Wally Pfister hates The Avengers

[Maccai3]

In a chat with the Sarasota Herald Tribune, Pfister said, "What’s really important is storytelling. None of it matters if it doesn’t support the story. I thought The Avengers was an appalling film. They’d shoot from some odd angle and I’d think, why is the camera there? Oh, I see, because they spent half a million on the set and they have to show it off. It took me completely out of the movie. I was driven bonkers by that illogical form of storytelling.”

gah apologies for the repost

He's right of course, but who cares? The Avengers is a bit of comic book fun, not an attempt at cinematic art. The plot was a mess, but I don't care because Iron Man battled Thor, and Thor battled Hulk, and Hulk swung Loki around like a ragdoll.

I liked those enormous flying mechanical lamprays that tooled around Manhattan without ever really doing anything threatening other than look really scary.

 

They seemed nice.

I liked it when Banner hulked up and punched one in the face.

It's great when Hulk gets smashy.

Reminded me of Shaun of the Dead:

 

"Well they were a bit... bitey."
