[molemaster43A not-so-awesome title]

Recently saw two great movies

The Avengers: This is my new favorite movie. Sure action was a contributing factor, but the comedy in this movie was awesome. I love how Robert Downey Jr. got a ton of small little jabs in at some of the other guys, especially Cpt. America. This movie just had all the makings of a great movie. *Infinity Symbol*/10

The Muppets: I liked this movie. It was very funny and I thought it was better than I thought it'd be. There was just a lot of fun stuff in it that made this movie great. I'd recommend seeing it. 8.5/10

I think [/b]The Avengers[/b] is so amazing that I think it's my favorite movie of all time.(A guy at my dad's work said that too.)It made me have so many emotions.I could see it 3 or 4 times and still not get bored.Also the mid-credits scene was just pure creepy.(In the good way.)


Also I have heard rumors of other Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies in Production such as:
Ant-Man
Nick Fury
Doctor Strange
Black Widow
Hawkeye
S.H.E.I.L.D
Black Panther
And More...

I was kind of disappointed that there wasn't any kind of Ant-Man reference (even something small in the background) in Avengers. I mean, he WAS one of the founders.

Well, at least not that I saw.

Rumors are the Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs the World/Shaun of the Dead) has been tagged for the Ant-Man movie. This would be AMAZING!!!

There was a reference when Nick Fury is talking to Loki about a boot and a ant.Also Edgar Wright tweeted a picture of this board with a man,an ant,and then a man mixed with an ant.I've even heard that Mandarin is going to be in Iron Man 3.

[RCBoilermaker14Which came first the turtle or the donkey?]

My personal opinion is Ant-Man sounds too weird and "childish" for a big-budget movie.

Anyways, I saw the Avengers on Sunday and it was amazing. It might classify as my favorite movie. Usually action movies don't have a good plot, but I just see it for the action. Avengers both has an amazing plot and amazing action. My favorite superhero is the Hulk after his dispute with Loki.

It's not childish he's one of the founding Avengers that should have had a film made by now.

I recently saw Battleship. Good action, bad acting. The actors acted a bit goofy and I'm not a fan of Taylor Kitsch. After just seeing the Avengers the week before, Battleship was a bit let down. I actually enjoyed the Three Stooges (movie) better than Battleship.

[CpBluestreakCpI wrote the book about donkeys!]

I saw the premiere of Men in Black 3. Not a bad movie since it has been such a long time since the 2nd one came out. It's one of those movies you kinda get confused and think for yourself right until the end. It all makes sense in the end. And if you lived through the Apollo missions (Don't know if anyone on here has) you might like it since it has a big chunk of the movie during 1969 at Cape Canaveral. Go see it if you get the chance.

I finally saw The Avengers last week, and enjoyed it. Mark Ruffalo stole the show as Bruce Banner/The Hulk (even though old Green Skin didn't have as much screen time as the other characters). He has the single best line in the whole flick. Ruffalo brought some dry humor to Banner, which was lacking in other Marvel movies.

So my friends convinced me to get over my squeamishness, and watch Drive today. It floored me (See what I did there? Hehe. Puns), to say the least. This pretty much sums up my opinion of the film.

I was completely enveloped in the complexities of the characters, as well as the decisions they had to make out of morality, or their own well-being (in the best and worst sense of the word). I loved how the movie did not have to resort to cheap cliches that most action movies seem to dish out nowadays, and how the movie took advantage of the spacious dialogue, completely relying on the emotions of the characters and the gravities of each situation to explain what was happening throughout. Finally, the gory moments definitely brought a pleasant shock value. Couple that with the classic "heist-gone-wrong" setup and the hauntingly spectacular performances of Gosling and Brooks, and I find Drive to be a beautiful love letter to filmography.

I don't understand how anyone could call it boring. It was one of the most tense and emotional films I've seen in recent memory. And I absolutely loved it.

[DanB89I Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

I've seen the Avengers twice now, and as seems to be the general consensus I loved it. The comedy was perfectly timed and the action impeccably staged (take note, Michael Bay: massive action set pieces can be used without cuts every 0.06 seconds). In an age of jaded moviegoers and cynical critics, it's heartening to see the four-year build up that began with the post-credits scene of Iron Man come to a satisfying and memorable culmination.

We went to the drive-in Saturday to see a Battleship/Avengers double feature. We really weren't all that interested in seeing Battleship, but it came on first so we watched it anyway. It was pretty good. Nothing that blew me away, but it wasn't terrible. The acting wasn't phenomenal or anything. I was disappointed that Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgard didn't get that much screen time, though.

But it was worth it to sit through Battleship to see Avengers. We loved it! I agree with whoever said Mark Ruffalo was a great Banner. And, of course, I love Robert Downey, Jr. Everyone was great, actually. I'm sure we'll be owning this one.

[LoneRider92I think Intamin should make a donkey!]

My friend and I agreed that Hulk won the bad-assery award for completely demolishing any and all opposition, while Iron Man won the award for best overall dialogue. Pretty awesome movie. The only problem was that for several hours after the movie we were sitting around trying to think of other characters to add into a "most epic movie of all time" movie; instead of just the Avengers, why not include every amazing movie/video game character in history into one movie? It was getting pretty darn hard to comprehend how any of it was tied together at all. It was a great way to spend a night.
