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.

Marvel is adding to the INSTANT CLASSIC list every year.

INSTANT CLASSICS = Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, ALL THREE Captain America films, Iron Man, Iron Man 3 and Thor.

All 14 Marvel movies can be considered genre classics at this point. How incredible is that?








Some minds are like concrete. Thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

I wouldn't put The Incredible Hulk into that category and Thor 2 is borderline at best. I really wish they wouldn't have had the problems they did with Thor 2. 😞

Indeed. It's basically everything spectacular and entertaining movies were meant to be (several years ago I never thought I'd be saying this about a superhero movie but Marvel has clearly taken it to another level).

The Outstanding film is now standing outside the top 250.

Still the best CBM ever made.
