Just saw The Avengers

[Sweetdeath]

We finally saw this tonight and really enjoyed it. Robert Downey Jr. stole the show as I expected him to; his presence on-screen is really amazing, and one reason Captain America (and to some extent Thor) paled in comparison to the Iron Man movies.

Loved the Hulk scenes, especially the one with him and Thor in Grand Central station (won't give away what happens just in case any of you haven't seen it, but I was laughing for 2 minutes afterward

I did catch Captain America's little line about there being "only one god, ma'am." Why is it pop culture went from rebelling against old religious stereotypes back in the 60's to falling over each other talking about god? (John Lennon sings the virtues of "no religion too", Cee-Lo changes it to "All religion's true". Just sayin'. This is an atheist forum after all. Ok, end rant).

That Capt America line really bothered me a loooot. I gave my gf a look like "wow, really...?"

Different time or not. It's a movie made in 2012, and that kinda b.s propaganda didn't need to be in there.

Well, it figures, I'm the lone hold out. I'm glad I saw it just so I can say I saw it. I just don't think it was THAT great. It was ok. I am reminded of all the hype before it came out. The big build up. And then I am reminded of a few guys at work sitting around talking about the "funny" stuff (before I saw it). I see the same thing here. Seems most people remember the funny stuff...but it wasn't a comedy.

The Iron Leading Man takes center stage, but that's because the writers have him take center stage. And I don't know why. It would seem to me that the bad guy being Thor's adopted brother and comes from the same place as Thor, Thor should have been the central character.

The leading lady is....what?

Capt. America ends up being the mild mannered butler with superpowers.

It was all too easy.
If you put Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt, Rommel, Hitler, Montgomery, Patton, and Yamamoto all in the same room and told them to save the world....

It is this incredibleness that wrecks movies for me. It's why TV shows like Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica worked. They came of as credible. And it's the incredibleness of Avengers that blew it for me.

Mild mannered butler with super powers. I likw that, lol  xDD


Black widow was bleeh. Kinda lame. And Hawkeye was posssed 2/3 of the movie.

I agree Thor should of had a bigger role than Ironman.
