    Says the guy who believes Avengers Assemble was one of last year's best films. A film with minimal plot and terrible, terrible acting.

    Whereas Prometheus had an excellent script and the actors/cast did a fine job. In fact, they were top notch, could not expect better.

    Basically, Prometheus' cast and script were a over a hundred times better than Avengers' cast and script. And that's not an opinion. That's a fact. ;)

    Compare the film making expertise of those two films. And Prometheus is, by any standard, a far, far better film, with excellent actors, and a believable, well paced and excellently dialogued script. It's like comparing Godzilla to King Kong. One's you're usual Hollywood disaster. The other is a film that's impressive in many, many ways and literally groundbreaking for the entire genre.

    Oh. And Scarlett Johansen is an awful actress. I'm sorry. I know she's very pretty. But her ability to act is laughable.

    Being a Marvel fan, I thoroughly enjoyed The Avengers. But putting all bias aside, Avengers is a poorly made film. It's VFX team did a brilliant job. But unfortunately that's the only really good aspect that can be applauded. The actors were so bad, they made almost every scene feel cheap, tacky, cliché and awfully B-List.

    Unless, of course, it's a "fact" you disagree with. And the general opinion favored Avengers over Prometheus; not that it proves anything - which I'm not trying to do in the first place. I was just sharing my opinion of Prometheus, which I enjoyed, but wasn't an outstanding movie by any means.
    I like Ultimate Comics. - Read them with us!

    I also buy: Captain America, Avengers, FF, New Avengers, X-Factor, among others

    Yeah, that's sound. I came down a little hard then.

    Plenty of people have already given the correct answer so I don't need to tell you again to read it... I'm here to advise against spending $20 on it. Who's trying to charge $20 for that book?

    $19.99 is the cover price listed on The Comic Book DB for the TPB.
    Since then I've found the HC cheaper on Amazon.
