The Avengers (may contain spoilers!)

AWESOME!!!

"What are we - a team?

Naw - we're a time bomb..."

:D

That trailer is far better than the American one. :drool:

I am guessing the run time will be somewhere between 120-180 minutes.

And the part, where they'll fight each other, in the beginning would be great.

Can't wait to see how'd they put it up (Y)

[DocM]

In a recent interview Whedon said the latest Avengers edit runs 135 minutes. They were targeting between 120 and 150 minutes

[DocM]

Most studios hold pre-release preview just for reviewers a week or so before release. If they know there 's going to be trouble they'll either give no preview or embargo the reviews until just before or the day of the release.

Marvel Studios must be confident that Avengers will do well because even though it opens May 4th, it will have ia full-bore Red Carpet premiere on April 11 at the El Capitan theater in Hollywood - over 3 weeks before release. This indicates they're confident of good word of mouth.

We finally see a mechanized version of The Midgard Serpent (Jormungand) in the Japanese trailer. Although it isn't in English, it's still worth watching for the new scenes.

AWESOME!!!

"What are we - a team?

Naw - we're a time bomb..."

:D

More like a thermonuclear time bomb with the Hulk. I wonder why he's fighting alongside them. Is the Hulk doing it out of a sense of self-preservation?

[DocM]

Other than Avengers & Marvel canon showing Hulk/Banner with enough control to cross-function, in the Incredible Hulk films ending sequence it shows Banner using meditation to exercise control over his 'problem' - even smiling across the 'fourth wall' at the audience with his eyes going green.

[Razorwing]

I don't think that's what Banner meant. I think none of them are getting along, and they are in this to save the earth, but not be friends kinda thing.

[DocM]

From the Marvel site -

For a short time, Banner successfully treated his condition with radiation and was able to maintain enough of his own personality when he became the Hulk to control himself in that form. Subsequently, he earned the government's favor by destroying the alien Metal Master and received a presidential pardon.

Friends and Foes

A founding member of the Avengers. Not long after Hulk was baited into a trap by the Asgardian trickster, Loki, into destroying a train trestle. This would lead to the first instance where Hulk became a team player. Beside the occasional group endeavors, Hulk has teamed-up with many others that didn't think he was so bad. Spider-Man, Power Man and Iron Fist have partnered with Hulk on several occasions. Even brutes like the Thing and scrappers like Wolverine identified with Hulk and have allied with him almost as many times as they've fought against him. Not only has Hulk befriended those in the super-hero community, but he has managed to form bonds with regular people such as "Crackajack" Jackson and Jim Wilson.

I REALLY want to like these trailers and believe the hype. But I just cant. I see the trailer, with it's explosions and the slo-mo walking and trite dialogue and all I can think it's cliche, a bombastic fun cliche perhaps, but nothing that will change super hero movies as TDK did.

Of course it won't.

There are different classes. Batman under Nolan is another class, and Avengers is another class.

Though this time, I think Avengers is much, much more than your average superhero movie

[DocM]

The thing about Bats is that he isn 't super - he's all too human but with 'all those wonderful toys.'

It's not meant to be TDK. It's a "Marvel summer blockbuster"... It's meant to be bombastic, fun, silly and in-your-face. Not every film has to be a work of art, some are just fun.

yeah you could say the same about Iron Man though, I like Bats but I prefer Marvel Universe a hell alot more

[DocM]

I grew up on Batman, starting with my older cousin's comics from the early 1940's which were the BEST. By the time the Fantastic Four etc. came along I was in my early 20's.

It would be amazing to see Nolan do to Iron Man what he did to Batman, make it all dark and gritty!
