Dementeleus Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 If he's grading on an absolute scale, 6.5 is above average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Well its hard to tell...Based on entertainment I give Avengers a 10Based on comparison to all films ever made in terms of story and such a 7.5meaning around 8.5/10.

Impact Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Still seeing reports of people who have yet to see it.Sadly...I don't see any status about Nick Fury! (Okay I don't about Hawkeye either but Nick Fury sounded more funny) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 No.. Above average would be about 7 to 7.5, not 6.5.. For a movie this good with all the right ingriedients, 6.5 is just too low and it really is.. 5 is average for me. Plus I not a huge action guy if read my review I list the positives and negatives. I think more blockbusters should be like Avengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give that score to "The Hunger Games" - it was kind of interesting, but not really my thing. However, I loved "Avengers". I wasn't crazy about IM2, "Thor" or "Captain America" movies - I'd give them around that score too (maybe a notch higher), but Avengers was just brilliant. My friend, who really doesn't enjoy superhero movies much, LOVED this film. Still, this is your opinion and it's valid. Sorry you didn't like it that much.

doctoru2 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) I am not action person and it is better than most action films.I fully get that. That's why I gave the example from my friend. Action movies are fine, but he's not into superhero movies. Yet several days later, he was still raving about this film. Based on what you wrote, it seems you gave it the highest rating you could - for an action film. :)And, as I wrote, I felt the same about "Hunger Games". Something was missing from that movie - not sure what. But it didn't really leave me "hungry" for more (sorry, bad pun).Edited to apologize for slightly deviating from the thread's topic. Can't wait to read more crowd reports. I'm curious if a $100M second weekend is possible. Edited May 11, 2012 by doctoru2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Avengers 3D10:15pm, 30 people in a 500seater (very warm evening, party night everywhere - the street cafes were packed)Trailers:Rock of Ages (I'll skip that though I have to admit I like Cruise going over-the-top)The Amazing Spider-Man (I'll skip that too if reviews are not excellent - doesn't look new or interesting)Men in Black III (Boring trailer, sad)The film:Review in reviews thread. We had to watch it in 3D since there is no 2D option. The 3D was not bad apart from some of the chase scenes between skycrapers which looked like toy battles. Still, I despise fake 3D but my ladyfriend wanted to see Avengers so here you go ... entertaining film; I liked it and some scenes were really fun, but she told me she liked the single-hero films better, especially Thor and Iron Man. The Hulk was everybody's darling, his scenes got the best audience reactions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarnadine Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I saw The Avengers again on Friday at 7:40 and Dark Shadows today at noon.Avengers- 7:40 showing in Ultra AVX 3D (used my Scene points so it was free, otherwise ticket price is $17.99)- SOLD OUTtrailersBattleship- Some reaction from some of the younger guys. I'm guessing they are Transformers core audience.TDKR- Much bigger reaction across the boardFrankenweenie- I liked it, there was some reaction.The movie- Crowd reaction was overwhelmingly positive, again. Lots of laughs during the movie. I wonder what % were repeat viewers as more than half the crowd stayed until the 2nd bonus scene played, probably less than 20% stayed that long on opening night.Dark Shadows- Noon showing, maybe 20% fullTrailers (only caught the last 2)Paranorman- Not bad, heard a little chatter.Gangster Squad- I was surprised to see this one, it looks even better on the big screen. Even with such a small crowd I could hear some comments. Definite interest.The movie- It wasn't "bad", but there was very little especially good about it either. It was pretty quiet both during the movie and just after it ended. I guess the best description of the crowds reaction would be "muted" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpospoke Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Avengers3:30 showing. Mother's Day 3D 70% fullShowed up kinda late for the 3:00pm showing in 2D and discovered it was sold out. ...So had to settle for 3D. At least the ticket is cheap at my theater ($7.50). I hate 3D so I can't really give an unbiased opinion on it here.Trailers:Spider-ManBatmanExpendables 2BraveAudience didn't react to any trailers. Less comic fans in this showing I think. Lots of families. More people stayed for the after-credits stuff than at the Midnight showing last week...weird. Most seemed to miss some of the early jokes about "flying monkeys" and "Gallaga".

Incarnadine Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 When you say TDKR got a much bigger reaction, please tell me this isn't one of those deals where people say "The audience got all quiet when TDKR came on like they should" meaning, just because an audience is silent during a trailer doesn't mean it's receiving any better reaction than it did before.. I think people are lying about this and are saying this just to make sure that interest in BATMAN 3 isn't waning in favor of another movie coming along and beating it, meaning TA.. I've seen TA 3 times now and every time they show TDKR, it doesn't exactly light up the audience in cheers and whatnot andn that's not lying either.. It's true.. When you have a crowd of 410 people the reaction isn't going to be "silence". For Battleship I heard a few positive comments, but they were clearly coming from younger guys. For Batman it was more like people saying "I'll be seeing this", they didn't start cheering or give a spontaneous standing ovation. The comments seemed to come from all around me and loud enough to hear so I'd say that interest was high. Then again, it's Batman so it could easily be them reacting to just that rather than that specific trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Stitzer Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The Dictator 7:15PM Wednesday, May 16th AMC Boston Common 19 & Lie-MAX Theater Capacity: ~250 (98% full; nearly all seats full, people all ages over 17, and mostly male audience) Ticket Price: $11.50 Concessions: Blue Rasbery ICEE, $0 (Stubs reward points) TRAILERS: Seeking a Friend For the End of the World - the movie looks great, got some talking from the audience. The Campaign - this got belly laughs from the audience, definitely one of the better reactions I've seen for a comedy trailer. Ted - Mark Wahlberg recorded a special AMC announcement before the trailer laden with offensive curse words before laying an innocent, charming smile--this got a wonderful reception from the audience. The R-rated trailer was hilarious and got the best reaction from the crowd, one guy even clapped, and there was lots of talking that ensued. That's My Boy - this looks silly (Happy Madison, big surprise) and got the weakest reaction. Anchorman: The Legend Continues - this was a fun teaser, got some talking from the audience. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - same 'ole trailer, lots of talking from the audience. G.I. Joe: Retaliation - I think this is one solid trailer, and I may even be one of the few people who saw/enjoyed Rise of Cobra. I'm getting a bad vibe from everyone else, though, because there was no discernible reaction for this from the crowd. THE FILM: The Dictator plays a lot like an over-offensive, contemporary, politically-charged version of Eddie Murphy's far superior Coming to America. I'll be honest: I laughed my butt off at several of the scenes in this picture, but a good chunk of the offensive humor also was lost on the audience and felt more "Happy Madison" than "Ali G" (if anyone understands the difference). Nobody sells satire today quite as memorably as Sasha Baron Cohen and like BORAT & Brüno before it, The Dictator takes some moments to identify several imperfections within American politics & culture. Still, I felt a little let down story-wise with some careless plot inconsistencies and juvenile situational humor. I was pretty sure Anna Faris was finished playing low brow Scary Movie-type roles, but The Dictator proved me wrong. My critiques aside, the audience really dug up the film. I was concerned about how offensive some of this material would be to diverse audiences like this one--I'm talking epic South Park episode offensive--but everyone seemed to love it. The black couple sitting in front of me were hyperventilating during several offensive remarks during a black man's funeral. The Asian college student sitting to my left slapped his knee at the countless outrageous jokes disrespectfully directed toward Chinese people throughout the film. And even I smirked (shamefully) at some anti-semetic remarks that made their way in the film, too. Whatever--The Dictator is exactly the movie you're expecting it to be. So if it's the kind of film that's on your radar, than I'm sure you're going to love it. And believe me, the experience is enriched by a large crowd like this one; go see this in theaters if you're going to see it at all. Experience - 27/30 Story/Writing - 12/20 Acting - 6/15 Tech Specs (Cinematography, Editing, Effects) - 8/15 Direction - 7/10 Music - 7/10 THE VERDICT: 67/100, C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
