They finally make The Hulk a bad ass I loved the movie as a Marvel fan
Buffy movie? Maybe 10years too late, lol.Avengers was a cool movie. Hulk smash!
Saw it reluctantly yesterday. I haven't been too high on any of the recent Marvel films (except Punisher Warzone), but this film was the perfect comic book film. I didn't even think it was possible to translate The Avengers into a solid film. Joss Whedon went above beyond here. The action was perfect, the drama was perfect, the comedy was perfect; meaning as to how they fit in with the type of film it was. I haven't before seen a mainstream comic book translated this well onto film, and I doubt I will again.
I just don't know how they do a sequel with Thanos and not have it be the same film all over again.
Either way, I see this being a real career saver for Joss Whedon. The box office records set by this film easily give him the stroke to do a Buffy/Angel/Spike film with a real budget (if he still wants to do it). Either way I expect some decent films coming out from Whedon in the next couple years.DC is probably kicking themselves that they didn't let this guy do his Wonder Woman film, but Marvel is thanking them and laughing all the way to the bank.
And no Wonderwoman would not have been nearly as successful but Whedon showed he has the ability to write and direct a huge summer blockbuster and make it a great film. Which is wwhat he would have done with Wonderwoman, just a couple hundred million dollars less worth.
Can't speak on his Batman ideas as I don't know of them, and nor do I think I would have preferred his Batman to the current one.

Suge Knight could've directed it and it would've still been big.Quote from: Shallow on May 10, 2012, 04:36:25 PMCan't speak on his Batman ideas as I don't know of them, and nor do I think I would have preferred his Batman to the current one.He stated within the past week or two that his idea was for the origin story to focus on Bruce Wayne fighting back (starting out with a scene of him as a 12 year-old who is about to get beat up outside of Wayne Manor, but by the time Alfred gets there, Bruce is unscathed while the other kids are on the ground) based on him realizing he had the ability to be able to overcome fear in a situation that most would run from, rather than doing so out of a drive from grieving over his parents. Interesting, but again, it pales in comparison.
And the best Batman film that would have been is the proposed 1985 Ridley Scott directed film starring the yet to be a star Mel Gibson.
