Avengers. First movie I saw 3 times in the theaters during it's initial run. And it just kept getting better.
I thoroughly enjoyed TDKR (just saw in IMAX last night), but I know what's going to happen next. I'm going to start to think about it. And, like BB and ESPECIALLY TDK before it, it will start to unravel. It's already began somewhat and it's frustrating. And subsequent viewings will likely cause it all to come spilling out like an exploding boil.
And, while TDKR does have it's memorable moments, The Avengers is loaded with so many note perfect moments that it's almost taken for granted. Banner's moment when he reveals his secret gave me chills EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. That's my movie moment of the year and one of the my top of all time easily.
It annoys me, though, to see people down TA as fluff in comparison to TDKR. TDKR isn't as deep or meaningful as many pretend it to be. It's thematically nothing all that inspired in comparison to TA. Please don't make me go there, as I don't like systematically tearing down a movie that I rather enjoyed.
But they're both movies worth seeing on the big screen, as was TAS. Disappointing summer overall, though, compared to last year. Maybe Total Recall will be so good that it redeems it ... ? : |
