I'd have to rank it up there with the first time I seen The Matrix, I wasn't expecting much and was rather lukewarm abou

Why doesn't Oscar voters take this in to consideration when thinking about best picture? When you leave the cinema absolutely smiling like you did with Avengers that should count for something.
Yes, if in the past they could nominate films like "Star Wars", "Raiders Of The Lost Ark", and all 3 "LOTR" films, then they should've made room for "The Avengers" in this year's Best Picture nominees. What a waste not to recognize such a thoroughly and unbashedly entertaining movie like this. -

It was a lot of fun.
As much fun as Dredd or Django Unchained? No, but still fun.
Long live the new flesh.

What I meant was that those two phrases were what I was thinking either while I was watching the movies or immediately afterward.
During Avengers, what I was thinking was, "Wow, I can't believe he's pulling this off!"
Much more fun and original than the other films.
Not as much blood, though, which seems to be what those two films have in common.

simply walk into Mordor. -

Django - Way too long, way too self-important.
That is so true and add the fact that is was a tedious three hours at the cinema. Not many enjoyed the experience of Django.

The Lord of the Rings still rules, but this is up there.
The Avengers is a little better than The Matrix, because its absurdities are fun, while some of the stupid things in The Matrix are fun and good, but human beings as batteries kept purely for their electrical production is just stupid. -

I was older than 6 but Jurassic Park was a blast to watch at the cinema. Are you going to the 3D IMAX re-release of it this year?

The Lord of the Rings was good but hardly thrilling. It was epic but in a massive bulky way.

Both times I saw this the cinema was pretty empty (lunchtime opening day and then the following saturday), so it wasnt really as much of an experience as it sounds like some of you had.
For me, the first time I saw TDK wins by a mile. It was my first time seeing a feature film in 70mm IMAX, and it was just mesmerising.
You think Im not serious just because I carry a rabbit? -

If you pay attention at every moment, you form a new relationship to time. In some magical way, by slowing down, you become more efficient, productive, and energetic, focusing without distraction directly on the task in front of you. Not only do you become immersed in the moment, you become that moment.
