Avengers Assemble

Don't forget the European Premiere will be held at VUE Westfield in Shepherd's Bush, London on 19th April. Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Mark Ruffalo, Cobie Smulders & Clark Gregg will all be in attendance.

I think Stark appears at the end of all Avengers 'prequels'.

No he doesn't...but Nick Fury does. Stark only appears at the end of The Incredible Hulk.

Ha! Got confused, yes, Fury appears at the end of all of them.

There's also the sequel to The Hulk which is The Incredible Hulk.

The Incredible Hulk was a reboot of Hulk, so probably don't need to watch both (that and the fact that Hulk was a poor film).

Each to his own, but many consider Ang Lee's HULK to be the superior one. I preferred the newer one, mainly due to the breakneck pacing and multiple homages to the TV show, but I loved the other one as well. It's certainly the more ambitious, more complex of the two. And even though The Incredible Hulk (2008) is a reboot, it works as a sequel too since HULK ends off in South America and this one one starts there.

Yeah, I like to look at it as a sequel of sorts and I love the first one more (except the ending effects in the climatic fight was a deplorable mess). The new Hulk film was disappointing. Now we have 3 consecutive actors playing Banner in 3 films!

I've just had a notification from sky about the time this will be on.

We are emailing to inform you that MARVELS AVENGERS ASSEMBLE screening Thursday 19 April, will be starting at 7:30pm, so please arrive at 7pm.

This is an hour later than the previously scheduled time of 6pm for 6:30pm.

My prayers have been answered.
18h00 for 18h30 would have been near impossible.

totally agree.

Like the Batman movies, the Hulk films are total contrasts in the challenges they offer our hero, which is what I like about them. The 2nd hulk is a about physical, visceral challenges (Abdomination) whereas the first is steeped in freudian psychology with the psychological barriers Banner faces from his father and mother. The first is the best totally, even if the jittery script held it back. That could have been the best superhero movie ever with a bit more work.

3 Banners!

For anyone who has been to Greenwich before for a film, would it be wise to still show up as if it was starting at 6-6:30? I'm thinking crowds, lines, people not knowing of the time change, limited venues etc.

For the simple reason that i'm attending a VFX training seminar down London that day and it ends at 4pm with an hour breakout session at the end, and its a 30 minute train ride+delays/walking to Greenwich. Just thinking if i have time for a stroll around the town, resturaut to fill up on many assorted foods, etc. Or do i want to get there ASAP and rush there as soon as its over and fill up on Malteasers (my version of Popcorn for cinemas)?

I would definitely make an effort to get there as early as possible. Even though the Sky Superscreen is massive, I'm expecting this screening to be hideously oversubscribed. Get there by 18h00-18h30 to be safe. If you have a friend, go in together and at least claim yourself a pair of seats. After that you can come out and load up on refreshments.
