AniNate Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I think this movie's really beyond criticism at this point. Whatever "technical problems" it had, no one gives a crap but film academics. The film's a huge hit and received high critical praise. Just give it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffMan Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Any technical shortcomings are certainly overshadowed by the great character writing and performances Joss got from his actors. I'll take that kind of balance any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It's an A film. I great culmination of build up that Joss Whedon masterfully crafted and maneuvered. I can't take any grade below B with any seriousness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Considering this has very very few low ratings, its a crowd pleasing film to the extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Having seen Joss Whedon's work with TA has anyone gone and checked out Serenity for the first time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I've seen this film five times now and I think every time I have picked up something new. I think the humour in this makes it one of the funniest films of the year as well. And like everyone has mentioned, the Hulk/Thor dynamic in here is brilliant. But everyone has their moments. It's such a perfectly executed film. I can't remember the last time I saw a film 5 times in the theater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkshop36 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Having seen Joss Whedon's work with TA has anyone gone and checked out Serenity for the first time?I watched it after seeing TA, but it wasn't the first time. I actually really enjoy Serenity. As you watch it you can see why Marvel chose him for this movie. He knows how to balance out multiple characters so that they all get their chance to shine.

Lordmandeep Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Yeah he could have made the story better however the way he got the characters going and the way he set up the action was amazing. I remember when Whedon was announced for TA, many people thought the action would suck as Whedon could not do action...

Gopher Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I rewatched it. It flows so well the second time around that it's pretty much cemented as my favorite non-Nolan comic book movie. It's like Whedon wrote and illustrated a great comic book and put it on screen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yeah I think with the release of TDKR I doubt it will hurt TA in any way.Back in 2008, the TDK storm did not stop people from loving IM1.TA will easily remain one of the most crowd pleasing blockbusters in a long time.

IndustriousAngel Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Is it at all possible that he could get an oscar nod for best screen play?I don't think so - the script was ok, many nice one-liners but also often cheesy. Sometimes the actors were given lines that contradicted their characters just to get some tension or laughs from a scene. It did work because of the superhero context - after all, for just about every superhero story conflicts have to be engineered out of thin air - but in a general literary context, the script is really not that good.

Hatebox Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) ^ I agree. If I had issues with this movie they were script based - the first half hour is fairly lackluster, for instance. The action was so much fun it made me forget that ultimately I didn't care about the story. I hope that's not the case for the sequel, but for now it wasn't a problem.
