First (Low-Res) TV Spot For THE AVENGERS Debuts!

Argh! Can't watch must save till May 4th! Must retain control...

This is how we know, it is getting closer....I can feel it :)
too bad tdkr comes out so [frick]in far from this though

...

I don't know. This film has me really pumped, and I'm preordering tickets for it really soon, but there's something about this that's off.

It's REALLY corny and cheesy, from what I've seen. All the dialogue sounds childish, and the action scenes, unfortunately, look Bay-ish.

Don't get me wrong, it looks epic, but there's also a lot of cheese packed onto that. Maybe I'm being spoiled by Nolan, being a Nolanite and everything, but this just looks like a popcorn flick, and I want something more with it.

Nothing new, it's like the superbowl tv spot

@Asterisk

Shut up about Nolanite
Im sick of hearing that word, simple don't like it don't watch

meh.....same old stuff we've seen before. Nothing too exciting.

@TheGambitFreak that would be cool

Everything with the Avengers now just gets me all wet and juicy(ooo that sounded dirty...oh well)
Can't wait for the marvel marathon here in nyc- I may wear my SHIELD outfit.

@Spidey91

Well, excuse the Dark Knight for actually thinking!

I'm not trying to diss The Avengers, I just want to see more than a Michael Bay movie with this one. I loved all of Marvel Studios films (even Iron Man 2) so I wanted to see this one take it to new heights. If Thanos is in it, it probably could, because there's so much you can do with that character. But right now, it looks kinda Bay-ish. BUT I do think it will be really good and I can't wait.

i saw the 2 min one on spike like a week ago

@Asterisk

You can't compare Batman to the Avengers. Nolan hasn't created anything new with Batman, he made a dark, brooding film about a dark, brooding character. But he can't direct action sequences. But yeah, great films, none the less.

And 'looking' like a Bay film isn't insulting, he makes brilliant looking films, the problem is he can't follow that up with any substance, a good story etc. And this will have those, Whedon has had 60 years worth of material to work with.

Think about it, the conflict within the team, for leadership, each others motives, having the brother of the enemy on the team, having an uncontrolable monster. This isn't going to be as 'smart' as Batman, but it isn't trying to be, and never will.

I find it amazing that just because we know there is an alien army/Avengers battle in the middle of New York in this film, people say it is Bay-ish. From the looks of the footage we've seen so far, there will be all sorts of sub plots going on throughout the movie, not to mention a larger one that we have no info on at this point.

The Justice League and The Avengers are the only Super Groups that have major knock down, drag outs in broad daylight, in the middle of cities, on a regular basis, in the comics. They are both, the heavy hitters and public ally loved heroes in their respected companies. An Avengers movie without a scene like that would be heavily lacking. Bay was not the first, he won't be the last, and he holds no copy write on mass-destruction scenes on film.

Or should nobody ever include another in any film, ever?

Hope the movie didn't give away too much footage in all the trailers and stuff.

lol

Forget the whole thing about Avengers looking "Bay-Ish". It's BATTLESHITS that you need to be concerned about.

If there is a third Avengers trailer, they NEED to steer away from, or add to, this central event they keep displaying of the invasion. It's in the trailers and all the promo art. It makes it look like that's all there is; the alien invasion on the city.

When I saw John Carter (good film, critics smoke crack) they showed the Avengers (computer videos do it NO justice) and BATTLESHIP trailers; The look and tone could only be differentiated by the heroes themselves. From a business stand point, you want to separate yourself from a potential flop, or other film in general they may have similar structure.

Whatever the A-Team is doing before this invasion, which I'm starting to believe happens as the climax, they need to show THAT. I'm sure the film isn't everyone sitting around until the army shows up. A CBM is an action movie. Something else has to be going on with the heroes besides this attack.

HOLY CRAP EVERY SINCE I HEARD THE TERM NOLANITE, I feel like I heard it somewhere....and now I remember

Also, actually getting back on topic, I saw two new things: Cap and Tony meeting each other it seems, and Tony opening his eyes for some reason.

oh
