The Avengers

I'll watch it, just like I have (eventually) seen most of the others. However, Edward Norton taking a pass pops up a BIG red flag on the film. He seems to have a good sense of whether, or not, to work on a project.

I actually look forward to clocker and Idol's reviews of the movie more than the show itself.

For an unusual but riveting Edward Norton performance, check out Stone, the interplay between his and Robert De Niro's character is fascinating.

Thanks for the heads-up, Art. I like everyone in it, but let the lowish IMDB score push me away. Will grab it for tonight.

You do realise that there is not one single explosion/person transforming/robot transforming/alien or CGI effect in the entire film. This may be the source of the low IMDB score, since even IMDB has been invaded by the evil teen horde.
It is a gritty film, the characters are not likable and there isn't really a happy ending, much like real life, so I guess all the fantasists feel ripped off for the lack of an escape from reality.

Such a sentence nearly deserves a spoiler tag.

I've actually enjoyed Mila in almost every role I've seen her in (the zombie series got a bit tiring, but she wasn't really to blame, IMO). I can't say that about many actresses, but I believe she has talent that pushes her well beyond the "pretty face/hot bod" trap so many women fall into. She has not become a caricature of herself, either.

Thanks again for the recommendation, I'll be watching it within the next 15 minutes.

Four superheroes in a single script against a common villain doesn't sound like a very bright idea to me, anyhow if they had to do that, they could have also introduced "Agent Smith" from Matrix, that would have made things interesting.

I'm so excited to watch this and love that they kept Loki as a villain, in a nod to the original Avenger story. I hope in the sequel they get Wolverine and Spiderman so its more like the 'modern' avengers. And Luke Cage of course

I'm excited .Apparently there's a little comic book geek in all of us.

You'd think there would have been more build-up for a movie like this...

A movie like what? Btw Hunger Games just the record for advance sales so clearly the majority of the current movie going audience is made up of literate girls and queers.
