NOT Worth the wait!

Rating: 1/10 (30 April 2012)

Went to sneak of Avengers tonight in Austin and wish I hadn't wasted the couple hours or so! Very disappointing. Wish I had sold or given away the passes. I remember a time where the story was the most important part of the movie, instead of just smart quips and CGI explosions to make up for it. I guess it is all about making a quick buck. "Hey, lets put all these elements together and make a killing off the rubes!" Thing is, we will accept lower and lower quality films, and have no one to blame but ourselves. Don't like silly cars that turn into metallic aliens anyone? I would wait for HBO or the like if you must see this. On a VERY related subject: who are the morons in marketing who decided that they should over-book a sneak so a good third of passes are turned away? From the angry/disappointed faces on the adults and KIDS who were leaving, I am wondering how all the bad will generated helps promote a film? They should barely over book by say, 1% so that people with lives aren't at the mercy of slackers who sit around all day with nothing else going on but to sit all day. Grade C for movie and promotion.
