The Avengers: The Motion Picture Discussion Thread- Open SPOILERS -enter at own risk!

I dunno, that whole end battle scene...with the portal, the big snake thing, the city, the aliens...not saying anyone ripped off each other, because, let's face it TF3's end battle wasn't all that new....

But still. Joss did the same scene, but correctly.

 

[carbo-fation]

Celtic just has a hard-on for Bay. I swear, every thread he brings up that asshat and his lame movies.

Avengers>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>dog ____>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>T3

 

[CelticPredator]

^ No ____ on both accounts.

Plus, I didn't bring it up. So, deal with that.

I totally see similarities, not so diffcult to see either.

Just because they're similar doesn't mean Avengers isn't a ton lot better of a movie, which it is.

 

[CelticPredator]

But The Avengers did it better. Easily. Funny how people take offense to pointing out similar things from a fantastic film, to a not so fantastic film.

As I watched Avengers, Transformers didn't once cross my mind at all.

 

[jye4ever]

If Avengers joins the all time worldwide top 5 club, it will be amazing.

1. Avatar
2. Titanic
3. Harry Potter 7
4. Transformers 3
5. LOTR 3

Avatar and Transformers shouldn't even be on that list.

When I saw the Battleship trailer...Transformers totally crossed my mind. Avengers... not at all.

BS totally

Transformers just because of the high rise destruction and portal.

Here is something to think about...so far...80% of all movie viewing done this weekend domestically was watching The Avengers.

I've not even seen TF3, and Transformers crossed my mind in the final battle with that huge serpent ship/alien thingy

But this was better than any TF movie I ever saw

LOL...they ran out of seats to sell at IMAX theaters.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Ditto!

It was better then any Summer movie I ever saw.

It's the new standard for summer action flicks.

I enjoyed both of those films but them being ahead of ROTK sucks as I know its a better film. If The Avengers makes the top 5 its going to knock ROTK out which again sucks but at least The Avengers is really a badass film.

 

[carbo-fation]

Don't worry, I'm sure the Hobbit will make it's way up there as well, just like TDKR.

 

[CelticPredator]

Prometheus > everything,

 

[intothevoid]

Prometheus > everything,

Whether or not the film turns out to be the best, there's no way it will make more money than any of Hobbit/TDKR/Avengers, because it's likely going to be an R rated film

 

[VS1976]

Bay SHOULD hire Joss to write for him. ____, that's the one single problem with all of Bay's later films. ____ scripts, with nothing inside them.

But you can't deny the plot similarities between this and TF3. I don't think that's a bad thing, because everything was so perfect, and worked on every level. It set the bar for summer blockbusters.

Period.

In the final battle scene, I thought I was watching a Michael Bay film
