Will you be watching the AVENGERS with these 3D glasses? Or these Darth Maul 3D glasses with that?
Hey folks, Harry here... Over on my Facebook, "theReluctantAustinite," asked me if I was going to collect these.
I really dig the HULK & IRON MAN & CAPTAIN AMERICA glasses, but I'm a bit disappointed in THOR's. The design just doesn't scream "THE GOD OF THUNDER" to me. Also... I want Purple HAWKEYE ones and some sexy Black Widow glasses that are feminine for the ladies, what love superheroes! No matter... We'll be seeing THE AVENGERS this summer - and some of us will be wearing these... So that THE AVENGERS looks like this...
No sooner do I post this, than StarWars' Twitter posts up this:
Those will be at all RealD theaters apparently. Where are the Jar Jar glasses? Or LittleAni 3D Pod Racing Goggles?

I agree about the Thor glasses, and I want some Hawkeye specs too!
by The Reluctant Austinite
They'll only be an extra $4.99, which I think is reasonable and fair for collectors. I actually think this is pretty "cool." It still seems unreal to me, as a Bronze Age Marvel Kid, that in six months we'll be seeing a live action Avengers movie in the multiplexes. Wow. If the Mayans were right, at least we'll see the Avengers before the end of all things. The age of Geeks is here.

alls they need is a lot of scenes with the iron,captain,thor&hulk together and the movie should be ok

I'd prefer optically correct 3D glasses.

i'll have mysterious island glasses for sure, and deffinately the mauls
by Youre_Gonna_Bust_Dixie

Only when 3D movies becomes glasses free-- and cost the same as non-3D movies--- will I fully support the format. I'm still very wary of the format at this point. Unwanted 3D glasses, as someone correctly pointed out, will be filling up a landfill one day.

Those Captain America glasses are MINE! Love the "A" in the center!
by The Reluctant Austinite
I like that the Hulk glasses have an enlarged, angry brow. The Iron Man glasses make sense, but the Thor glasses needed to be rethought. It's funny that there is no Hawkeye glasses as he is the one character in the movie that actually wears sunglasses!

sunwukong86... I'd love to be able to say youre right but...
by workshed
...something tells me it's here to stay after testing one of the new LG 3D passive systems. It looked great from wherever I stood. Unlike previous 'experiments', it seems like every manufacturer in the world is racing to perfect the glasses-free model and I'm sure it won't be long. I've no problem with the idea of 3D at all. That ideal of a more immersive cinema should appeal to every film-goer, as long as it's taking the viewer right into the centre of the action. Can you imagine if something as brutal as 'Battle of Algiers' had been filmed in 3D..?! Of course, it should never be at the expense of all the requisite elements of what makes truly great Cinema.

..I don't get good vibes from this...You need Giant Man and Wasp to fill out the Team.

While we're on the subject...is anyone gonna review the 3D Phantom Menance?
by Jobacca
Because as much as I hate and revile that movie,I'm actually curious to see how George Lucas post converts a movie from 1999 into 3D. If done right,I actually have to admit that the Pod Race alone might be worth the price of admission. And Darth Maul. IF I see it,I'll be sitting in the back of an empty theater so I can fuck around on my phone during the boring parts(i.e. 90% of the movie).
-
i guess i wont be upset when those are probably the only ones they have left when i see the movie.

Thor glasses are unThor-like, but look like they'd work the best
by Dreamwriter
The lenses look larger/less blocked than the other glasses

The only one who wears glasses in the movie... missed opportunity.

LOL so the only guy who wears glasses in the movie doesn't get 3d glasses?
by Crooooooow
Marketing peeps is stupid.

Jan. 30, 2012, 9:19 p.m. CST
hm, wonder if black widow and hawkeye become traitorous?
by zom-bot.com
or if the marketing just know they suck- they're normal people. well, i guess Stark is too, but at least he's got personality.
-
They're really shoving this 3D shit down our throat and people are slurping it down like Harry gobbling Sly's load. Well I saw the Star Tours thing at Disney and it had a 3D pod race and space battle deal so I get the gist.
-
I'll see this in 2D for sure if I have that option. If not, i'll stay home.

How many years has 3d been JUST on the verge of going away now?
by gotilk
You sad fucks will still be saying it in 6 more years. Give up. It's like that cliche moment at the end of a movie when the bad guy has lost and he hasn't figured it out yet...like the moment at the end of Witness with Ford and the old guy... *It's OVER..... it's DONE... (finger of doom) It's over!!* Shitty conversions could have killed it, but even that didn't. For the thousandth time... if you hate 3d, please pluck out one of your eyes. Your pick you prick.
-
in the trailer. Stark, "If we can't save Earth, at least we can AVENGE it." That line is as bad as, "It's the perfect storm!" being said in the movie...THE PERFECT STORM. I don't expect this movie to be anywhere near as good as Iron Man, because I think it's just supposed to be light entertainment like a roller coaster ride but that line made the whole trailer cringe worthy. Whedon did Buffy which was silly stuff, so maybe this will be too.
-
Can we get some reporting on the tie in slurpee cups? Darth Maul LOL
-
Holy Christ. Do you actually think that is a proper sentence?
-
I just want to sit down and watch a movie. I don't want to put on glasses, get a headache, and watch crap come out of the screen. Avatar and Tintin had good 3D, but I'm sure my experience would've been just as good without it. And I am seeing the Phantom Menace in 3D. Yes, I know I would be a hyprocrite by doing so but.......come on. Its Star Wars. I cannot resist.

Judging from the advertising you'd think Darth Maul is in TPM far more than Jar Jar
by Nerd Rage
They're really hoping people are dumb enouh to forget that Jar Jar is in 80% of the movie.
-
Yes, but Thor was the best post-converted 3D movie ever. I assume it'll be the same guys doing this one, which means it'll be done well.
-
Take a look at the audience percentage statistics. Not today, not this summer, but it is steadily becoming less profitable.
-
So I don't think it's going anywhere.

Something to consider-what if Episode 1 is a HUGE hit this time?
by Jobacca
Theres a whole generation of kids who have grown up with THE CLONE WARS/Prequels....as an old-school fan,we may not like it,but there are A LOT of kids who are into Star Wars now who could give s shit about the OT. Plus its Feb...not a lot of competition right now. Especially for the kids. What if Episode 1 in 3D makes more than it did the first time around? What if kids everywhere start flooding their Walmarts looking for Jar-Jar merchandise? What if Lucas ACTUALLY knows what he's doing?

All the theaters by me fuck up 3d movies making them too dam dark

I hated seeing Cap in 3d, because of how dark it was. So I will be watching the Avengers in 2D.

People who go see Episode 1 need to be registered and put on trains.
by Onin Solstice
We all KNOW it sucks now! Lucas got us the first time on hype, but now we all know there's a Jar Jar fart joke in this sumbitch!
-
So he got lucky with Star Wars. The other 2 were directed by better Directors and thats it.. American Graffiti il give him but everything else he can fuck off with... Indiana Jones is a Spielberg film and if Lucas had made it we would be watching ROTLA right now in its 8th edition with added fucking sparkle... George Lucas you can fuck off!!
-
AMC Theaters will feature kid-friendly podracing goggles versions of the RealD 3D glasses for an additional fee.
-
"This stuff was trash when it was new." No matter. I'll be watching The Avengers like everyone else.

Fuck the turd dimension.

George Lucas and the Coming 3D BluRay Star Wars Re-Release
by ass clown
Fuck You George. We all know that you forced the speed of the BluRay re-release so that there would be a gap between the release of the 3D versions. How many times can you re-release a set of movies? I can think of three of four times that Star Wars was re-released on VHS, then DVD, and now BluRay.
-
or do we have to give them back after the movie is done ?
-
Jan. 31, 2012, 7:41 a.m. CST
Shouldn't Hawkeye get 3-D glasses since he's the only one who wears glasses??
by MoneyGrabSequel
-
Some folks need to stop demanding that inherently silly/fun material need be sophisticated/dark/etc. Why? To validate the fact that you are an adult and still interested in it? Try channeling your inner child instead of insisting that kids stuff be more adult. You'll probably enjoy it more.

They really should have Black Widow glasses for the girls
by Joe Plumber

I wonder what 3d glasses that scream god of thunder would look like....

Are you people ever going to fucking get over Lucas already?
by Mugato5150
Jesus Christ, it's been almost 13 years since you all starting bitching about Lucas and the prequels. There are people who can legally drink in the US who were in second grade when you started crying. MOVE ON.
-
It's the same tech that Viewmaster came out with in 1939. Two planes of focus and that's it. Period. Douglas Trumbull's Showscan is a vastly superior process that more accurately approximates reality. If you haven't seen it, it's like looking at the real world. Not a gimmick that's hasn't changed since it that guy bounced a rubber ball at the audience's face in House of Wax way back in 1953. Fact.
-
Got an Optimus Prime mask/glasses as a BotCon freebie last year... hard as hell to take to the movies. I'm proud of being a geek-gal, but there's a limit just *how* geeky I want to be. The theaters probably won't get those Darth Maul ones back.

by dahveed1972

Even though you're right about The Avengers potentially being a disaster Marvel's track record in the movie department is pretty good if not excellent (Captain America and Iron Man). I'd have more concerned if this was DC making a Justice League movie.
-
Jan. 31, 2012, 4:12 p.m. CST
And i think the glasses are kinda cool. I like how the Hulk ones look angry. Still gonna do 2d, unless theres a consensus that it actually adds something.
by dahveed1972
If most of the scenes are daytime, maybe the darkening wont be a big issue. 2d the first viewing, and if its good enough to justify an 2nd viewing then maybe 3d. I like the Thor glasses best btw, although they're the least identifiable.
-
I will never again give Lucas any of my money.

Jan. 31, 2012, 7:38 p.m. CST
I'd just as soon not have to wear any of the damn things. Oh, and the Thor glasses look more like The Falcon.
by kevred
If they're going to start with this collectible bullshit, they're going to have to stop forcing us to pay extra for the damn glasses at every film. Unless 3D films cost 40% more to make, we're all getting seriously ripped off with every ticket.
