that might be maria hill... i know... the artist drew her really hot

the poster gila talented the artist

teaser trailer of the avengers in the after credits scene of captain america.

if got spidey here, would be more epic. usually spidey provides the witty banter.. but for this version, tony stark takes up that role to a bit i think

will reserve judgement till movie is out.

initial judgement, i still am not such a fan of this rendition of capt a, just on his characterizations. doesnt seem like much of an inspiring leader. his dig at iron man just reinforces my view, if i break it down and think up hypothetical causes.

as for the look of the tralier, its sort of have a noire'-ish filter to it. its not pure noire but it feels filtered a bit to deliver a look of its own. actually to think of it again, it feels 'filmic'. shooting on film looks different than using digital cameras, but somehow the 'filmic' quality seems slightly off. not sure if they shot digital and post processed to look filmic, or shot on film and post processed slightly but comes out slightly strange. that or it could just be my monitor, who knows.

yeah, capt a suit kinda hoodey like in that i think its the part of his head suit. so he can pull it back on and off.

scarlett johanssen is hot no doubt, not sure if her standalone movie wouldve been box office. it might, maybe this movie might jumpstart her solo black widow movie.

robert downey junior is already a legend. he's a classic. he's just pure brilliant actor, he's always expected to deliver brilliantly. its if he screws up that will be unexpected.

mark ruffalo aka the hulk. wouldve liked some continuity from earlier movies but what can you do. will give verdict when movies out.

nick fury, hawkeye, also will reserve further judgement will movie comes out.

thor is same, spot on. good initial casting.

who im interested to see is loki. how his character progressed from movie thor to this, the shift to wrecking havoc on earth. what are his motives?

btw, the start of tralier, the aura made it feel reminiscent of transformers 3 trailer... mightve been unintentional but certainly not good.

hulk looks like from 2nd i think. the facial resembles 2nd closer. plus in terms of size, the 1st hulk supposedly got very very huge at the canyon deserts scene and is humongous. the 2nd hulk (norton) while he got big to an extent, it didnt go overboard huge.

the trailer looks epic. the cinematography is stunning during fight sequences. the only shot i thought was campy was the whole group in a circle facing outside the circle coz i thought cap a suit looked campy.

scarlett looks hot in the few scenes shes shown, wonder if she'll do bad ass stunts like in iron man 2

that screencapture is good. i guess the new hulk really does resemble mark ruffalo. at the same time, it also reminded me of bill bixby?, is that his name, the original hulk from the tv series long ago?

continuity wise, its easier to say its from the norton version just coz iron man made a cameo. plus i think the movie is the better version overall.

just a guess, cap a is 1st avenger coz he avenged buckys death in cap a movie.
although tony first invited to avenger initiative, we assume he's first coz his movie came out first. i dont recall the time lapse between cap a was found in antarctic and when he woke up and met nick fury. it could well be that nick fury came up with the idea of avengers initiative right after cap a was found.
the trailers suggest that nick fury met cap a in the boxing gym and said he wanted cap a to help save the world, and not just help him adjust to the new world, so the possibility is there that cap a would still be the first avenger. and nick fury couldve met tony before or after cap a woke up. either way, cant wait for the movie... this one wajib on 3d

bad-ass... awesome soundtrack in trailer... movie looks epic.
pros- explosions and machines 'whirrings'/firing sounds like taken from michael bays school of transformers.. just hope dont follow bays storytelling style...

minor quips - nick fury didnt seem charismatic enough, especially when he said the avengers initiative part
- mark ruffalo pronunciation seems messy.. doesnt talk like an intelligent scientist (up for debate)
- cap a suit is still campy.. aiseh.... the rest all seems to work real fine almost believable as real world setting.


seriously though, the explosions, the machine sounds, the large machine snake all reminds me too much of transformers 3...

wonder woman wearing see through lingerie... get it?
coz i think she can go invisible... and she's nearly nekkid like wearin lingerie... get it? bahh nevermind

its a marvel movie.a post credit scene is almost a certainty

i dont think i wrote a review for this movie yet... and this not a review.
just wanna throw it out there, i think josh whedon is a very suitable candidate to helm a transformers movie. he showed he can handle epic scenes here very well as well as character moments

awesome movie. 9.5 out of 10 for me.
id go so far as to say brilliantly executed.
characters were consistent. some characters that had development off screen fared for the better. hulk for instance i think this is the best rendition.. bruce banner up for debate but the hulk is easily the most convincing of all 3 versions. even capt america suit looked campy, and the rest looked convincing, hulk, thor suit, helicarrier, iron man.
as for bruce banner, i just take it he progressed offscreen whereby he can control his rage to trigger the hulk transformation. instead of his previous attempts (previous movies) to try to control and subdue his rage, i think he now finds the balance between being angry and out of control anger or to trigger the hulk, or perhaps embracing his anger and controlling it as opposed to it controlling him. also the most fun hulk by far.

well thats just for hulk. as for the rest i can write very long review but kinda tired now but i think its nicely done when it couldve been a disaster. not just a better than nothing, its a terrific comic book movie.
i did have some grievances, but they are minor in the bigger picture.



someone asked why army didnt destroy the aliens... i think in the movie its mentioned the national guard (army) need atleast another hour to mobilize whereas the heroes are already in action. also the big flying worm/snake wouldve been hard to defeat even with fighter jets. plus the battle needed one on one to handle loki to take away his scepter. theres a lot to this movie thats overlooked by many but im too lazy to list them all down. this movie doesnt get stuck in its 'ego' is a way for me to say it.

as i said before, marvel movies and this avengers movie also is bright and optimistic in storytelling, not dark and gritty like batman/tdk. so enjoy both for what it is. atleast it doesnt try to be a copycat.

will definitely get the blu ray.. maybe even in 3d.

gotta find time to watch a 3rd time. is imax 3d sunway pyramid worth it? big bucks

i dont know... although loki can 'turn' a person using the scepter... but being able to get into a persons mind and manipulate to an extent just seems too .... easy i guess.. why the need to use the scepter then. did it amplify his powers? i guess everyone can come up with their own interpretations to fill in the gaps. with that scenario, banner is a scientist. him being easily susceptible is doubtful since he can for the most part control his rage and the transformation to hulk. anyways, maybe a hulk movie can shed light on this, or the directors commentary from the bluray

whedon for the win

the marvel movie universe seems to me to be getting to the more fantasy realm... i hope it doesnt lose the believability factor or real world feel to it... what not with galactus and guardians of galaxy gonna come out...

in other news, avengers blu ray pre orders are selling like hot cakes...

no digital download... will pass

man... blade was good... and still is good even today... off topic...

from the list above... yeah, id dare say avengers is the best out of them all.
