Precisely!

Got my tickets for tonight from the local Cinemark theater, no Avengers 3D glasses...just the regular black ones. Whack! I'm hoping when I line up tonight they'll have them, as the clerk that I got my tickets from, had no clue what I was talking about when I asked about them.

Ok so i am here in Amc tysons and they started letting people in to the IMAX 3d screen at 9pm. There is an outside line forming for etx and 3d showings. I checked the avengers marathon screen and its packed. The imax screen is slowly filling up. got a free cool poster..but no collectible glasses. oh well.

Free poster?

We were planning on getting there by 10 pm, might have to move it at 9 now.

Yes there seems to be a few posters ..an imax exclusive group shot . Double sided posters containing iron man nick fury cap america and so on so look out for that. They got plenty.

Not going until Saturday afternoon. The lower-priced tickets make it easier to accept.

Knock it off. If your own statement is true, and no one knows whether it is or not yet, Avengers will wind up as the better film. The movie-snobbish "director" argument is nonsense.

Waiting in line for it now. It's crazy busy, they even closed off part of the parking lot for lines. Also someone came dressed up as Green Lantern

Just got back from it. Pretty damn good. Although I think the plot was clearly formulaic, and it had lots of obvious foreshadowing to future events in the movie.

Didn't get to watch the post-credits scene(s) since AMC were dumbasses and cut the credits off. ers.

If you're blind to see that, that's your problem.

Spoken like a true movie snob.

Also: just got to sit in a real chair for the first time in about 14 hours. The Avengers is a ton of fun -- I loved the entire thing.

holy shit you sat thru the marathon?

apparently lots of people did to the marathon as well as I snuck into a screen and saw the theater packed.

Just came back and I must say I enjoyed the movie. Worth a second viewing.

Hulk stole the show at the end battle. However I just don't like this version of the Hulk....Hulk needs to be an uncontrollable monster. Loved the Hulk vs Thor fight. Loki getting ed up by the hulk was awesome.
Also they changed the logo for the main title ... I do not know why they did this as the one seen in the trailers worked perfectly.


They showed the following trailers
TDKR trailer 1
The Amazing Spiderman Trailer 2
Dark shadows
Frankenweenie
The hobbit
Prometheus trailer 2
MIB3 trailer 2

Glad studios released the newest trailers online.



and some pics for fun

(she actually had the best costume...not bad looking either)

I ing loved the movie from start to finish, especially how humorous it was. Thor is so goddamn funny. I couldn't even pinpoint one favorite scene because I pretty much loved them all.

I'm kind of upset that I didn't get any cool glasses and the previews were shit. We got:

TDKR
Frankenweenie
Brave
Battleship

And I believe that was it. Also, the two post credit scenes were amazing. Let's just say I had a HUGE mark out moment for the first scene and the second one was just downright hilarious.

Got back from it, and IMO it's easily better than all the other Marvel Studios movies combined. Had some good humor, good action, and I can't really think of any parts where I was bored.

I also liked that Tony Stark was less of an asshole and more of a smartass.

No new Spider-Man trailer, which was disappointing. I know I can watch it online, but I prefer to see it a theater. Did get TDKR trailer though. Everyone was being loud, but once that trailer showed up the theater was silent, then there was cheering and applause after. I can only think of one other time when that's happened for a preview.

Did the marathon. Fun night.

saw it at midnite and it was good, a lil too many cheesy moments but still fun but def cant wait for dark knight. heres the trailers i saw:
Battleship
The Dictator
Dark Knight
Prometheus
Spider Man
Frankenweenie
Brave

SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was such a good fun movie to watch!

3D was beautiful! Esp the last 30 mins!

Finally, a film that felt like a real comicbook movie!

Best line: "...I'm always angry!" BAM! <- GOOSEBUMPS!

Epic. This is truly a live comic book movie. The most fun movie experience I have had. Although I'm still looking forward to TDKR, I can't see how I'll end up liking it better than this...specially since the trailers for it seem to make it look pretty bland.

Got back from the Marathon not too long ago. It was only 5 movies (they cut out Hulk), but its ok. I still had a good time and our theater wasn't too crowded. They handed out the special glasses to the IMAX and RDX folks but a guy was kind enough to give me a pair as we were leaving

It was fun getting to know other ppl in the theater and talking about what we liked, didn't like and generally nerding out

We didn't get ANY previews at all...I was kind of disappointed cuz I wanted to see TDKR preview :( but oh well.

@ITDEFX - Which AMC did you go to? It looks oddly familiar

Only the uneducated refer to films as movies.

So that means the vast majority are now "uneducated" since that's what people call them.

I agree with Golden Idol though. The story and themes that Nolan induces into his film are meant to make the audience think more after the movie closes.
