As long as I get to be the Hulk, since he's the only one I can relate to! <br /><br />Part of me is even questioning whether it will stand up in the tech categories though, with so many films still to come, including The Dark Knight Rises, Life Of Pi, Spider-Man, etc. I'd guess Visual Effects and maybe Sound Editing are it's best shots.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-48644628032576828722012-06-29T09:34:21.207-07:002012-06-29T09:34:21.207-07:00Very interesting take - enjoyed the read.

Each has their own agenda, sure, but when it comes down to it they brush them aside, right? <br /><br />I think the dysfunctional team aspect is what makes easier to relate to, honestly. Reminds me of my family.<br /><br />Otherwise, excellent post as usual. I think Best Picture is a incredible long shot, but the tech noms are probably guaranteed.m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-90827840077870086612012-06-29T08:59:58.470-07:002012-06-29T08:59:58.470-07:00Thanks Ruth.

Still, I've always found Marvel's X-Men to be more interesting that their Avengers. I think it might have something to do with the X-Men's status as outsiders, compared to the Avengers who seem to represent all the best and worst of the powerful forces in our society.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-43818146252181889132012-06-29T08:44:21.594-07:002012-06-29T08:44:21.594-07:00I haven't seen Prometheus yet, but it is in my...I haven't seen Prometheus yet, but it is in my queue at some point.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-53782677571083068842012-06-29T08:43:41.550-07:002012-06-29T08:43:41.550-07:00Thanks Enigma Quin.

Yeah, it may be that all superheroes are actually more trouble than they're worth.<br /><br />I laughed at a lot of Downey's lines in particular, but can't say that I really remembered any of them ten minutes after I'd left the theater.

I know that I did skip several of the individual films, so it is possible that I missed something, and I do think that the Oscar talk, outside of the technical categories, is mostly people looking for something to talk about early in the season.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-4447391771651764182012-06-29T07:35:44.332-07:002012-06-29T07:35:44.332-07:00Glad you saw this David.

Interesting review and you raise some valid points about the Avengers themselves contributing to the mess they have to *clean up.' Yeah, they definitely should've left that Tesseract device well enough alone, ahah.<br /><br />I agree that The Hulk/Bruce Banner is perhaps the most compelling character, which is unexpected. I think his scenes with Loki is one of my favorites.ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-83955555371949258972012-06-28T22:36:42.975-07:002012-06-28T22:36:42.975-07:00Great post.

I thought the cast had great chemistry with each other and the direction by Joss Whedon was tremendous. He had to include each of the characters back story just enough for new viewers, yet still provide new material for fans of the other flicks as well. Also credit should be giving to film editors Jeffery Ford and Lisa Lassek for providing equal time to all the different characters in this. Not one person is upstaged by another.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174093530239310598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-81221839214535370502012-06-28T19:34:30.263-07:002012-06-28T19:34:30.263-07:00I think that's one of the biggest differences ...I think that's one of the biggest differences between most Marvel superheroes and most DC superheroes. Marvel is all about the flawed heroes and the anti-heroes. Some people think that makes them more interesting, others think they're simply flawed. While DC has mostly flawless superheroes, instead giving them weaknesses. Some people think that makes them more boring, and other think that makes them more of a role-model. Nice to hear your thoughts about the movie.Bubbawheathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258094863868303774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-11093839725696347972012-06-28T11:21:32.605-07:002012-06-28T11:21:32.605-07:00Good review here.

Now we worship our Pops-stars, Business moguls, and Superheroes, "all mess included." Story telling was never about entertainment, story telling was always about the news, danger, and how to get out of trouble. Perfect gods don't sell, because they don't teach us anything. <br /><br />The Avengers teach us that we have a stronger "Ego" banded together, than we'll ever have apart. Never be afraid of stronger egos, they are always the ones who push humanity forward.

They all just seem to invite their arch nemeses to have it out on our little planet! Of the ones that are of this world, you could argue, if they didn't "decide" to be superheroes, there would have been no need for the super villains. <br /><br />I loved this film, thought all the performances from everyone were excellent. Though not Oscar worthy. Robert Downey Jr. was at his pithy best with Stark here, it was nothing jaw dropping.Jainahttp://time-wellspent.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-2496517049248199552012-06-28T06:00:55.101-07:002012-06-28T06:00:55.101-07:00Nice review!

I agree those guys weren't particuarly impressive but I think because we got to see those people in their own movies it made the audiance like them - sure they have flaws, but hey they can step up when their help is needed. I don't think the film has much of a shot in Oscar season and I'm kinda baffled by the high praise it got, but it was really entertaining. I still prefer Thor and Iron Man to this, though.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.com
