August 24, 201113 yr The fact that there's no Ant-Man or Wasp in this saddens me a little, but I'm still looking forward to it.
August 24, 201113 yr the movie is going to kick ass!!!!!!i am dying for it.and although i'd have loved to seen the original line up to start it, i can't complain with Hawk and Widow in the mix.
October 22, 201113 yr I don't know about this one. It could go either way. It could be the most badass movie ever or it could just turn out to be really stupid. I'm wondering how this one will turn out.
August 7, 201212 yr I got to see it a couple of weeks after release and good time was had by all. My expectations were nowhere near as high for it as they were for TDKR, but it was pretty much everything I'd hoped it would be. I was more impressed with Scarjo than I have been for a long, long time, and I loved the lengths they went to to make Robert Downey look tall. Â All in all, looking forward to Avengers II: Avenge Harder.
August 13, 201212 yr I saw The Avengers recently. I'd succinctly say that 'they didn't aim high', but they succeeded in obtaining all of their goals. It's very 'superhero-y', light-hearted, and just like the comic- which is thin on story and resembles nonstop stylized CGI action sequences. There is very little real emotion or anything deeply memorable. It's a bit of a throwaway flick. Most of the 2:17 hour running time is action after action, intervened by fun and simple dialogue. They did make the concept of a superhero team work pretty well. Tom Hiddleston did a good job as Loki, and made the far-fetched character believable. As for the superheros themselves, I think that the Avengers sort of format is just perfect. Having seen the comics- which I don't think are very good-....there isn't much in the way of compelling background towards the individual stories of Hawkeye, Black Widow, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America. The idea of combining small doses of each is ideal. It was a little unbelievable to watch ScarJo (who is a crap actress, IMHO) play a 5' 3'' ass-kicking Russian spy. She seems to function as 'the voice of the audience' throughout the film. Robert Downey Jr. and ScarJo do more talking than the rest of the superheroes combined. As for special effects, the CGI and superhero action are done extremely well. I particularly enjoyed the flying aircraft carrier. Overall, the Avengers is better than the other Marvel films I've seen. A Solid 3/5 movie. I got to see it a couple of weeks after release and good time was had by all. My expectations were nowhere near as high for it as they were for TDKR, but it was pretty much everything I'd hoped it would be. I was more impressed with Scarjo than I have been for a long, long time, and I loved the lengths they went to to make Robert Downey look tall. All in all, looking forward to Avengers II: Avenge Harder.
September 2, 201212 yr Yeah, it didn't present itself as anything other than a good, breezy, fun superhero movie, which is exactly what it was. Whedon was the perfect person to wrangle such an extensive cast into a coherent blockbuster. Â With regard to Widow, there was a very short scene in the movie where she (along with Hawkeye and Captain America) ran towards a ruined building while facing away from the camera, and in that moment I briefly thought "hey, thatâs not how someone with ninja fighting skills would run". Overall though, I didnât think Scarlett came across as some skinny pin pretending to fight. She mightn't look supremely gifted athletically, but it was believable to me that she could pack a punch.
February 8, 201312 yr I saw The Avengers, that was so exciting Slightly predictable, but interesting story) But, actually, i'm a fan of serials
July 23, 201311 yr   Quote The official title of The Avengers 2 was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend.Joss Whedon's eagerly-anticipated sequel is called The Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Though it shares its title with a comic book series called Age Of Ultron published by Marvel earlier this year (2013), Whedon has confirmed that the film won't use the same storyline. "We're doing our own version of the origin story of Ultron," he explained in a Marvel video interview. Ultron, a well-known supervillain from the Marvel universe, is described in his official bio as "a criminally insane rogue sentient robot dedicated to the conquest and the extermination of humanity". The sequel's logo was projected onto a video screen in the Comic-Con lecture hall during the Marvel panel on Saturday night (July 20) and Marvel executive Ryan Penagos soon shared it on Twitter.  Last month (June), Robert Downey Jr signed a deal to return as Iron Man in the new Avengers movie. The rest of the cast has yet to be confirmed but Marvel has promised a mix of "favourites from the first Avengers film and new Marvel characters never before seen on the big screen". Writer-director Whedon is currently working on the script and shooting is due to begin in London early next year (2014). The Avengers: Age Of Ultron will open in cinemas on May 1, 2015.
July 29, 201311 yr Wohooo! Can't wait for more info to come out  I did read that producers said that Black Widow will have a big part on this one which is exciting, Natasha deserves some love
July 29, 201311 yr It'd feel a bit wrong to have Ultron in the picture without Ant-Man, I hope Whedon plans on including him (and Wasp too).
July 31, 201311 yr The first major piece of casting news is in, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson confirmed to be playing Quicksilver. Â Amusing to have two different takes on Pietro (he's also confirmed to appear in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past') in as many years, and to see both Evan Peters and Taylor-Johnson portraying the character, having starred in 'Kick-Ass' together. Small world, innit?
August 2, 201311 yr Yes, that's going to be interesting to watch. And it's also going to be a pain in the butt for both actors who play the role
