Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Re: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

I found it enjoyable.

I just don't think it was even close to being as good as Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy (my personal fave), or the first Avengers.

Felt almost like a filler movie. They had a bunch of unnecessary plot lines that I wouldn't say were fleshed out.

Then like some have said, Ultron was pretty weak. I don't know.

I guess I just want my antagonist to have that final boss feel going against the all star team of superheroes. Like a Brock Lesnar in WWE. Or a Shin Akuma in Street Fighter Alpha 3.

I didnt get that with him at all. So that was disappointing.

Like I said, I enjoyed it. I wasn't bored. But it just doesn't compare to their other films in my opinion.

I can agree with a lot of this.

I will say...

Spoiler

I wish the movie had more of a dark ending. I was hoping that Cap and Iron Man would have ended on a darker tone. With all that Ultron had planned they really could have played up the fissure between those 2. It would have made Ultron even more powerful because they would have had to work together to solve a common problem but still disliked each other. The fact that it ended so conciliatory bothered me lol.

Might be because of where they're taking the series.

I didn't care for the mushy side story lines.... That ruins alot of movies for me but overall I enjoyed it.

Re: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Just got out from i and I liked it and had fun but it wasn't better than the first one or Winter Soldier. I think I even enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy more.

I know its a TV show and probably shouldn't compare but Daredevil is the best thing Marvel has out to date.

Anyway, I'm not disappointed, had some awesome scenes and a lot of good banter just not my fave to come out of the MCU.

I basically agree with this take 100% For me Guardians is better than both Avengers movies and it's not really close. This was a really good movie, there is just other stuff out there that is better, no shame in that.

It's a credit to just how good most of these Marvel movies (and TV show in Daredevil) have been that you can easily make the argument that there are better movies in this universe than The Avengers.

You mean the Black Widow/Hulk stuff? I personally liked it. Especially with what they did with Hulk at the end.

Re: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Saw it last night at a midnight show. Really enjoyed it, although as an old comic fan I was somewhat disappointed with some things. Guess I should spoiler this:

Spoiler

I was a really big fan of the Vision and I thought he'd be a much cooler character as being played by Paul Bettany. Think if they used a more robotic voice for him or maybe did him in CGI... Just didn't seem as cool as I expected him to be. And don't think they ever explained what his abilities were, other than he has one of the soul gems.

Also thought the design of Ultron would've been more menacing. I guess they were going more for creepy. I liked Spader voicing him but for whatever reason the fact his mouth articulated and he had teeth(?) just seemed weird to me. Not sure how he is in the current gen comics but that wasn't the case back in the day. Also thought the mid-credits scene could've been cooler/stronger - didn't have the impact of the reveal in the the 1st Avengers movie.

Still was an enjoyable movie, I do want to see it again. Even funnier than the first, character development was good despite the huge roster of characters

Hawk eye as well.

It slows the story to much and appears like filler content

I enjoyed it because it made me care about Hulk, Widow, and Hawkeye outside of the fact that they can kick ***

Re: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

I also liked the Hawkeye angle. Didn't expect that at all. Then again I've had a thing for Linda Cardellini since Freaks and Geeks so I may be biased lol.

lol when she showed up I was like hey its the cute nerdy girl from freaks and geeks. I thought Hawkeye was great way better then he was in the first movie when it felt like he shouldn't didn't even need to be in the movie. I think he was one of the best things about this movie. I have this as like the 2nd or 3erd best movie in the MCU but I don't think the MCU is even close to as good has people say. TWS is the only great MCU movie. Avengers and avengers AOU are both good, Iron man 3 slightly good and Gardens slightly good. The rest of the MCU movies or ok/bad.

Re: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Gotta say though, the combo of Thors Hammer with Caps shield is ****ing awesome.

Re: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

I loved the movie and will watch it multiple times but for me, I enjoyed Winter Soldier and Guardians just a little more. That's not to say that AoU sucked. It's a credit to James Gunn and the Russo brothers about how good their movies were

I'm actually not sure. This one definitely had a cooler premise but its almost like "been there, done that." The Hulk and Black Widow thing to me was soo stupid, definitely could of done without it. Yet on the other hand I liked Hawkeye's reveal, I felt like that painted a very interesting imagine of what their fighting for but forgot they were fighting for it.

And Hulk!!!!! Loved him in the first, beyond his one big scene that's shown in every commercial, I felt like he was a wasted character. Banner was okay, but the Hulk was an after thought and that blows my mind with how popular he was in the first and how he's the only true character without his own movie.

With all that being said, I still enjoyed it, but it didn't do anything the first of didn't do.

Re: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Here's a few random thoughts I had on the film and decided to spoiler it just in case.

Spoiler

The first one is better in my opinion. This one missed the mark because it was trying to do so much. It's amazing it turned out as well as it did because it could have been an ultimate disaster lol.

I would have loved to see a more focused plot. By that I mean more of a laser focus on certain characters and their relationships(Iron Man and Captain America specifically". This movie suffers from what a lot of marvel movies suffer from.

The people in charge of the movie have to be the slave to many Masters. They are a part of an existing universe so they can't just do whatever they like. And the Avengers movies suffer from this EVEN MORE so than other movies since there are so many heroes in one film.

I wish Whedon would have relegated most characters to background roles and instead focused on Ultron and his plan to destroy the Avengers and earth. Ultron played by Spader to me could have been Kingpin good if he was developed enough. He could have pushed the Avengers much like Joker and Bane did Batman in that trilogy.

That would have helped put this movie in the range of GotG and Winter Solider. Instead we a got a solid movie that tried to be too many things at once. Here's to hoping the Russo brothers aren't pressured to wear so many hats and can just tell a solid story.

This is one of the reasons why I wish these movies had tie in short films for the "lesser characters. " This would give characters like Hulk, Hawkeye, and Black Widow the time they deserve.

I can just imagine how cool it would be to have a fully fleshed out tie in for the love affair between Hulk and Black Widow. Or a short film for Hawkeye and his family. I think a tie in short film is much needed for universes as big as these but I'm sure that's not very realistic. These characters are played by some great actors that to me really sell the roles. The tie in films really would bring out how good these guys are at their roles. Loki or even Fury, after Winter Soldier, getting a tie in would have been nuts. But again thats lot lol. im dreaming here.
