Avengers-not as good as you think it is.
 

It's kinda sacrilage to say that you don't like the Avengers, that it's kinda ungreatfull, well i don't care.
You would think that a movie with 5 superheroes could never be boring, boy where you wrong. This was dull, generic, cliche non engaging and overall forgettable...
It feels like an episode of a TV series with a big budget. The writing is horrible, Josh Weadon tries to make everyone witty and it doesn't work. All the character depth from the previous movies, well forget about that it's like watching cardboard cutouts and you don't give a **** about what's going on. Loki is a joke of a villain, nothing about him is menacing or smart or anything really, he is such a non presence in the movie that it brings a generic movie even lower because you don't feel fear for any character ever. Josh you are not Tarantino, how about next time you write the characters a little better instead of making everybody cocky? There's way to much **** in this movie...

Cannot disagree more. I'm sure you can direct this frustration somewhere else and be productive at the same time? You're entitled to your opinions but I feel like this post was meant to incite argument based on the language used.

I saw it and everything from the characters and action scenes/effects were awesome. I just couldn't get engaged in the story, though. Eh, I never liked superheroes anyway...

Not really, i get why people like it and i don't hate it (unlike TDK or Amazing Spiderman) I just don't think it's very good.

I enjoyed the Avengers, When you get a bunch of Superheroes from the different movies together, you will expect a lot of action. As for the story, By watching all the other marvel movies, It helps built up the story that will happen in the movie. With everything that happened in The Winter Soldier, and Agents of Shield. You kind of get a sense of what the story will be like in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Is it May 2012 again?

Electric_sheep is not as good of a troll as he thinks he is.

Well yeah, it is. But if you detach yourself from all the hype and media and nostalgia, just look at the movie as just a movie, it doesen't really stand up..

Well, it is a big crossover event. That's why we have the individual movies.

I don't like it either.

I know I'm in the minority and don't get me wrong I thought it was good but far from anything special. Sure it was cool to see the Avengers together in a movie and it had some funny lines but overall it didn't do anything special. The first Iron Man and Batman Begins are still the superior superhero movies, Avengers only ranks higher than the other run of the mill superhero movies which I might like but it doesn't get me all excited.

Holy crap someone actually is capable of making worse topics than Cubed.

Lesson number 1: Don't make a topic to tell people how much you hate something that others like. It's a colossal dick move.

Avengers might be a little overrated but its still a good entertaining movie with great performances by the actors and great action.

Dissenting opinions from sdp too!? This thread has it all!

I don't mind, but it IS overrated and truth be told none of Marvel's movies are shakespere but unfortunatly their stupid aspie fanboys will try to convince you the emperor isnt naked. It's a bit pathetic really. Everyone grows up eventually, and when you do, that's when you watch and appreciate a DC product more.

What's sdp?

Marvel comics thrive more on story than action.

Not really. Outside of Thor and Cap, which are essential for certain points, you could have told the Phase I story in a minimal amount of time, it certaingly isnt as detailed as Phase II's films have been, which in my mind will just hurt these films as they become more smug and self-referential. People care more about post-credit scenes than they do about the f*cking actual movie.

Winter Soldier is all that's been required of Phase II so far. Agents of SHIELD is boring as f*ck.

Too bad no one can just say "I dislike this thing" anymore. Now it has to be "I hate this thing and everyone else who likes it is dumb".

You are wrong. It did start slow, but the latest episodes have been exciting as hell.

Did a guy in a Wolverine shirt wipe his ass with your copy of Superman, or something? Jesus. You are literally the very kind of fanboy you're complaining about, but for the opposite team.

Now we get some classic Zarius self-hating "aspie" sh*t, from a grown man who writes fan fic no less!

Best thread in this section in years!

This thread. Gold.

Who the **** is "Josh Weadon"?

Probably a friend of this "shakespere"

If I could take a dump anywhere on this forum, it would be in this thread.

Where would you take it to?

Jesus christ, you guys are 'ungreatfull'.

I blame internet explorer, it doesen't have auto correct...
(yeah i use Internet explorer)
And no, i won't edit it, spelling mistakes are apparently hilarious...

You don't have to like the movie. It's just, you dislike it for the specific reasons people love it... And you made a whole thread to say, "You think you like this pizza, but if you look at it objectively, you'll realize that, obviously, the cheese, the sauce and the crust suck. Right, guys?"

Hahaha, OK. As a lover of all butt related jokes, you got me.

I'm just waiting for the "Marvel vs. Capcom" bashing to pop up.

Ok I got to know what DC product is superior to the Marvel films cause I can only think four five if Batman Mask of the Phantasm is counted. That I would count as masterpieces to let alone good. Even then they all star Batman DC/WB just cant get it together when it comes to showcasing its other heroes on the big screen.

As for Avengers and the marvels studio stuff yeah its overrated. Avengers was a good action flick but unlike other comic movies like X2 or Dark Knight it didn't really get me much of an emotional response from me. If it wasn't for seeing the other Marvel movies I wouldn't have given to ***** about the characters. As for Marvel Studios themselves there just like Fox and Sony they can have success and failures just like them I frankly hated Iron Man III and Thor Dark Word was overly meh.

If growing up means appreciating the clusterf#*k that is the DC TV/Movie franchises, then I'll happily stay a kid forever.

That's kinda the genius of the whole thing.

I quite honestly didn't like The Avengers either. The actors were great and all, but the writing was pretty sloppy at times (I still don't know why in God's name Hulk started tearing apart the Helicarrier, but became everyone's fun friend at the end when it was plot-convenient).

Boring soundtrack, boring shots, and quite frankly a boring story. The core plot itself could be interesting, but the way it was all paced made it all so mundane and quite frankly annoying.

And what the hell was with all the bad jokes? I don't mean just bad, I mean goddamn irritating. Why did Hulk feel the need to punch Thor after taking down that giant lizard alien thing?

It was just stupid; what if Hulk had killed Thor? That wouldn't be funny. It all just felt so contrived.

And Iron Man 3 made me want to puke. They set the movie during Christmas (maximum ??????) and while the Mandarin was pretty awesome in the beginning, he turned out to be a loser named Trevor who'd turned his brain to goo with drugs. And then they try to fix it by making that idiot Killian the Mandarin.

I was pretty happy when they killed off Pepper, but she survived due to dumb luck and became the hero of the movie instead of Tony, who decided to blow up all of his Iron Man suits for reasons that are not made clear. And Tony got a real heart again? That was just insulting to Marvel fans, especially when the first two movies made it clear that that simply wasn't possible.

There were so many plot holes in an almost plotless film. It was kind of amazing how poorly written it was.

The Winter Soldier was awesome, though. I couldn't have asked for a better film.

I think the thing I loved best about the Mandarin reveal in IM3 was how it took the piss out of the Ras Al Ghul reveal from Batman Begins, a movie that just gets worse and worse with every rewatch.

This is what you're complaining about? Its a comic book movie, I want fun jokes in a movie. People forget that superheroes are supposed to be, "fun," I want to see funny banter and jokes between characters.

Its the reason Robin exists in the Batman universe, because you need a lighter or funnier character there.

Well that, and he's a self-insert character for little boys to imagine themselves being.

Then they added BatGirl to make things look less "provocative."

Me too. Winter Soldier did it fine; the jokes were natural and - surprise surprise! - actually funny. The jokes in Avengers were forced, annoying, stupid, and unfunny.
