Chindie Posted April 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2012 'Hulk... Smash!'. New Avengers TV spot, few new bits and bobs in the 30 secs, not sure about 'Smash' bit, I hope it's been cut a little. The latest TV spots and clips released have really played up a more light hearted comedy edge, which makes me wonder quite what the tone of this is going be. I don't mind a few jokes (Thor, for example, can be genuinely watched as a run of the mill comedy imo and that doesn't really harm it) but playing it too much is not going to be good.

briggaman Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I think it's important that it isn't taken too seriously to be honest. As you say though, I hope they don't play it too much as a comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2012 I think its impossible to play it totally straight, and I don't think I'd want that, either. It's just that the recent spate of TV spots and clips released (I think theres been about 5 in the past fortnight, at least) seem to be pushing the comedy line a little more than I'd like. The Black Widow fight I linked earlier on is, at times, played like a comedy sketch, and not a particularly good one... Niggles, all the same. Less than 3 weeks to release now. Cannot wait! Considering IMAX-ing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Oh yes, this one surely has to be seen in the IMAX. Shame they are only showing it in 3D at the IMAX but I'll make do and see it again in 2D. Booked my ticket for two weeks on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted April 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2012 Just picking up this.. also rewatched thor, i like it, threw up some questions that i dont expect to be answered in the avengers, such as how they both get back and what they are doing with natalie portman who afaik isnt in avengers at all although the male scientist is, i know they ahve announced thor 2 too but IMO it hasnt got the legs I'm certain that both Loki and Thor's reappearance will be explained. A lot of talk has been that the shot from the trailers that has Thor riding on top of a jet in a storm is his 'reappearance' on Earth. I would not be surprised if they use the method Loki references in Thor, about the bifrost not being the only way into and out of Asgard, for Thor's reappearance. As for Loki's getting to Earth... no idea. But his character is a trickster and one of the more powerful in the Marvel canon, so they'll have something worked out that ties into that. I can say that his reappearance on Earth in the film happens in Germany, at a concert - he appears in full regalia and forces the audience to bow before him. Portman is not appearing (sadly, drool), true, but they were conscious to that and have referenced her character and her relationship with Thor in the film, they've said they going to 'have a moment' to it, where they'll explain quite why Thor isn't/can't go to Jane right now. I'm also unsure Thor has the legs for a franchise. If it did, it'd be a very different beast to the Iron Man franchise though (third already on the way, incidentally), perhaps it'd be interesting.

Definately one to watch with the missus! Watched it the other night for the second time - I think it's the closest thing in recent years to a proper, Molière-esque comedy.

Although my enjoyment of watching it was somewhat tempered when during the opening dinner scene where his wife states she wants a divorce my wife perked up and said "ahhh this is apt" :shock: Watched 'We need to talk about Kevin' last night and like others have commented its a harsh film but a very good one and well told.

peterms Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 watched headhunters, thought it was good, a bit surprised by the bits of humour in it but it worked Yes - a bit like the Coen brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 10, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hahaha tip for the future, any trailer with a red band at the start is NOT suitable for your 3 year old daughter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 10, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2012 Incidentally, there's more than a hint of "Wilfred" about that film, so for that reason I'm looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Watched Real Steel yesterday, it was pretty good.Criminally under advertised when it came out. Sure it should have been a much bigger hit, sure kids would go mad for the fighting robots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
