lol You gave almost every movie a D or F grade except the first two. I saw "The Avengers" in IMAX 3D the other day, and I'd give it an 8.0(B).

Also saw Titanic 3D recently, but that obviously isn't from 2012.

Well at least you ranked Dark Shadows higher than The Avengers, and for that, I thank you.

The only one I can remember is Mirror Mirror. It was OK. The Indian dance at the end was strange, and I didn't think it really went with the film.

So far, only Battleship, Man on a Ledge, The Cold Light of Day, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, John Carter, Lockout, Mirror Mirror and the Raven have all been absolute duds.

I'm surprised you gave Avengers 4.5/10, the box office taking speaks otherwise. It's ridiculously entertaining.

Did you just put American Reunion above The Avengers?

Transformers 2 is an abomination, and Avatar is an overrated turkey.

exactly what I meant, auto correct messed up what I was trying to say and I didn't realize it. The box office for those movies was really good

Yeah lol, it was kind of strange. It reminded me of the Slumdog Millionaire credits :P

The film is good fun though

Yeah, guys I didn't really find anything special about The Avengers.

It was a decent summer flick, but not really something I'd want to watch again. It had good action scenes and visual effects but I felt it really lacked character development.

so glad to see you say that! I felt so bad and alienated from everyone to be the only person who thought it was not good.

I had waited and waited for it to come out and I really liked the films of the individuals (thor, hulk, ironman, cap A) and like marvel stuff very much. But I found this film SUCH a let down, it was too much chat on the ship without enough change of scene, as you say it lacked character development and wasted a good opportunity to hear more of the views of the characters (as shown in the comics) esp thor and cap A. It felt sooo long and really did not justify that length with story quality, for example I was looking at my watch every 10 minutes.

I just feel so at odds with society about this, i loved john carter and that was a flop, but this one which i would say was the worst I had seen this year has done brilliantly :?

smudge- what about her weird wedding dress which was like a jaffa cake packet lol! never seen such an ugly dress.

If it was "decent" then why did you give an F grade? 5.9 or below is an F, and you gave it a 4.5 :roll:
