Which are you more excited for: Avengers or Dark Knight Rises?

Of this summer's two main superhero blockbusters, which gets you going most - or none of them? (I won't include Spider-Man as it doesn't seem to be quite as eagerly awaited).

Dark Knight Rises. I like Whedon and think that Avengers will be a good one. But it's not even close.

Re: Which are you more excited for: Avengers or Dark Knight Rises?

The Dark Knight Rises - easily. I LOVE The Dark Knight and it's one of my favorite movies of all time.

I wasn't even that excited for The Avengers until I started hearing the good buzz after the premiere. Watched Thor for the first time last night too and was surprised how much I enjoyed it, so that helps as well.

Actually pretty excited for the new Spider-Man too.

Avengers has me more excited right now. The bits and pieces from Dark Knight Rises haven't been all that great to me.

The Avengers.

Didn't really care for TDK and don't really care about TDKR.

Prometheus is my most eagerly anticipated summer film.

Re: Which are you more excited for: Avengers or Dark Knight Rises?

I chose The Avengers. At this point this is the third Batman movie, I loved the first two and am pretty sure that DKR will be awesome. But I am more excited for the Avengers because who the fuck would have thought that the Avengers movie that is coming out would be even fucking possible. Having Characters from four separate movie franchises coming together on the big screen has the potential to make this EPIC

Edit - to change DNR to DKR, I am sure that a movie on The Department of Natural Resources, Dolby Noise Reduction, Do Not Resuscitate, would not be nearly as good as the Avengers

TDKR as I'm a big Batman fan and it's the final movie of the trilogy, though I am interested in The Avengers and Prometheus...

Re: Which are you more excited for: Avengers or Dark Knight Rises?

They're really pretty close for me so I chose can't decide. I'm more of a Batman fan at heart so I'm probably slightly more excited for The Dark Knight Rises but The Avengers looks awesome too.

Prometheus should be really good as well and even though I'm not very excited for it I know I'll see The Amazing Spider-Man.

Re: Which are you more excited for: Avengers or Dark Knight Rises?

The Dark Knight Rises.

I'm starting to get burned out from all the publicity from The Avengers and the movie hasn't even opened yet! Fucking promotion is EVERYWHERE!

With the exception of a bootleg teaser trailer (and the thread here which I've started to avoid due to too many spoilers), I haven't seen jack shit as far as publicity from TDKR.

And yes I know The Avengers is opening soon and TDKR still has a few months to go but that doesn't change the fact that I'm already sick of The Avengers hype.

Prometheus looks like a badass superhero flick. Thanks for bringing it up.

Prometheus, then TDKR, then Avengers. But I'm bugfuck for all 3 so this is gonna be a fun summer movie season. Brave looks good and I'm even cautiously looking forward to Spidey.

In most cases we've seen DNR is horrid.

If Prometheus was added it'd be like this:

Prometheus
The Avengers
TDKR


The Avengers i'm excited for cuz literally this film shouldn't have happened..but it has amazingly. TDKR is last cuz I already know what to kind of expect but I'm still very excited. Avengers is just really neat that they actually got the damn thing made.

It definitely sounds that way... but 2 of the characters only received separate movie franchises because of The Avengers.

I'm sure they'll both be fine, but they're right on par with Seeking a Friend at the End of the World and Moonrise Kingdom for me.

They are planning Captain America 2 and Thor 2, and Iron Man 3 I am assuming that they might get around to doing another Hulk movie sooner or later. If not then it is only three.

I get what you are saying in that if it weren't for the Avengers we might not have sequels to Captain America and Thor. I chose to look at it like they brought four major characters who had their own major summer blockbuster type movies together for a Marvel Orgy of awesome! My use of the word franchise was potentially incorrect depending on your interrpretaion of meaning. This was my interpretaion : a film that is or has the potential to be part of a series and lends itself to merchandising

Dark Knight by a lot. It doesn't hurt that The Avengers comes out next week, so the wait is pretty minimal.

Re: Which are you more excited for: Avengers or Dark Knight Rises?

The Avengers. I love Batman, loved BB and TDK, but for some reason I'm not as excited for TDKR. I'm sure I'll love it once I see it, but I cannot wait for The Avengers. I've enjoyed all the Marvel Studios movies up to this point, and I can't wait to see them all interacting together. I also am so happy that Joss Whedon is getting this chance to helm such a big film, and that he got to write it.

So yeah, Avengers for me.

The Dark Knight Rises

I'm excited to think about the entire movie forum being dominated by threads about it.
