I saw it just now, it was pretty decent, not super great. To give it an actual rating i'd say 6.5/10 (where as Dark Kight = 9.5/10!)

It was worth the watch though, I saw it in 2D because didn't want the 3D glasses mess today. I've seen others in 3D but just didn't think that needed it.

I agree with you on the 3D-thing. It actually makes the picture worse! Due to these glasses the whole movie is darker? Furthermore this 3D-thing gets way out of hand lately. Btw. I saw Thor in 3D - there wasn't even an option for 2D in my cinema - but it wasn't really necessary in my opinion?

BTW.: I'd actually I'd love having the option for analog cinema again - for me this whole "Digital Cinema" was nothing but increased prices without any benefit - hell I once had to wait 45 minutes cause they had technical problems with this whole digital stuff?

This is one of those movies where the marketing team should be fired. From the previews, I thought it looked absolutely stupid. I like superhero movies so I went to watch it anyway. To my surprise, I thought it was a very solid movie. There were some spots where the special effects were lackluster, but the story and overall feel the movie left me with was quite a positive one. I really enjoyed it.

I really liked this scene...

*Destroyer arrives*

Agent 1 - Is it one of Starks?

Agent 2 - Stark never tells me any thing... :rofl:

OMG that was one of my favorite scenes. Mixing the movies like this is so cool. I don't think I've ever seen movies do this until these Marvel movies. Like in the Captain America trailer where he says Mr. Stark or something like that. That is awesome too! Thor gets 9/10 from me :woot:

I know I'm definitely in the minority on this, but I just watched it and absolutely could not get over how cliched it was.

Character development? Yeah, pretty much not there.

Cheesy lines? Yup, all-around.

Uninteresting action? Pretty much.

Over-use of CGI, just like Green Lantern? Oh goodness, yes.

Tilting the camera at important dialogue moments just to scream to the viewer, "TENSE MOMENT!"? Ugh, yeah.

Shots of supporting characters smiling when something amazing happens? Check.

Supporting characters who are supposed to come across as bad comic relief? Egads, yeah.

Part where hero does something selfless, saves the day, and woman cries over him? That's in there, too.

Telegraphed "bad guy" from the beginning? Definitely. And he's a relative? Oy vey.

It follows the Iron Man plot line -- privileged individual pays for his arrogance, gets humbled a bit, and gains great power and knowledge, blah, blah, blah. The problem is the acting is nothing compared to Iron Man. The character interaction isn't even remotely believable. And the environments... I never say this about a movie, but the sets were freaking atrocious. There were a couple main locations, and everything else looked entirely out of place.

It's upsetting, because, deep down, there's parts of a good movie here. When the movie focuses on

S.H.I.E.L.D. coming in and messing things up, it's a somewhat interesting plot. There's actually meaningful interactions.

But, man... cliched movie out the wazzoo. This is easily the most disappointing movie I've seen all year.

Lots of people I've talked to seem to be split on this one. Some really like it. Some think it meh. Others find it a great film. I personally really enjoyed it but that may be because I liked the comics and am a fan of the norse mythology the character is based on. I will say this for the film...it may not be for the uninitiated.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
