For me no, but my wife...yes. I still might go with a friend while leaving the ladies at home.

She doesn't want to wait for a better dl copy?

I think that watching it on cam would be a disservice to the visuals, and a lot of the dialogue would probably be hard to pick up.

It's a good movie, is arguably one of the best comic book movies and has without a doubt the best action sequences I've seen in a comic book movie. It also seems to (based on what I saw) appeal to both the fanboys and the general public meaning the movie kills 2 birds with the one stone.

Nothing else needs to be said about the movies quality.

Fieldy generally agreed with me. I said that I would give the movie a 7.5-8 from a fanboy perspective.

"WhIle the film had large chunks of fanservice, the packed theater I was in loved it despite most of them not being comic fans. It was the mix of the over the top comic sensibilities and enough humor infused in there that seemed to sell them on it through the awkward moments of the minimal plot until the final battle that personally delivered for me despite the awkward movements of the aliens.

Regardless of clearly catering to comic fans, this will definitely be a monster smash with repeat value for anyone from fanboys to action movie fans to people who want to see a fun movie to little kids who practically teemed over the characters despite me being 99.99999999999999999% sure they don't read the comics these characters are based on.

I'd have personally given it a 7.5-7.9 though (just shy of . Not perfect or deep by any means but definitely the most fun comic book movie I've watched."

The only part of the movie that non-fans had trouble with was the Thanos scene in the credits, which I thought was pretty lame, as well.

I went to see it with four of my friends. 2 are comic book readers and the others aren't, and yet they all enjoyed it.

It was fucking great. Started a bit slow but once it kicks off it's a great movie. Lots of fun, every character gets a moment to shine and it has 3 actors from Dollhouse in minor roles. What more could I want?

Citizen Kane in tights, in Jon's opinion.

Yup... exactly. It's the greatest movie ever made, because people on this site can't handle that it was fun and enjoyable, with great character moments. That's not good enough. It has to be the bestest comic film ever or the fanboys all throw a tiff...

*sigh*

You would think a site of supposed adults could handle a differing opinion (that was actually positive). Especially when it's about a movie they haven't even seen yet. :wink:

What a fun movie.
I enjoyed a lot and actually laugh at the jokes.

(I go to movies to actually have fun. so Avengers was custom made for me)

I too wish to see it.

Haven't been able to take the wife yet. I took her shopping this weekend and we ran out of time. Hopefully she gets to go soon, but I want to take her to a better theater.
