'Dirty Girls'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Tom, I agree with your whitefont! And I teared up a little, because dammit, Son of Coul! Whaaaaaah!
Thanks to a morale event at my new job, we saw it at the big IMAX theatre in 3-D. I don't think the 3-D added anything, really. But wheeee, fun movie.
I saw it in 2D, and have no regrets.
The 3-D did make some of the action scenes a little difficult to follow for me, but I don't know how much of that is due to the sleep dep from having early meetings a couple days this week.
Curses! The early evening shows sold out earlier that I expected, so I had to buy a ticket to the 9:30 pm show instead. Oh well, who needed sleep tonight anyway?
At least this way I get to watch SPN live, and I see Kristen has given me a consolation prize of Hot Shirtless Guy with a gun.
I have to wait a week. Thank goodness my mom's a geek. Her Mother's Day present is going to be seeing The Avengers.
In the theater! There is a large group of kids. They better not be irritating! Set phasers to adorable instead.
I saw it in 2D, and have no regrets.
Ditto. And had a great audience.
We saw "The Avengers."
I enjoyed it quite a bit and we had an audience who laughed a LOT. I think I missed 1/8th of the audience because of laughing. I was pretty entertained throughout. I was expecting a so-so movie and it is better than so-so. I am not sure I would say it is better than Spider-Man 2 or X-Men 2, but I thought it was pretty good.
Note: I have only seen Iron Man (not 2) and Captain America. So, I didn't get Thor at all. I thought he was the worst of the avengers (and didn't do a good acting job either). I really liked Hulk but It was not well-explained how Hulk behaved the first time he appeared versus the big battle.
I wish the trailer hadn't spoiled the end. it sucked the life out of a particular event toward the dead end of the film. Thank you all for mentioning there were 2 bonus scenes after the end of the movie!
I was worried starting a 2 1/2 hour movie at 9:30 would have me up too late to enjoy it, but when the credits rolled I was like Drusilla: Do it again, do it again!
Well. There is nothing about that movie I didn't like. Holy crap, they have a Hulk. Also, even Tony Stark expected to be slashed. Finally, Loki is very pretty. Wow. I don't remember that from Thor.
