You should see the Imax next door with over 600 seats I think, and half a dozen more the size we were in tonight. Did you get a free comic? they were offering a choice of Ironman or Thor, I chose Thor, seems to be a promotion by the http://www.worldofsuperheroes.com as their card is stapled to the bag. Quite a few small kids at the screening having a very late night.steve9872 wrote:Just back from the Sheffield premiere.
I arrived at 6.30pm and there was already a big queue which got bigger and bigger, and was very slow to move. It took a while to find out what was happening, turns out security was taking phones and then sweeping everyone with metal detectors. They did a thorough job of it.
Into the cinema itself and I didn't know they made them so big anymore, I did a rough count of the seats and came up with 500.
As for the movie itself, it was an action fest pretty much from the word go, plenty of set piece battles including avenger v avenger v avenger. I really enjoyed it and there were plenty of in-jokes to keep us amused, and Stan Lee turned up as usual near the end.
For me it's on a par with John Carter (which I liked) with pros and cons for each with this one having a better script and funnier lines but felt a bit overlong for me and I was flagging by the end and would have been happy if it had ended before the New York bit.
and did [spoiler]Spiderman[/spoiler]not appear in a cameo after all? I didn't spot him.
oh and I hardly noticed the 3D, so not worth bothering with p*ying for 3D for anyone else yet to see it.
