Nothing of the sort was hinted, but that's cause much like The Amazing Spider-Man, the actual movie license is not property of Marvel Studios and their independent works which was created specifically to build every movie that would lead up to The Avengers.

That said, much like the other movies that preceded this one, you guys will definitely want to stay through the credits a bit. You won't have to wait until the very end this time around, but some of the more well-versed Marvel fans will certainly sound the hype train on this particular post-credits cutscene.

I just saw this yesterday and boy was I surprised to have no qualms afterwards. Whereas the five films before it have always felt lacking in some way or just shy of being 'great' to me, this one exceeded expectations. The dialogue and humour is brilliant, with my favourite performances going to Tom Hiddleston and Mark Ruffalo.

Indeed. It was nice not to have to sit through the entire credits before the inevitable extra scene but it almost went straight over my head lol, given my lack of familiarity with the comics.

Holy hell, it's that good?

I know it looks very good for a highly ambitious project, but it's that good?

>D Oh my, can't wait for the NA release!

You should see the Superherohype forums thread for reviews and ratings. Everything has been praised to high heaven. Even the people who don't care for the Avengers or never read any of the books have posted and praised it for it's strong characterization, action, dialogue and heart. People seem to be loving this film to death not just as a superhero film but as a film in general.

Reading the opinions is getting me hyped for the NA release!

Hell, I'm not even a huge Marvel fan, I just love the Marvel movies because they are great movies. Which is why it makes me even more hyped to see this after hearing all the good things about it!

[BlueTidalGamer]

Seen the movie. It was amazing!!! Best Marvel movie ever!

[Admiral Bobbery]

Seen it TWICE. And probably I'm ready for the third round next week. Yes, it's THAT good.

[Discoid]

All this praise is starting to sway me, but I was never really into Marvel's movies or their characters. I love Iron Man, but wasn't really that into the movie. I just thought it was good (and I mean that. It was good, I just didn't really think it was great like Nolan's films). Same with Captain America, though I didn't really like his character in the first place. Thor doesn't look like it'll appeal to me at all, and Hulk was just "meh".

With all that said, I really don't think I'll enjoy this as much as I think I will The Amazing Spider-Man (because Spider-Man is easily my favorite superhero and I actually really love other Spider-Man media, like Spectacular and some of the games) or The Dark Knight Rises. I'll probably see it eventually, but I'm in no rush.

I actually agree with Dissident. I prefer Spidey over any of the characters in the new Marvels movie. I wish they actually had Spidey in this new Marvels movie. That would really spark my interest. I remember I played a game along time ago on SNES about the avengers and it had Spidey in it. What's with that guy with the bow and arrow?? I don't even remember seeing him in any medium. Captain America I remember very well.
I'm not judging it, I'm sure I'll see it eventually, but I'm not hyped for it. (even with Iron man in it)

Hawkeye has always been one of the main members of The Avengers, and his appearance was a no-brainer from the start. He had a cameo in Thor, foreshadowing his role as one of the top agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But to have never heard of him? That's kind of surprising considering he was in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

I can safely say that no matter what your favorite super hero is, if you enjoy super hero movies or good movies in general, you will enjoy this movie immensely. I was largely lukewarm for Hulk, and wasn't a big fan of his movie, but his role in The Avengers is one of the best, and it made me love the character all the more. Every character in this movie stands out as memorable, well defined and lovable, and it's the vast differentials in personalities they all have that create a chemistry unlike any other relationships in other super hero movies. That's the magic in the movie; how's a character like Captain America who's a completely irony-free, genuine good guy, meant to help coordinate and interact with a Norse God that places his obligations and morals above all else, or a snarky billionare who sucks at being a team player?

Anyway the movie currently has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. Pretty big deal.

[Speederino]

Just five more days. Just five more days. Just five more days.

Good timing, too. I'll have just finished up with the worst of my "end of semester rush", so I can look forward to Avengers as a bit a reward.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie next weekend! It looks amazing from the trailers and I'm glad that the reviews have been very positive so far! I'm also curious how it will compare to The Dark Knight Rises as well.

[BW199148]

Great film, solid action, the characters worked (Especially Dr. Banner/Hulk), the story was solid. I did stay at the end credits and be honest I saw that coming.

In short if enjoyed Marvels previous Superhero films in this arc then I can't see you being disappointed with this one.

[Tetsuya Nomura]

This weekend i'm having a Marvel's Avengers marathon starting with Captain America and ending with me rewatching "The Avengers" this Monday

I propose everyone does the same.

[turbojet]

Fuck, I'm sold.

[Chaos Warp]

Fuck, I'm sold.

I was sold at the first trailer.

[Johnny Boy]

2 more days till the release! Are your bodies ready?

[BW199148]

I was sold at the first trailer.

*Hipster Glasses* I was sold before I saw the first trailer!

[Tetsuya Nomura]

OK i rewatched Captain America today(I'm going from the chronological order of the Avengers saga). God i love this movie. You americans are so lucky. I wish my country had a super-hero with its name

The story, while basic, is very well told. You can tell it's from the director of "The Rocketeer". Chris Evans makes a fantastic Steve Rogers. I still can't understand how they managed to make him look so convincingly small and skinny Hugo Weaving as Red Skull is just a joy to watch. I also love the action scenes and Alan Silvestri's(Back to the Future) music:

My favorite scene is this awesome nod to the original comics:

http://www.youtube.c...RKwKJI_uI#t=90s

He punches Hitler in the face. If that doesn't make him awesome i don't know what does.

Overall it's a very good movie. Very entertaining and even touching. "Stay true to what you are: Not a perfect soldier, but a good man"

Tomorrow i'll rewatch Iron Man and post my thoughts on the second Avenger.

Captain America really is perhaps the most interesting Avengers tie-in, partially because unlike every other super hero movie out there, it's not that special. It's the only straight-faced, genuinely upfront movie about a masked avenger to be released. The fact that every super hero movie tries to be unique in some sense of the word such as being cynically realistic (Watchmen), filled with snark and wit (Iron Man), a character that's reluctant (Spider-Man) or one that's psychotic and brooding (Batman), ironically becomes the norm, and the fact that we get a movie about a patriotic good-guy who's neither obnoxious nor douche-y about it is refreshing. Chris Evans captures Cap's sensitive but devoted side so well, a natural leader, who doesn't even enjoy killing anyone, during a time when the war was still at high and he continuously attempted in enlisting to the army just for the sake of finding an outlet for that persona of his, which ultimately becomes his character arc, instead of a traditional one.

Honestly, I really love Captain America. It's completely free from any semblance of irony, runs it straight and is incredibly enjoyable. The fact that it isn't trying to be particularly fresh is what makes it fresh.
