Robert Downey Jr. watched it for the first time yesterday at his birthday party. Looks like two thumbs up!
I wonder if this was a 'fly-by' or if there was minglingSean Bryan said:Robert Downey Jr. watched it for the first time yesterday at his birthday party. Looks like two thumb as up!
Wow. When the right IMAX projector failed at a screening of The Hobbit last December at my local theater, everyone had to practically BEG for one readmit ticket, after standing in line, when the movie ended.Wayne_j said:I went to the early afternoon IMAX showing of Captain America today. During the pre-show there was sound but no picture, when the previews started there was picture but no sound. The theater manager had everyone leave so they can reboot the projector. 20 minutes later he comes back out and said that they had to call in the IMAX technicians and the showing is cancelled. Everyone got 2 IMAX readmission tickets and admission to a movie showing on any other screen.
I opted for the regular 3D showing that started a few minutes after all this happened. The movie was enjoyable but the sound level was way too low. I bought my earplugs in in preparation for the reference level playback on the IMAX screen. The level with earplugs in was way too low, with them out it was probably about the level that it would have been with them in on the IMAX screen, just without the tactile feedback from the bass.
The 3D adaptation was competent, but didn't significantly improve over what the 2D screening would have been like.
well, my showing was actually cancelled. It would be hard for the theater to get away without giving at least one ticket. The manager actually did say that we would be getting at least one ticket before he found out hew would have to cancel the showing.Todd Erwin said:Wow.

Unfortunately, our theater showed the trailer to "Lucy" beforehand, and while the BW worked in The Avengers as a larger-than-life comic-book character in a universe where such things existed, I sort of hope her role in this movie gets Marvel's usual urge for a "female solo spinoff" out of their system--As watching Johanson typecast herself as the world's most perfect kickass heroine who steps on more men could get real old, faster than you can say "Milla Jovovich".Adam Lenhardt said:I've never enjoyed Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow more than I did in this film. In Iron Man 2, she was what S.H.I.E.L.D. needed her to be for Tony Stark, in The Avengers she was what the mechanics of a team-up blockbuster needed her to be. In this, for the first time, I finally started to get an understanding of who Natasha Romanoff is as a character on her own independent terms. I enjoyed the way her playfulness and her bone-dry sense of humor contrasted with her steely professionalism. I enjoyed the way her relationship with Steve evolved over the course of the film, the way she increasingly trusted him and admired him even as she envied the moral clarity that she had lost a long time ago.
Yeah, think I had that one called as far back as the trailer:Robert Redford could do a role like Alexander Pierce in his sleep, and he's terrific at it here.
Speaking personally, if she keeps making them, I'll keep watching them.Ejanss said:Unfortunately, our theater showed the trailer to "Lucy" beforehand, and while the BW worked in The Avengers as a larger-than-life comic-book character in a universe where such things existed, I sort of hope her role in this movie gets Marvel's usual urge for a "female solo spinoff" out of their system--As watching Johanson typecast herself as the world's most perfect kickass heroine who steps on more men could get real old, faster than you can say "Milla Jovovich".
Without Henry Pym in the story yet, anything's possible.Brett_B said:I have a question (more of my personal thoughts - assumptions) for those that are familiar, somewhat, with the Marvel comics and who have seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Is it safe to assume that Ultron will/could be the result of the technology used for the "Winter Soldier's" arm, and the downloading of Zola conscious to a computer?
