We don’t know who these mysterious viewers of The Avengers are, but they have some opinions about the film that should give hardcore fans the gift of relief.
Quint over at AICN (via CBM) seems to know the secret identities of these viewees, because he gave a quick rundown of their response on his website.
Word ’round the campfire is Marvel considers The Avengers to be their best outing yet. I’ve talked to some cynics in the group who weren’t sure it was going to come together and they’re all doing their mea culpas now. They say it has the heart, the action, the humor and the suspense a movie like The Avengers should have. The only criticisms I’ve heard is that Whedon’s eye isn’t as cinematic as it should be, but that the rest of the movie is so good that you accept it.
Not as cinematic as it should be? I suppose it makes sense considering that Whedon established his roots in television, but the shots that we’ve seen have been plenty cinematic, particularly that roundabout shot we keep posting in our news articles.
Y’know, this one
In the comments section, Quint clarifies that it does look like television, but fans of his that remember Serenity might not see this as a problem.
When I asked “Does it look like TV?” The source’s response was in the affirmative. But he/she/it has always been honest with me and said that even though it looks like TV you don’t mind it because the rest of the movie is so good.
Sounds like Serenity to us! What do you think? Still excited for the film or were you hoping for a more “cinematic” take on The Avengers?
