shows Banner being able to induce his own transformation, showing he does have some control over the Hulk.

pretty sure I saw them posted somewhere, but they're pretty impressive nonetheless. How much do figures like that cost, anyway?

Saw that last night. I believe both DoubleTap & myself have preordered Hawkeye. I'm also considering picking up IM Mark VII in September as well from my LCS. The moment an Avengers version of BW is announced, will probably pick up too.

Damn that. Ill buy some S.I.C figures first. But I guess it's the level of detail is what people are paying for.
Would be nice if it uh... did something, lol.
