Is this the most enjoyable movie you've ever seen at the cinema?

I'd have to rank it up there with the first time I seen The Matrix, I wasn't expecting much and was rather lukewarm about going to see it, but my god it blew me away! I'd a similar experience with The Matrix. Other honorable mentions would be Gladiator and The Dark Knight. What about you guys?

"A Legend, Mr Wayne".

I remember when I thought and said this film wasn't going to be good because I was unsure of how it was going to turn out. Glad I was wrong. This film was so awesome to see at the cinema theaters, I had to see it 4 times and I don't see films that many times! It was like a rollercoaster that you didn't want to get off of.

Avengers was great, but I was expecting it to be great. The movie I enjoyed the most in recent years was The Lone Ranger, because everyone said it was bleep, and I loved it.

Captain America The Winter Soldier is the best I've seen this year.

How many Marvel films are the best of their year?

Well, Godzilla doesn't come close to measuring up. I saw that and it's very average.

Enjoyable? No one beats Terminator 2, Judgment Day. I saw it in theatre when I was 8 years old and is still the most enjoyable theatre experience i ever had

Wait until Marvel breaks the Internet with today's news from comic con.

The critics were certainly right in this case.

At least until May of 2015.

Stay tuned.

Easily, yes.

And the flowers are STILL standing!

To this date "easily, yes" but in a month we'll know if AoU has managed to do the impossible and that is improve on perfection.

Seeing Ant-Man last week was real close. Everyone left that showing smiling ear to ear.

Wow! Are people genuinly comparing The Avengers to The Matrix??? The Matrix basically redefined science fiction and actually had an original story. I can't say that about The Avengers. The most generic movie I've ever seen, in every possible way.

No one is really comparing Avengers to the Matrix because The Matrix is at least three levels below Avengers. There is no comparison. Matrix was a one hit novelty that if released today would be another American Ultra type movie. It would be forgotten by the third week in release. Avengers is the cornerstone of the greatest active film franchise that's going to run decades and is still cutting edge. What's to compare?

Exactly it is a film franchise, nothing original!

[–] blackdoug 8 years ago

The Matrix could even make three coherent films. Marvel has delivered 13 great films. That's way beyond original. That's writing the book on smart entertainment.

Having seen The Force Awakens on Friday with a packed house I can say that Avengers still was the better experience.

I accept your surrender.
