It's not like having an "unworthy film" as the opening weekend record holder is anything new. Here are the last 10 record holders.

It is a better movie than at least six if now seven of those {nm} Dales May 05, 17:48

A Twilight film would put the cherry (figuratively) atop that cake. What a statement concerning the American movie audience. DTXbro May 05, 18:29

You sound like me after I saw Dark Knight {nm} JDolphin May 05, 17:45

The Dark Knight was a great movie. Did you think the Avengers was better? {nm} darknightz May 05, 17:53

DK was very underwhelming - a seen it all before and too over the top - haven't seen Avengers yet - loved Iron Man 1 {nm} JDolphin May 05, 17:58

Funny, that was my reaction to Avatar. Iron Man 1 was nice, yes, but I don't see it as a better movie than TDK. darknightz May 05, 18:05

My reaction to Avatar was 10 times worse DK C (maybe C-), Avatar F------ (Iron Man 1 - A) {nm} JDolphin May 05, 18:17

haha, different people, different values I suppose. {nm} darknightz May 05, 18:25

The Dark Knight was a good movie that was around 30-40 minutes longer than it should have been. Ending the film after Joker's death would LuCiFeR May 05, 17:59

ummm.... the Joker didn't die. I guess I can see how some might feel the ending was lacking {nm} darknightz May 05, 18:02

Death as in he won't be back in another Batman movie anytime soon after Ledger's brilliant performance. Should have specified. {nm} LuCiFeR May 05, 19:11

I thought you posted early this morning that your kids saw Avengers last night and thought it was funny? {nm} RHAWK May 05, 17:49

Yes, my youngest: "It was funny". My oldest: "What a piece of sh&t". They saw it in OC Friday Night, while I saw it in LA today. Also: goodvibe61 May 05, 18:03

Funny at times (spoilers) Buy StarBond Fund 18 May 05, 20:09

I dont think u like this kind of genre.. Probably u are not the targeted audience.. U shouldn't force yourself to go next time ;-) {nm} karspov May 05, 18:47

Yes and no. I LOVE Comic Books and well done CB Movies. No, I'm not the target audience. I had a brief conversation with Hollywood recently: goodvibe61 May 06, 01:57

wow. you really hated the film? I LOVED it. {nm} kydem May 05, 19:28

What'd i miss? nicadmous May 05, 20:43

Any CHARACTER. There's zero at stake. We know exactly what's gonna happen in this movie. And the villain was truly weak. {nm} goodvibe61 May 06, 01:50

Any character? nicadmous May 06, 10:57

Yeah, aside from a decent climax and a few funny parts, The Avengers was bad. Joss Whedon is a pretty terrible director. jmr May 05, 21:30

Director, Characters, Acting were awesome. It's the "Save the world from aliens" trope gets old. {nm} arf May 05, 22:17

It'll be old when it opens to 30m on the way to a sub 100m run...then you won't see it anymore. ;-) {nm} Catzan May 05, 23:24

Loved this movie. I will see it again in the theater and I NEVER do that. It was that good. Power87 May 06, 01:19

Michael Bay's signature style? Just curious, what is his style? lol =P {nm} nicadmous May 06, 11:03
