I still find it funny he has played two Marvel heroes, though. --- Quote from: pinballjim on May 14, 2012, 09:23:53 am ---Does Avengers explain how Captain America isn't 80 years old, or do they just gloss over it like The Watchmen did with The Comedian? --- End quote --- It was explained in the Cap movie, in the last 10 minutes... he was frozen, Walt Disney's head-style in the arctic after the plane crash (that he made very little effort to escape). Unless I am missing something. |

Is it just a Matrix 2 thing where he's bored and likes to fight for no reason? --- End quote --- Not sure if you asking based on seeing the movie, or not seeing the movie. But in a nutshell, there is a Saw it is weekend in 3-D at a Dine-in theater with the wife, reserved comfortable seating, food & beer, can't beat it. We loved it, though she eq |

I am impressed that they stuck with him, though, as they could have used the different medium as an excuse to use someone else, they have plenty of popular characters to choose from. |

Bah, Post submitted above before I actually wrote anything. Actual post below: --- Quote from: pinballjim on May 14, 2012, 09:56:35 am ---Okay, fair enough.

But in a nutshell, Thor’s brother is involved, so there is a good and a bad God that would effectively cancel each other out. The bad guys coming in would eventually overwhelm Thor (I imagine) and even if not, the issue is that they are causing a heck of a lot of destruction, and while he can slow the tide, he is unable to stop it, which will cause a lot of damage to the Earth, which thanks to a sexy Natalie Portman, is under Thor’s protection for the most part, and he also feels guilty about the damage he caused previously. Not your usual God caring stuff, but Thor seems to have a soft spot for humans/Earth. For myself, Saw it is weekend in 3-D at a Dine-in theater with the wife, reserved comfortable seating, food & beer, can't beat it. We loved it, though she equated it to porn as she got to watch Cap and Thor together, not sure how to take that. Great movie, weak in some spots (I didn't see Transformers 3 so have no comments there, but the army itself was kinda wimpy, but worked ), but the characters came off great (I expected to be cold towards Black Widow but she had a couple really great moments where she did her espionage thing that I liked ), each character had a "moment" or two, but the Hulk did steal the show , I thought Ruffalo was good throughout, though I haven't yet seen Norton's Hulk so can’t comment there. This was probably the best of the Marvel films leading up to it in my opinion, there were several spots where I laughed out loud (LOUD per my wife) and probably the most impressive thing is that they actually did it. In concept, this is a great idea, it execution, this could have gone so badly with all the lead-in movies and required cast, but they pulled it off. Kudos to Joss and the actors. There is a scene towards the end where all the Avengers are in picture and ready for battle and I thought “Wow, they did it, they actually made this happen!” FYI to those who like to sit for the credits, TWO extra scenes. First mentioned above, there is a second, funny , addition. I’d see it again, will own on DVD. Woot! |
