The Avengers (may contain spoilers!)


Recommended Posts

Spoiilers or not I really think there shouldn't be any real comments towards it till its available to everyone...us here in the US although its a damn US made film, most of which was made in the US isn't going to be opened till May4th so...

Saw it at the weekend. It was ok. Not amazing or anything. Very predictable and cheesy in places. Cant understand why people are saying it is the best super hero movie ever. The story was pretty weak and nothing that hasnt been done before. Enjoyable if you switch off your brain and like action scenes aka typical Hollywood.

Just saw it and I must say that it was very satisfying culmination for the buildup that each individual characters movies were during these years. Great, well shot action, humorous, well paced and all that. Come to think now - with such cast and characters it could have easily become really messy.

Also despite the fact 3d was post-converted i found it really enjoyable, probably due to how subtle it was.

Decent movie!!

Those ultra big reptile/caterpillar things that came out with a big bang. But they should be awarded with the most useless monsters of the year. What a waste and got ownd by hulk.

Also when hulk pushed Thor to side, the animation was poor almost bordering ridiculous. Public in hall shared a few laughs though!

Wow, I thought it was a joke that there was going to be an Ant Man movie. I'm not so sure that's gonna be a great one... :-\

I dont see a ant-man movie being great either... a guy who can shrink and grow, and controls ants..... like aquaman, but even gayer :p

Yeah, let me get my tickets now... LOL I mean, if it was done as a kid's property, it might be decent (For all I know they are), but I just don't think this is going to be something that adults are going to want to see. His powers are silly, he was never likable in the comics, and his costume has always been ridiculous. Where do I sign up? lol

Black Widow is so sexy!!

She is that - however, she was a classically-trained *ballerina* (Bolshoi, no less) before the KGB (and then SHIELD) got her.Most fitting-though-clich? moments in the film (so far - watching a CAM cap as I type this):Tony and Pepper - very much the "Bickersons" of MARVEL (or Mr, and Mrs. Smith, or even Boris and Doris Tasker).Agent Coulson - a cross between David Axelrod and Rahm Emmanuel.Steve Rogers vs. Tony Stark - two brothers from the same mother. Fury vs. Loki - Apparently those two have a PAST (according to no less than Fury himself). I know that THOR and Loki have a past; however, what's the deal between Loki and Fury?Bruce Banner vs. Tony Stark - A man driven by fear vs. Mister Anti-Crap. Yes - Banner has a reason for his fear; even Stark gets that. However, he STILL warns Banner that his life on the Royal Barge on the Egyptian River has a finite time length.

Apparently the North American release will have a new scene at the end of the credits

Warning there are spoilers in the video.

I can't say anything about it because I don't want to be spoiled myself, so.. yeah.

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
