Out of curiosity, do you live in one of those countries that let you stay in the theater the whole day and see movies multiple times. Because seeing a movie seven times in a theater is really excessive.

Yeah, I only saw it four in the theater.



Anyway, I'd say definitely about the Star Wars comment.

I feel it's more like the CBM answer to Ghostbusters...

Ghostbusters...never excited me nearly as much as Star Wars and The Avengers.

but is that just because of the characters and hype? say The Avengers came out 25 years ago, so you never had any hype for it, in the same way Ghostbusters and Star Wars were around before you were born, how would you feel about it? I think The Avengers will live on more similarly to Ghostbusters, with a large (but not as large as Star Wars') fanbase. Star Wars is a phenomenon, The Avengers is just an awesome and well made movie, piggybacking on the already established phenomenon of the Marvel Universe.

Also tonally The Avengers was a lot closer to Ghostbusters than Star Wars.

I think once is more than enough. I can't imagine wanting to see the Avengers, or any movie for that matter, more than once in a theater.



Ghostbusters is better than both Star Wars and The Avengers.

Ca-can you even compare the two films.

I don't even think that's possible.

Not really. Godziller simply mentioned Star Wars, although I was initially thinking of a New Hope.

I'm sorry, this statement is false. 25 years ago there still would have been a ton of hype because all the main characters (Thor, Iron Man, Cap, and Hulk) were already very well known, the Hulk TV show had been made, and comics were going through it's rebirth (thanks to Moore and Miller) and a massive movie like this would have goten all the hype that it could get. Even a movie like superman which wasn't close to the first non comic version of that character was a major hype machine, so a movie like Avengers (If done the same way: tying several previous movies together) would have gotten an ass load of hype.

I actually agree with this.

Ghostbusters may not have the insane impact on movie culture that A New Hope did, and not have the raw spectacle of The Avengers,

But who was honestly surprised at anything IN The Avengers? Sans humorous bits.
Every fanboy had a checklist. Joss Whedon just ticked the boxed.
Everything that happened was the predetermined logical sequence of events that had to happen.
It was going through the necessary motions.
But storywise? Action-wise?
He did it right. Just right.
As in only right.

The Avengers is absolutely fun. But its biggest achievements are merging these properties into one big outing, having all these well knowns share the spotlight, and having a story that adequately accommodate such things.

But to say its as funny, clever, creative and purely original as Ghostbusters...?
Nu uh.

Even A New Hope suffers from Avatar-syndrome. Only instead of the foreigners invading story, it was the age old
Farm boy meets kindly old wizard, must learn magic and take up sword to rescue princess and defeat dark lord.

Its a damn fun movie that introduced a lot of new-ish ideas, but its built entirely on age old archetypes.
Nowhere near as inventive and creative as Ghostbusters.

^Why did you write that A New Hope suffers from Avatar-syndrome when Avatar clearly suffers from A New Hope-syndrome?

Then why did you score it 10/10 ?

I think common sense dictates a movie did FAR more than "just right" to get a perfect score.

Go to sleep Nitey, you seem tired.

Enjoy...

Is it impossible for you to not sound like an asshole? ever?

I scored the Avengers 10/10 because I believe its the best an Avengers movie could be.

And if I missed something in that Ghostbusters page that negates what I said, please copy paste bro.

Otherwise...

Everything I said still stands.

Edit:
You don't always sound like an asshole.
Not always. Just saying.
That was an exaggeration.
