I would agree, that leading up to release, it was not the most hyped movie in history. I would say Star Wars Episode 1 would be the most hyped movie in my lifetime, but I can't talk for movies before I was born. Gone With the Wind or The Wizard of Oz (the first two movies in color) could easily have been much more hyped, at least in the US. |
Agreed. Mordred just doesn't realize how insane Episode I was before its release. It made the cover of Newsweek and the front page of the LA Times (I lived in LA at that point, can't speak for other cities), for crying out loud. You couldn't walk anywhere without being assaulted by the hype surrounding that movie. Over half the theatre screens in my area were dedicated to that one film. Every showing was sold out a week before it released. It was ridiculous and honestly, set the movie up for failure because nothing would have lived up to the media blitz.
It also didn't help that the movie wasn't very good.
Avengers didn't get this kind of hype:
