Originally Posted By CuriousConstance Okay I just saw the movie. It was amazing. My whole family loved it. I thought it was very funny. The characters were much more likable than in their individual films, in my opinion. Would definitely see it again. Best movie I've seen in a long time.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I feel like it's going to be hard keeping myself from going to see this again next weekend! The whole movie I was hoping it wouldn't end. That so rarely happens. It had the whole family (from 4 to 33 years old) laughing. I also feel like Hulk was one of the high points of the film. A couple scenes he is in are still making me smile when I think about them. I also really enjoyed Robert Downey Jr. He was very funny! Heck, even the bad guy was enjoyable to watch.

Needless to say, Disney's purchase of Marvel has started out very well for them...

I wouldn't be surprised if Feings is promoted this coming week to head of Walt Disney Picturesbased on the success of Avengers as he was the mastermind behind the entire thing.

Originally Posted By WilliamK99 200 million is a literal lock now as most insiders are saying Disney is lowballing the numbers.... Also looking at 650 million WW for 10 days of release... Absolutely insane. I am guaranteeing some sort of Avengers attraction at Disneyland prior to the release of Avengers 2.

I feel like Disney is really regretting allowing Universal to keep Marvel Superhero Island...
