Finally saw The Avengers.  Can someone please explain to me how a group that is so technologically advanced they have a freaking flying, invisible aircraft carrier can let a single aircraft 1/100th of the size sneak up on them and almost take them out?

Even if we go with the "it was one of theirs" theory, wouldn't then notice that "Hey, where did that one come from and why is it hovering so close by".  Its not like they don't take inventory of where their aircraft is.

Otherwise, pretty good, not great.
I'm not from Philly but some say I'm blunt.

I've been looking forward to it since I posted a pic of Day-Lewis as Lincoln over two weeks ago.

your picture was not only not a movie poster but the pic in general was not nearly as good

I'm looking forward to seeing this, but am convinced I will find it disappointing.

disappointing cause expectations are so high but i fail to see how it wont be at least very good

that said im looking forward to the master more

More disappointing because I'll mentally pick apart every historical inaccuracy that I see.

you both have to keep in mind its also been roughly 10 years still spielberg has done a good movie where he wasnt blatantly trying to win a statue.

actually maybe 15. so lower those expectations cause theres a decent chance shes gonna blow.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

munich was a very good movie and hardly pandering to the oscar crowd....i expect lincoln to be in this mold

Did MDS take a thinly-veiled shot at "Schindler's List?"

has eric bana been good in anything ever? 
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

Yeah Bana was colossally bad in Munich, but so much of that movie blew. Over the top scenes of him boning his wife in sweaty slow motion. The final shot of the twin towers. Spielberg has turned into such a hack it's embarrassing. Without looking I think that the last movie he did that I liked was Catch Me If You Can and that wasn't exactly the greatest movie ever made, just solid and enjoyable with numerous eye-candy actresses.

Josh farging Hartnett was good in Blackhawk Down. Any man with a stern face and a pulse would have been brilliant in that movie. Also, he was in Hanna for like 10 minutes. He was good, but come on.

And Munich was farging garbage. Lowest common denominator, pseudo philosophical, self indulgent tripe.

Tomahawk

After the Behind the Music on Nas, New Jack City came on. It's such a good movie, I watched it on commercial television.

Catch Me if You Can is one of those movies that is simply easy and fun to watch. Probably because Leo DiCaprio is so dreamy.

It's worth it to see Jennifer Garner as the call girl getting took.

Hot and gullible.   Win for males.

Agree that Munich blew.  I don't get the love for that movie at all.  Looking at Bana's IMDB page, it is kind of surprising how many bad movies he was in since I always kind of had it in my mind he was a decent actor.  He was pretty good in Hanna.
