The Avengers - What Did I Think?

AWESOME!!!!!! I went to see it on release night here in the UK, about 50% of the people were wearing Marvel T-Shirts and really amped for it...... well, there was one guy wearing a Superman shirt, oops. I've been a fan of Marvel for 30 years and Captain America is my childhood hero, even got a Cap tattoo years ago. The (new)individual are amazing but combining them, it's a full force of AWESOMENESS !!!!!!!!

Enjoy !!!!!!!!

Final thought "HULK SMASH!!!"

I'm SOO glad to hear it lived up to your expectations! Hubs is going to see it tonight - I get to stay home and babysit :-/. Hopefully I'll get to see it before it leaves theatres. Love LOVED the Iron Mans, Thor, and Capt America. I'm a newbie to confess (shocker ) But I think they've done an excellent job with the films. The dialogue is so sharp. That's what keeps me interested.

How fantastic! My husband and our room mate are going this weekend (like somehow that makes up for them not going to Disneyland next week with the kids and I) and they;re really looking forward to it! Can you share with us some of your favorite parts without spoliers?

I know this is one we will get on DVD once it comes out. We probably wont make it to the theatre for it..but all I know is last night we went to eat at a pub right next to the movie theatre and we could not find a parking spot anywhere! Dave had to drop us off and walk from the other side of the shopping center. It was crazy packed for the movie!

We saw it last night. LOVED IT! My mom, dad, brother and his girlfriend saw it about an hour before us in a different time zone. (in Indianopolis for a 1/2 marathon) and my mom sent me like 4 texts after saying it was great. so if she loved it you know it's good.

I knew you were going to say that... Lol...

The part about gwyenth Paltrow is short shorts

Hubs said it was fantastic too! I'm not sure I'll get to see it in the theater...we shall see. I hate to wait for it...my deep and passionate love for Robert Downey, Jr., is well-documented here.

I saw it Friday evening.

And again Sunday afternoon.

Going back next weekend.

I always loved The Avengers in the comics, and this movie is just about as close to perfect as you can get.

Squeeee! (Mental picture of Lizzy jumping up and down, clapping, like Candace from Phineas and Ferb.)

I think I'm gonna need to see it.

with Disney acquiring Marvel what happens to Six Flags? Will they still have Marvel themed rides? Anyone know.

Sorry Mase - maybe I shouldn't hijack your post but I thought this would be a good place to post this.

I'm sure I heard something about all existing Marvel based parks/properties optioned will continue as is, but can't remember what the future holds for them.

All I can say is.....'Puny God'!

And I really loved Captain America in this one, though I really liked his film too (after a few re-watches!) and there don't seem to be many of us out there!

I think we may go see this today. It's a non-park day and we're doing great with our vacation food budget so there's extra money. I noticed a big AMC Downtown Disney so I'm going to see if Avengers is playing and hopefully the kids will want to go! I hope I can get there!

Kristen, there is no way any movie theater in America (with the exception of art theaters and, you know, "art" theaters) is NOT showing The Avengers. So just GO. Everyone will enjoy it. Trust us.

Ummm.... it's in Downtown Disney. I think the question is, "How many screens is it showing on?" not "Is it showing?" Hope you are enjoying Disneyland.

So, we didn't get to the movies today. Our "extra money" from the food budget is in the form of a Disney Gift Card. LoL... Don't know what I was thinking. Anyhow, we went to the pool and I guess will get to do some extra shopping this weekend! Still haven't seen Avengers though.

Shopping!

Have fun!

Did you happen to go to the window reveal on Main Street today? Would love to hear about it if you did.

I loved it! I thought it was great!

I saw it last Friday and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sometimes it's good to watch a movie that just tells the story without demanding too much concentration from the watcher. The Avengers fills this brief entirely and provides a few laughs along with way. My favourite line... "He's adopted".
