Dear sweet jesus,
Words cannot really do justice to how good it was. And I wasn't in an audience of mix matched people, I was in a private screening filled will Sci-Fi nerds from around the country. It was like being at a convention. There were times when the whole theatre erupted in laughter and even moments of applause which I didn't find annoying like I thought I would.
If I had to describe Avengers Assemble in one word, I would fail. Two words I can manage, however: Exceeded Expectations.
Right from the beginning the audience is thrust into the action and plot. For a two and a half hour-ish film, having to deal with so many characters didn't result in a plot where loads of individual back-stories and sub-plots are squashed into one film . Each character was given his/her due attention <spoiler=Spoiler but not about details>except maybe Hawkeye, they didn't really go too much into his character and when together the team gelled together excellently. I had gone into the theatre still thinking Black Widow was just a filler character. Nothing to really bring to the film <spoiler=Spoiler on details>I wasn't really proved wrong but she played a good role in the film but you need make up your own mind about it. The film is filled from top to bottom with moments that will make you cream yourself. From comic references to plain-old brilliant writing. Joss, I'm sorry for doubting you. You really did a fantastic job with this.
To be honest, I'm not sure about the goal that this thread has. I can't really start a good discussion about the movie until everyone has seen it and posting loads of spoiler boxes will just ruin it for you. So wherever you are living and whatever release date your country has, book the first showing! Book it now!
For any Irish readers, thanks go out to the UCC Sci-Fi Society for organising this private screening. And while I'm at it, a little shameless plug to <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-League-of-Heroes>The Escapist League of Heroes Group: The Avenger Mansion / Watchtower of the Escapist.
