You young fellas are spoiled these days. When I were a little lad all we had was stop motion effects films like Jason & the Argonauts.

And bloody good they where too.

Emma Peel, lovely looking lass

The proper Avengers (not New Avengers) was brilliant 60s surreality.

Alas is was ruined for me by a 5 year old kicking the shit out of the back of my seat. My do some parents take kids that are clearly too young for a 12 A film. Thankfully they left half way through.

Nothing worse. Did you just grin and bear it while it lasted?

No I did turn around and ask her to stop

But parents did nothing I assume.
Cinema is great when there are no annoyances but people are a-holes and at £10+ a pop, I resent it.

Where do you people go to the cinema? Wallet-rapetown?

Just outside Edinburgh!

I saw it last week, have to admit. I did enjoy it, albeit slightly underwhelmed with it. I am getting a bit fed up with these films now. I didnt like the winter solider.
 Guardians was ace though. It must be tricky to direct one of these, as they have to tie in so many different films. Don't even get me started on Jared Letos joker.

Saw it this afternoon.  All a bit limp.  Reminded me of Star Wars in that there's a fairly thin plot to tie together CGI effects stuff (and the bit at the start looked more like stop motion!).

Pretty sure they play it loud so no one nods off during the slower parts.

Not even sure this is anything like the comics I grew up on; isn't it just a trimmed version of Terminator without the time travelling (dodgy accents were there!)?

I did find the plot a bit cliche - the usual "we're a team but we fight within ourselves... but pull together when it really matters".

I love most films so I'm surprised I'm not keen on this and most others are!
