Avengers is why they invented the term INSTANT CLASSIC

It's so good to see Marvel's The Avengers and the term INSTANT CLASSIC is forever linked when describing this amazing movie.

I don't remember the last film that instantly registered this much this fast and stayed this talked about even over a year later. The other top box office champs did the slow burn and grew on people. It's well noted that Avatar was simply a gimmick FX film that everyone had to see but most agree it's a bad film and was terribly written.

Reading these boards over the past year, I see a lot of comparisons to Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark and that seems to be right on the mark looking back. Most everyone loves Avengers no matter age or gender. That's also a very tough thing to pull off considering the genre and subject matter.

Admit it everyone, Avengers is an outstanding film on every level and truly worthy to be called an instant classic.

Well said, although I don't think Avator was necessarily a 'gimmick' film. It wasn't terrible.

Next to terrible is terrible enough.

As has been noted, "All and all... it's a great time to be a comic book fan at the box office."

This much is true and at least we can all agree upon that.

What can I say about the performances? Everybody is great and the chemistry is different between every single lead character. That’s just an exquisite thing to savor because it’s done right in this case.
It’s amazing how they blended the different elements of their own universes together in this movie. They did so with heart and intelligence.

Geeves said the exact same thing.

I have to respectfully disagree. It is a decent summer comic book movie and should never be described as a classic. The writing and acting are just okay, nothing special. This movie isn't as good as Star Wars or Raiders.

Thanks for the civil post and respectful tone! It's refreshing around here.

And as for the final sphere, I can only say it gets harder once the natural communities of college and hometown are gone...It takes work and commitment, demands toleration for human frailties, forgiveness for the inevitable disappointment and betrayals that come even with the best of relationships.

Nay. It's no instant classic. That's crazy talk. Aces movie though.

Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.

For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. A lot of people never get past this phase; they quit. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know it’s normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions.

Rumor has it Avengers is the one I'm leaving you for...

Seriously though, Avengers was an instant classic last year and is now considered simply a classic by most.

RUMOR HAS IT! RUMOR HAS IT! RUMOR HAS IT! RUMOR HAS IT! RUMOR HAS IT! RUMOR HAS IT! RUMOR HAS IT! RUMOR HAS IT! RUMOR HAS IT! RUMOR HAS IT! RUMOR HAS IT!

[–] Uberiffic 11 years ago

Hell yes, over a year later and it's still being talked about.
