Avengers Is A Movie With A Master Legacy, The Best Ever On Many Levels!


The Avengers is still the king of the genre all-time and probably will remain so until Avengers: Age Of Ultron tries to take the title away. Sure, Iron Man 3, The Wolverine and Thor: The Dark World all are high quality films. Yet, none managed to deliver at the level that Avengers did.

Even prior, films like Iron Man, X2 and Spider-Man 2 were amazing. Yet, Avengers topped them all.

Honestly, nothing the character of Batman has ever been in has been in the mix for the title this century. Batman 89 set the genre on its ear and was grand fun back in the day. Once X-Men opened the door with an assist from Blade, it's been a new ball game. A game were the Nolan Batman fit in but has since been deemed overrated by most people.

Case in point most recently, TDKR will forever be known as that disappointing third film that no one outside of the fanboy community likes and the one that resulted in that horrible shooting tragedy. As has now been officially noted in the history books, TDKR's RT score is elevated only because of intimidation and threats that critics wanted to avoid. That's THE legacy of things like TDKR. I know that hurts Nolan fanboys but often the truth hurts. They have started to learn to live with it but they do so with bitter anger toward Marvel movies past, present and future. The fact that they are STILL trolling here and reading things like this says it all. They can't even find contentment on their own boards and pages. That appears to be their legacy as a fan base. More's the pity.

It ended Phase One with the best ever.

ANOTHER!

The Marvel universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.

reply

No one should ever doubt that this film is the greatest of all time.

reply

Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.

Well, if everybody felt threatened about TDKR it would be a 100% in every critic agreggate site and considered the greatest film of our time, so no. Absolute nonsense. You are nervous because apparently Nolan fanboys are posting on this board.

And what does that mean?

Anyway, I can name at least 20 comic book adaptations that are better than this decent at best but laughably overrated film.
It probably cracks my top 10 superhero movies though. But thats it.

Do you see what happens, Larry? Do you see what happens when you *beep* a stranger in the ass?!

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a faith in Marvel that never wavers.

Days of Future Past is nothing to sneeze at.

reply

Sometimes, sneezing induces true pain.

NYC firemen are screening this again tonight.





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

reply

Everyone in every profession loves this film.

reply

That's the way to bounce back and a heck of a thing.

reply

As rumored, Disney is acquiring top YouTube content provider Maker Studios. The media giant is paying $500M up-front + up to $450M in performance earn-outs.











I accept your surrender.

reply

And why not? Having amassed $2.46 billion at the box office, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is now officially the highest grossing franchise in domestic history!

reply

Hot damn that's HUGE!

reply

I can't wait to get more footage from Age of Ultron that I read about them shooting today. Cripes!

reply

Age of Ultron is mentioned in The Walt Disney Company earnings report for the second quarter. The head guy said he has seen footage and it's the best thing he's ever seen.

reply

Disney has to be rated a buy at this stage.

reply

That is one awesome awesome legacy that this film more than lives up to.

reply

What would Avi Arad think?

reply

Kevin Feige wants the Arad family as far away from Marvel characters as possible.

reply

Hey, another legacy of this movie is the Agents of SHIELD TV show. How's that for laying on even more greatness to this film?

It was no surprise that ABC renewed it for season two, but I was still happy to hear that we're getting a second season! This show is AWESOME and completely underrated.

reply

The Agents of SHIELD finale may have been the best I've seen in years. I loved how they tied events from this film in to the finale.

Especially with Fury showing up and actually taking part!

Having all the Kree stuff leak in to next season will also link Guardians of The Galaxy. That's what Coulson was writing on the wall.

reply

Skye is Inhuman and they are tied to the Kree.

reply

They roam from town to town!

The wander.

reply

The previews to season two of AOS all show the writing but do not say Kree.

What else needs be said that hasn't been said?

No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined. No true movie fan's life is complete until they see Avengers.

It has all the charm and savvy of Iron Man but it mixes in the action and intensity of Avengers. It’s the perfect blend.

Don't forget this week that beyond the headline from the high court on Aereo, media attorneys will be busy looking at the nuts and bolts of the ruling. The legal precedent set in the case could guide how content is distributed and fees sliced up in the future. This effects Disney/Marvel.

Speaking of legacy, great news today for Disney and thus Marvel...

Today the Supreme Court of the United States issued a ruling in the legal tussle between streaming TV service Aereo and major network broadcasters.

SCOTUS ruled that the decision of the second-circuit, which upheld that Aereo was within the bounds of the Copyright Act, shall be reversed. It was a 6-3 decision, with Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito dissenting.

The Avengers is still the king of the genre all-time and probably will remain so until Avengers: Age Of Ultron tries to take the title away. Sure, Iron Man 3, The Wolverine and Thor: The Dark World all are high quality films. Yet, none managed to deliver at the level that Avengers did.

Even prior, films like Iron Man, X2 and Spider-Man 2 were amazing. Yet, Avengers topped them all.

Honestly, nothing the character of Batman has ever been in has been in the mix for the title this century. Batman 89 set the genre on its ear and was grand fun back in the day. Once X-Men opened the door with an assist from Blade, it's been a new ball game. A game were the Nolan Batman fit in but has since been deemed overrated by most people.

Case in point most recently, TDKR will forever be known as that disappointing third film that no one outside of the fanboy community likes and the one that resulted in that horrible shooting tragedy. As has now been officially noted in the history books, TDKR's RT score is elevated only because of intimidation and threats that critics wanted to avoid. That's THE legacy of things like TDKR. I know that hurts Nolan fanboys but often the truth hurts. They have started to learn to live with it but they do so with bitter anger toward Marvel movies past, present and future. The fact that they are STILL trolling here and reading things like this says it all. They can't even find contentment on their own boards and pages. That appears to be their legacy as a fan base. More's the pity.

Avengers legacy is being the king of the genre.

Life means to have something definite to do—a mission to fulfilled—and in the measure in which we avoid setting our life to something, we make it empty. Human life, by its very nature, has to be dedicated to something. Try dedication to a great movie like this one and future efforts.
