The Avengers: The Motion Picture Discussion Thread- Open SPOILERS -enter at own risk!

[Josette]

I didn't find it cheesy. The movie had been building to that shot - that's when we first see them as an actual team, and was the last puzzle piece to slide into place (following everyone's solo movies, the after-credit scenes and one-shots slow building to the Avengers).

 

[Khev]

All right guys we've already got both a TDKR and an Avengers vs. TDK thread.

I do agree that that article seemed quite premature especially since it makes pains to contrast The Avengers with Batman and Spider-Man. It'd be one thing if TASM and TDKR had just both bombed, but they haven't even come out yet! As others have said all three movies could easily be $1 billion blockbusters.

I'm sure somewhere right now a WB executive is in bed worried if Somber is out and Vivid and Happy are in.

I think the Jamaican bobsled team has a better chance of winning Olympic gold.

Just got back from seeing this movie finally. Great movie.

Is it good, hopefully I can get around to seeing it soon.

I thought that shot was kind of cheesy myself. As was the one with the Avengers all posing in front of Loki. That's one thing I also really disliked about X2.

All 3 of those shots (including X2) are basically love letters to the source material... they're very comic bookish. I think they're great.

I love how that guy had to bash TDK and Nolan to make his point.

He doesn't need to. TDKR is going to make a ton of money.

Scarlett Johansson's ass was looking real fine in that movie.

As it should

Just got my Art of ThevAvengers book, great read and lots of awesome designs that weren't used. Highly recommended.

Dumping $200mil on a movie based on a boardgame should be grounds for termination. It's a real WTF?!

Imagine if this had done well

We'd be seeing:

- Monopoly: The Movie
- Scrabble: The Movie
etc

It doesn't even have anything to do with the board game.

 

[The Ween]

I didn't read jye's article....as King would say, "Too many words".

Considering that a lot of the imax midnight showings are pre-sold out for as far back as January, he's probably laying in a bed worried about if he's had his boner for over 4 hours already.

Yeah, you're probably right

I'll be there at midnight plus many viewings afterwards.

Yeah I get what they were trying to do. It just felt too staged and forced to me, even in a comic book movie.

Yeah...I hate to be the bearer of ludicrous tidings. But this has been in the works for a while. 9 months ago seems to be the most recent news on it, though. So maybe it is dead.

You're smarter than that. It's Hasbro, and they even admit it in the trailer, so fail.

Ridley Scott as recently as last year was developing a Monopoly film. Scott produces several films each year, so I doubt this is one he will direct himself. But there are very good odds of a Monopoly film happening.
