Avengers Freaking Rocked................

I don't care what anyone says. Went with fellow TRFer HDHNTER and in 3D, it was AWESOME. My only recommendation is to be sure to go to the bathroom before the movie starts as its almost 2 1/2 hours long. I had to cross my legs like a girl after drinking the "bed wetter special" from the movie theater snack bar. Awesome, awesome movie in my opinion. No, it's a FACT...........lol..............

You won't be disappointed. Got to see it in 3D to get the full effect. I was wondering how they were going to bring it all together but they did a great job!

Saw it last night, I thought it was a mess of a movie to be honest. The 3D is not even that good, it wasn't shot in 3D, just the added CGI was. Not like Avatar.

I just got back.

I got to say I'm not big on special effects, but the movie was really pretty good.

As you'll probably be able to tell from my avatar, I'm a BIG Marvel fan! I loved the film... one or two things didn't quite sit right for me being a fan boy but I'd give it a good 8/10 (prob the best Marvel film so far)!

Good call, Dan & I waited through most of the credits wondering if anything would be on the tail-end... impatience won over & we left before they finished. Taking my wife to see it with the IMAX treatment so I'll catch it then, thanks for the heads-up.

It was a long movie, but action packed.

It looked like Agent Coulson was wearing a Day-Date or Day-Date II with the President bracelet.

200 million for the first weekend the wife just read.

A new record, 160 million previous record.

It appears as a good number of people just had to see it.

Already $641 million worldwide. Pretty sure there will be a sequel with that kind of sales.
