So why are Americans getting it last? I saw it last week.


Best line of the movie wasn't even a line. It was a clink sound. Twice in a row. Everyone started laughing at the expression on Loki's face.

I thought the sequence starting from Hawkeye shooting at Loki and ending with Hulk attacking Loki was the best action sequence I remember ever seeing, just because of how much stuff happened between those two in a very short time and how well they meshed together.

The guy playing Coulson said something about the character not really being dead. Heard from a friend, don't know what the source was.

Also, Marvel's Thor and Captain America have never really been my favourites, and Hemsworth I've disliked in other movies, but in this movie both characters were good. (Especially after Cap lost that stupid half-mask).

I wouldn't be surprised. Part of the motivation that got the Avengers to... umm... assemble, was Coulson's death. It was already indicated that Fury used the collectible cards as a prop to push them towards uniting and it was Coulson's idea in the first place that they needed that push. Also, we never actually saw anything but his legs being dragged off. Could've just been unconscious?

A trick to combat piracy? A lot of people don't like waiting until a movie comes to them, and non-Americans are so used to it so they are accustomed to using piracy.

Or something with another movie starting in the US a week before?

I'm sure these things are worked out with big cost-benefit spreadsheets which work out the ideal time to release it in any given location in order to maximise profits, taking into account other movies, other events, holidays, even the weather!

And yet, it's this exact method of thinking that results in rampant piracy. It's deliciously ironic

I'm glad I avoided spoilers before seeing the movie. I saw it tonight and thought it was really, really great. I don't think I've seen the actor playing banner/hulk before, but I've never seen the hulk portrayed so well anywhere, ever. Every scene with him in was a showstopper, from him hunting Black Widow (no wonder she got into a bit of a funk) through to the Loki scene, Hulk was a pretty terrifying character!

All the characters were good, the scenes were great.

If I would have changed anything it might be to have given Renner more lines (although credit to him - this was a better hawkeye than I used to read in the 70's)

Cheers

Ruffalo has been given a contract for six movies with Marvel.

So that would be this one, a Hulk movie, an Avengers sequel, possibly an Iron Man sequel since they had him leave with him at the end, and then still two more.

I think because Disney didnt want to slaughter the Hunger Games, and every other movie that came out last week.

There are reports that the US release of the Avengers has ANOTHER post credit scene. It's nothing earth shattering but it does seem to be the punchline of some joke since..

it's of the Avengers eating Shawarma at some deli?!?
