They are not filmed realizations of the comics we loved, they're altered versions. And we just can't get that excited about them. They may be ok on their own terms, but aren't nearly as good as the films we've seen in our heads. Nobody ever said that it was a dream come true for everyone in here. Again, no film ever gets 100% positive rating and if you haven't learned at this point that Marvel isn't following the comics verbatim, you never will. As I said earlier, I for one don't want Mavel to feel like they have to follow these comics to the letter. Again, where is the fun in seeing a film when you know exactly what is going to happen. I for one couldn't possibly be more content with the direction Marvel has taken with all 19 films. If you don't like what Marvel is doing, then just don't see the films and just stick with the comics. Problem solved.

As comic book fans, it's remarkable the age we live in... and that a 10-year plan of connected movies has led to a movie like this with so many characters played by so many of today's biggest stars... I mean... wow. If you're someone who truely loves comics and comic characters, how can you not love all of this? I was so happy that the movie delivered when we saw it today. I was especially pleased that. Hide contents the deaths were handled so well! Loki and Heimdel seemed like they were truely killed and got really good deaths. Loki especially. Gamora got a death that should bring her a dramatic return in the next movie...and the rest were just taken off the board for a while. I think that if any "major" death had occurred at the end of this movie... Cap, Iron Man, etc.. it would be too easy to not "feel" it, knowing that with part II it could be undone. It's the same reason why the "death" of Vision didn't land.. you don't feel that he's necessarily gone, but that they'll bring him back. But anyone who dies in part II? Those deaths are going to really mean something. Spoiler It's hard to feel anything knowing that any character that died at the end is coming back in Part II. That being said, there was still an audible gasp when T'Challa disappeared. And Spidey's "death" landed like a Mack truck. There were definitely tears and sniffles in the audience for that one.

What a smart way to plug his movie into the excitement that is taking place now. Brilliant! OrangeCrush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmat Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I saw it yesterday and I have to say it was great, it fulfilled all my expectations, and more Next year I'll be watching Part 2 and after that, I'll segregate myself in my living room during 48h and I'll watch the 20 movies in a non stop session. I'll watch it as a very long single movie. What Marvel achieved with his cinematic universe in unprecedented, and it hardly will be done again. BTW, what are the odds for the X-Men and the FF to appear in phase 4 and play a central role? ComicConnoisseur and comic_memories 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again, these figures don't include China, the 2nd biggest market in the world. It opens I think on May 12th in Chiina. Once those figures get added onto the total opening figures, this is going to crush everything, and by a significant margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a good way for kids to hit up the same houses time and time again. There will likely be so many kids dressed up as Thanos, Iron Man, Cap, etc. tht it will be impossible to tell if they have already been at your house already. Great way to go home with like 50 pounds in candy, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 2nd viewing yesterday; no dropoff in love for it, that's fersure. for the first time in many years, i'll likely make a 3rd trip to the theater. Larryw7 and ComicConnoisseur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were lowballing with $250M estimate just to be safe. I'm more interested in week 2 and then to see how much of a dent Deadpool can make after that. I don't know how another movie (besides part 4) has a chance to reach this record anytime soon. Jurassic Park? Avatar? Solo?...just don't see it being beaten.

OrangeCrush Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Its dominating by such a large margin that Korea might take legislative action to prevent such domination at the box office. How absurd, Korea Box Office: ‘Avengers’ Domination May Hasten Legislative Response http://variety.com/2018/film/asia/korea-box-office-avengers-domination-legal-pushback-1202791599/ Quote “Avengers” played on 85% of screens nationwide, and some 2,553 over the weekend. It accounted for 95% of total weekend box office, ahead of second placed “Intention” with just 1%. Now that is truly the definition of dominating. It accounted for 95% of the total weekend box office. The 2nd highest movie accounted for just 1% of ticket sales, lol.
