Holy balls, you're right! This moview was everything I hoped it would be & more! Snappy dialogue, big action, totally cool characters, THE must-see flick of the summer! And we're just getting started.Battle Catman said:That was one of the lines that made me laugh--when Cap gets the "flying monkeys" reference.Frostbite3789 said:I loved the mid credits scene. Thanks to you I got the double meaning.
Ha. He wants to court death. I GET IT.
Hey, I just realized something...
I don't know if I missed it, but no one said "Avengers, assemble!"
For me, the lacklustre story was more frustrating. Half way through the movie I was already wishing it would end. "Snappy dialogue, big action, totally cool characters" ([user]Darth_Payn[/user]) get old fast for me. Also, I get sleepy riding rollercoasters.TwistedEllipses said:I had half-expected Moviebob to gush about this film, afterall it's stuffed full of stuff just for the fans of the comics. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid 7/10 film with superb moments (favourites involve Phil, Loki, infighting and all Iron man and Thor quips), but it has flaws.
As Moviebob said the story is secondary and slim. The opening leaves you feeling you've missed a film and is taken a little too seriously for all the silliness involves. Loki's CGI army has no backstory, a stupid forgettable name, and just show-up as faceless goons to fight. How they're dealt with is a plot contrivance followed by a magical killswitch that left me with the impression they had forgotten the army weren't robots.
Also, the extended action scenes get a bit physically exhausting after a while, but that may just be watching it in 3D.
The worst scene was Loki making people bow before him (kneel before Zod, etc) and one old man with a stereotypical Jewish accent disobeys him. Captain American then shows up and compares Loki to...well if you can't guess where this is going already, here's a clue: the scene is set in germany. -_-
It's testament to how good the film is that the main storyline could be so bad, but not detract that much...
EDIT: Did anyone ever say 'Hawkeye'. I heard a 'Hawk' and his regular name, but it seemed like it assumed you knew already...
First in answer to your Q, I'm pretty sure Black Widow explicitly called him Hawkeye during the last battle scene.TwistedEllipses said:I had half-expected Moviebob to gush about this film, afterall it's stuffed full of stuff just for the fans of the comics.

And Iron Man 3Eamar said:Just came back from seeing it for the second time (I'm from the UK) and I loved it every bit as much as the first time round. Pure, unbridled joy, and I cannot wait for Thor 2 next year XD
To all of you who haven't seen it: I want you to read this sentence a few times. If this doesn't make you want to go out and see The Avengers right the hell now, then I'm sorry, but you have a terminal case of hating fun.teknoarcanist said:There was a BEAUTIFUL fly-through during that big climax where you see Black Widow fly by on a stolen alien motorcycle plane, who passes Ironman engaging in a mid-air duel, who flies past Hawkeye holding his ground on a rooftop, who turns and shoots an arrow past Thor and The Hulk on the back of a giant robot snake, which crashes into the ground near (iirc) where Captain America is tanking it out with some dudes on the ground, all in one straight cut.
Followed by an awesome iron man moment. XDMerrick_HLC said:I will agree that scene's probably the weakest in the entire film, but I forgive it simply because it was, to me, an awesome Cap moment.

Co-creators I assume you mean.Chaos Marine said:It's a shame how Marvel fucked over the creators of the original creators of the characters from the Avengers which makes it hard for me to really enjoy this movie.
