Early Buzz: First Reactions From ‘The Avengers’ Hollywood Premiere
By Peter Sciretta/April 12, 2012 9:30 am EST
The world premiere of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers happened tonight in Hollywood. We recorded a video blog reaction after the screening which we’ll be posting in addition to a couple full reviews from various members of the /Film team. But any long form reviews are embargoed until later — at this moment they are saying May 2nd, but I’d bet that will be moved up. We were allowed to tweet our reactions after the screening. I have compiled a round-up of all the tweets I could find, which includes the usual LA film journalists and a few of the geek celebrities who attended the premiere.
The Avengers is pretty epic. There is probably more action in this film’s climax than all the other Marvel movie combines!

I’d tweet about The Avengers but my body is still recovering from non-stop geeking out. So, so, so much fun (for the most part).

@GermainLussier Agree the more that I think about it. I have a lot of nitpicks in the first half. But second half is pretty solid.

Not a false note. Innovative. BRUTAL. And goddamn funny. Hype = believe it. #Avengers

It’s the bomb. I could not possibly say enough.

THE AVENGERS. Finally, a Marvel film with a rousing finish. I’ll deal with the first two acts in my review.
— Jeremy Smith (@mrbeaks) April 12, 2012
And that third act is more than enough to make THE AVENGERS the best Marvel movie yet.

The Avengers – Epic. EPIC! Everyone fights everyone, but it does deliver. Marvel’s movies get better every single one. Hulk! HULK!! — Alex Billington (@firstshowing) April 12, 2012
@sonicmayhem Yes, just saw it in 3D. Some good shots, but overall the 3D is meh as usual.

Full Avengers review embargoed and not gonna go into huge details. But… Ruffalo is terrific as Bruce Banner. Makes the role his, big time.
— Eric Goldman (@EricIGN) April 12, 2012
Avengers was big, messy, fun. More importantly there’s now nothing but Hawkeye fanfic swimming around in my head. #mmmrenner

Seriously, if comic book movies are your thing, you will be fully satisfied by the concoction Joss Whedob has fixed for you with #AVENGERS.
— Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) April 12, 2012
Absolutely loved THE AVENGERS. Was smiling from beginning to end. If you’re a Marvel fan you’re going to lose your shit in the theater.
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 12, 2012
Also, the two things that made #THEAVENGERS amazing: the Hulk and the humor. Joss Whedon gets a 10 out of 10 on both of those.
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 12, 2012
That’ll do, Joss, that’ll do.

AVENGERS is good enough to make me forgive IRON MAN 2.
— Devin Faraci (@devincf) April 12, 2012
I mean, IRON MAN 2 still sucks, but I’m less mad about it.
— Devin Faraci (@devincf) April 12, 2012
Btw, avoid THE AVENGERS in 3D. Worthless. See it 2D.
— Devin Faraci (@devincf) April 12, 2012
GAHHHHH!!!! Avengers was delightful kick-assery with whipped fun on top!!! Well done Joss et al! twitpic.com/98rbj7
— Chris Hardwick (@nerdist) April 12, 2012
The Hulk we have been waiting for has at last arrived. #AvengersFuckYeah
THE AVENGERS was fantastic. Whedon crushed it, guys. It’s everything you’re hoping for.
— Ben Pearson (@benpears) April 12, 2012 — Damon Lindelof (@DamonLindelof) April 12, 2012
So that was AMAZING. Like, double plus awesome. Thank you Joss Whedon for giving us all the #Avengers movie we deserve. #OnlyYou

‘The Avengers’ is a big tub of popcorn heaven. A huge grin on my face throughout and much applause from the crowd too. Well done Mr. Whedon. — edgarwright (@edgarwright) April 12, 2012
