4) Have the trailers and clips spoiled much?

1) the after credits scene was meh for me;
2) Score had some good moments, but Armstrong's Incredible is better.
3) Favorite? HULK!!!!! Cap is great too, as is Widow. Hawkeye was probably my least favorite, but still good.
4) The trailers and clips have not, but I'd suggest you stop watching them. I will say -- and I hope they keep this out -- they haven't shown the best part of the movie AT ALL (except for a few snippets).

En tous cas je suis content pour Whedon, j'espère que ça va lancer sa carrière au ciné.
Entre le Avengers et Cabin in the woods, ça s'annonce plutôt bien parti

Do you like how the Cap's costume look in the movie? There's alot of debates about this as well.
Yes I did.

It's paced so beautifully and seamlessly that I have a hard time telling you what act one and act two are, but I can feel it. It's weird -- this is my job at work everyday and I was annoyed at how seamless the movie rose and fell.
Awesome,I was so worried about it!!

I notice that no one has raved about characterization after these screenings, and that Bosef himself somewhat sidestepped the question. "Not like TRANSFORMERS" doesn't mean it has good characterization. So it is most likely a big, fun action movie, which is pretty much what it looks like. That's not a bad thing, but it's a little disappointing with Whedon at the helm.

Bosef:The characters are themselves for sure. They are sharply defined and everyone has a clear voice and a clear POV from the start and it's amazing how much Whedon services and defines in a short period of time. Not all of them have HUGE character arcs, maybe perhaps Tony having the largest.

THE AVENGERS Tracking For A $125 Million Opening Weekend

THE AVENGERS Tracking For A $125 Million Opening Weekend

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=57798

Ce serait léger quand même. En dessous de l'opening week-end d'Iron Man 2 (qui a fait 128 millions) d'ailleurs.
Après à voir si la prévision inclue les midnight showings (et ça peut changer la donne quand un Hunger Games fait quasiment 20 millions sur l'exercice).

Quoiqu'il en soit, ça dépendra sûrement aussi des critiques mais je crois qu'en dessous de 150 millions sur 3 jours (avec les midnight showings) pour un film de ce genre, exploité par ailleurs en 3D, le B.O. ne sera pas satisfaisant.

L'article de Deadline sur le sujet (un peu plus détaillé):

http://www.deadline.com/2012/04/avengers-tracking-like-superhero-125m-opening-weekend-with-four-quadrant-appeal/

Avec ce passage intéressant et prometteur:

Citation :

Right now Disney and theatre owners are adding screens every day for the release whose online pre-sales of tickets are already selling out. Midnight show business is expected to be phenomenal. Exactly how much the studio can gross for the first weekend depends on how many screenings each theater can pack into 72 hours by finding enough staff willing to work the extra hours and keep the pic running continuously.

On doit quand même y croire pas mal du côté de chez Disney pour pousser le film comme ça alors même qu'il était déjà prévu qu'il ouvre sur un nombre très important d'écrans. Croisons les doigts que ce soit une indication sur la qualité du film.

Bah écoutes vu les retours dythirambiques, on peut penser que c'est au moins un trés bon film, je pense non?

Je ne connais pas spécialement les gens qui sont intervenus depuis la premiere d'hier soir et pour être franc je ne fouille pas trop pour éviter les spoilers. Et via les réseaux sociaux, des réactions dithyrambiques on en a eu plein jusqu'à sur des films comme Green Lantern donc perso je vais essayer d'éviter de m'enflammer.

Non, je t'assure y a jamais eu ca sur green lantern, et ca vient surement pas de gens qui ont dit que ce dernier était good (qui étaient des "anonymes" pour la plupart )Ce sont la les plus grands blogger et journalistes du métier entre autre:) (je pense que tu connais des gens comme Edgard Wright ou Devin Farraci pour ne citer qu'eux. )


ps: y a aucun spoilers, ce sont soit des tweets, soit des posts spoilers free

Ok, ok. Ca a donc évidement tendance à me rassurer, et à me conforter dans l'idée qu'il faut s'attendre à un premier week-end à plus de 150 millions.

Oui effectivement je viens de voir les réacs sur le lien posté à la page précédente, hormis Farraci qui a l'air d'avoir aimé mais d'être un peu blasé c'est plutôt dithyrambique et jusqu'à des signatures très connues (j'ai vu dans le tas il y a même un gars de Variety).

Vraiment content pour Whedon qui devrait définitivement être lancé au ciné cette fois et pour Ruffalo parce que sont perso à l'air d'être celui qui reçoit le plus d'éloges.

An Unstoppable Force of Awesomeness! All Hail The New King!

I have got to tell anyone who will listen that this is one of THE best adventure movies I've ever seen. It's almost impossible to convey how pumped I am now that I've seen it. I purposefully avoid hyping myself for movies because when expectations are too high, nothing seems to be able to reach them. I usually avoid the hype train whenever possible. That said, I was jacked to see this movie and was fully aboard the hype train. It couldn't be helped. So, I was certainly open to intense disappointment had this movie not been good. I'm so happy to report just the opposite has happened.

The only word I can think of to describe this movie is AWESOME. It's amazing work and everything I had hoped for and more. It's exceptional entertainment for the uninitiated but it has everything a fanboy could want to be sure. It has every little nuance of what a fanboy wants to see. One of the MANY things I loved was the tension and flat out conflict that arises between team members. It's not a two dimensional "team wonderful that bands together to fight crime ho ho ho." Most don't like each other at fist and there is so much texture to be played. That is great because so many of these characters are larger than life. They have egos and the big guns aren't used to working with other people or even playing by the rules. Stark, Thor and Banner all work "the other side of the fence" so to speak. Then there's the Widow, Hawkeye and Captain America who are used to following orders and playing within a command structure. They are all thrown together in a wonderful and, best of all, believable fashion. Again, more than I ever dreamed possible.

The entire cast really delivered. You needed more than just action actors or stunt doubles to play all these parts. The pathos is there but so are the timing and true deep performances. Look, I was missing Ed Norton as much as anyone on that hype train I talked about but I'm so happy to say that Mark Ruffalo won me over. I hope he's locked up for the long haul because we don't need any more changes. Three was the lucky number for movie Banners. Every other actor in Avnegers that we've seen before is BETTER than their previous incarnation (EVERY single one) with the possible exception of RDJ as Stark. He's great but it's hard to top his take on the character from the original Iron Man in an ensemble movie. I also have to fully disclose that I'm insanely attracted to Scarlett Johansson. I thought her Widow character was amazing but I'm definitely judging that through rose colored glasses. The character arcs that run there course during this film will surprise a lot of general audiences expecting nothing more than a Transformers type popcorn scarfdown.

I honestly don't want to give away ANY of the movie with this review because this is one film that needs every scene to be savored. Do yourself a favor and remain unspoiled. It's how I saw the movie (apart from what the trailers showed) and even though you're obviously reading this review, read no others with any kind of spoilers whatsoever. Experience the awesomeness for yourself. Avengers as a movie and as a team on screen is an unstoppable force. I'm just going to say, Hulk & Thor combination equals AWESOME and leave it at that. This movie defines MUST SEE.
