Crazy Credits

Although a co-production between Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox, either one of the logos appears at the beginning: Paramount in the US version and Fox in the international version. Yet ironically, Paramount is mentioned first in the international credits while Fox is mentioned first in the US credits.

---

Alternate Versions

The Paramount logo starts the film in the U.S. and Canadian versions; the version released in Europe and Asia has the 20th Century Fox logo at the beginning.

User Reviews

Why low score?

People are crazy. They rate Avengers so high and they rate this masterpiece low? This is beyond absurd. You guys should encourage great filmmakers like this one not stupid ones like the super hero franchises. For the love of god.
