Avengers: Age of Ultron

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm looking forward to this movie quite a bit.

[JimmyMess]

I love that Cap makes the hammer move a bit.

I'm getting the feeling that Cap will successfully pick up the hammer after Thor falls in battle.

I have that feeling too

[JimmyMess]

where is Winter Soldier going to fit in during all of this? Sebastian Stan signed for multiple films did he not?

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah he did. I assume he'll factor in Civil War (as a Cap series character specifically). He could pop up anywhere just due to his ambiguous alignment and history. I'd love to see him pop up in SHIELD.

[Sixx]

Is that his official look for the movie?

Pretty cool.

[The Destroyer]

It does look like Paul Bettany, so I'd guess probably.

[Fignuts]

Ultron origin:

Lot of people grumbling about this. Specifically the chitauri part. Overreacting imo. Stark still creates Ultron. He just starts with the computer program. Nice way to keep everything tied together. They can probably even still do Ultron's oedipal complex if they wanted too.

Who was the chick in the cave?

[Fignuts]

First trailer showed me enough. Going dark on this, til release.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, I think I won't watch anything else that comes out....

[Kalyx triaD]

New trailer Thursday.

[rad dggy dg]

How will they work Aquaaaman into this

[Shadow]

Well you see what they'll do is give him a flat top, put pointy elf ears on him, wings on his ankles, and give him an unhealthy obsession with the Invisible Woman.

[Miotch]

Sounds like a mutant. Wouldn't that be FOX?

[Jura]

Who was the chick in the cave?
I think she may be related to the Chitauri/Asgard aspect of the movie since there is a scene with Thor in a similar rocky environment and small pond.

[Jura]

So do you guys think the Avengers will be like the WWE face locker room and when they seem to be beaten here comes Stone Cold Steve Vision to clear out the ring?

[loopydate]

You mean THE OLLLLLLLLLLD STONE COLD?

[JimmyMess]

OH HE'S TAWLKIN' HE'S TAWLKIN'!


yes that will happen and it will be glorious

[alvarado52]

Pure speculation here, but do you think that the yellow stone is the Soul infinity stone on Vision?

[Sixx]

What yellow stone?

[Rammsteinmad]

Incredible.

[Jura]

The one on his forehead in the trailer.

[XL]

Am I right in thinking this comes out a week earlier in the UK? April 24th?

[Sixx]

Am I right in thinking this comes out a week earlier in the UK? April 24th?

Not sure, but I know it's been the case with at least Thor, which premiered in US two or even three weeks later than rest of the world.

[slik]

It probably is an Infinity Gem because...

I read an interview where Chris Hemsworth said in order to defeat Ultron, Thor would have to return to Asgard and bring back something to Earth that was of immense power to turn the tide in the favor of the Avengers

SLIK'S BOLD PREDICTION:

Thanos put the malfunctioning virus in the Chitauri's technology, in the event that they lost their war on Earth, because Thanos is always 5 steps ahead of everyone else. He probably knew mankind would try to use the technology in some way and his virus would turn their own technology against them.

[Shadow]

That's if Ultron has anything to do with anything found in the ruins of New York. My bet is that Ultron's an old version of JARVIS that Tony worked on but didn't like the look of so he mothballed it. Then brought it back out. Only I guess the AI didn't like being mothballed and well...Age of Ultron happens.

It has been confirmed already that ultron was a computer program found in the chitauri

[Fignuts]

loki's sceptor?

Loki's sceptor is on earth, not asgard.

His gem has never been an infinity gem in the comics, to my knowledge. Just a part of his design. Wouldn't mind if it was in the movie tho.

[Lock Jaw]

I have shown incredible restraint in not watching this latest trailer. Kudos to me.

[alvarado52]

Right, but seems like a convenient way to introduce Soul into the MCU, and makes a fairly good amount of sense...except we'd have to assume Vision will be killed off by Thanos when he retrieves it.

[Fignuts]

I lasted about 30 seconds.

touche. i forgot.

[alvarado52]

Did they ever say if Marvel has rights to use all characters related to Spidey, or just Spidey himself?

[Shadow]

Right, but seems like a convenient way to introduce Soul into the MCU, and makes a fairly good amount of sense...except we'd have to assume Vision will be killed off by Thanos when he retrieves it.

Soul is gonna be where it always is. With Adam Warlock.

[Fignuts]

Did they ever say if Marvel has rights to use all characters related to Spidey, or just Spidey himself?

Since they're making their own spidey movie, I'd assume they can use other characters too.

[Sixx]

It would be retarded, but also kind of funny if they could only use Spidey and FOX kept releasing things like MJ vs Green Goblin or whatever.

[Miotch]

Sony, not FOX.

[Sixx]

Ok.

[Sixx]

Fag.

[Miotch]

Also, would it really have been HILARIOUS?

[Sixx]

Yes.

[Sixx]

Fag.

[Kalyx triaD]

Quick 'fun trailer'. Lots of new footage focusing on action. Warning: spoils a new team up attack that follows up on the quick Cap/Stak reflected beam move from Avengers 1. If you don't wanna know don't watch.

Woohoo!!! Looks amazing! Seriously this film is gonna top the first one easily!

Caps costume looks awesome too! They keep getting better and better!

[loopydate]

Goosebumps.

Six more weeks, fellas. Almost there.

[Damian Rey]

Outside of the Avengers suit, I've always liked the suits they've pumped out for Cap.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I am staying away from all things "Avengers" until the film comes out, including this thread...now!

gonna get taken down very soon I assume

[Rammsteinmad]

Holy fucking amazing banana shit!!!!! This is incredible! God I love Marvel!!! :D :D :D

[Rammsteinmad]

Ok some of the comments saying it's fake. But whatever, it's still amazing and doesn't seem that hard to believe that it's legit.

[Sixx]

Looks legit to me, but who knows really.

[Miotch]

I had actually heard there was no post credits scene in this one.

[Sixx]

I had actually heard there was no post credits scene in this one.

Which means absolutely nothing.

That's the kinda shit Whedon does.

[Kalyx triaD]

They said there was a stinger after the usual 'animated' credits and no post credits scene.

On the other hand, that's a really good fake with Joss written all over it.

[Sixx]

Whedon could always just say that who saying who created Spiderman is also credits.

Whatever, movie's gonna be out soon, if this is a fake it's a really fuckin' good one.

[alvarado52]

That end credit scene has been up for well over 24 hours...if it were remotely legit, they'd have brought that down with a swiftness.

[Sixx]

Leaked mid-credits scene.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Just got back. Thought it was good, not great. Definitely seems to be a case of having to keep too many plates spinning. I'll write up more with spoiler tags in the morning.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

May be being a bit harsh on it due to the high standards that have been set, but it all just fell a bit flat with me.

[Rammsteinmad]

That's how I felt with The Dark Knight Rises after the success of The Dark Knight.

I'll be seeing Avengers in German, so probably won't understand most of it anyway. :(

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Okay so a few thoughts on the film which will include spoilers...

So for the most part it felt like this film should've really been called "Avengers: Civil War-Prologue" since the majority of the fims narrative was just to set up Civil War, as well as Black Panther and the next Thor film. So it never had the feeling of the epic culmination of previous films like the first Avengers had, and it was more of a stepping stone. The humour in this one fell flat for the most part for me as well. There just seemed something off about it but couldn't put my finger on it. Like almost every joke was poorly timed. One joke about Captain America and swearing, which wasn't funny the first time, was repeated about 5 or 6 times throughout. The action scenes were obviously great, but the best bits were saved til the end when they actually had to rescue the civilians rather than just meaninglessly pound on robots. There were a few great group shots like the spinning shot from Avengers. One right at the beginning with the 6 core guys, one in the final battle with Vision and the twins added in, and one at the very end with the New Avengers which was great. The party scene from the trailer was very good just because it was cool seeing all these characters just interacting socially. Speaking of the characters themselves...

Banner and Black Widow - Im not really into the idea of these two hooking up and felt the only thing it added really was the emotional spark at the end when Hulk left the group.

Thor - Didn't really do much other than add some muscle to the group and then set things up for Ragnarok. Moved the infinity gems arc along though. Constant running jokes about Mjolnir which were hit and miss, the best coming at the end along the lines of "so if the hammer's in an elevator, and lifts it, is the elevator worthy?"

Cap - Again was mostly used to set up the next film and add a bit of muscle to the group

Iron Man - Was front and centre again but seemed to lack the usual wit, and again just setting up Civil War with him and Cap going at each other.

Vision - Straight out of the comics. A bit rushed, but fine.

The twins - Wanda was great, Quicksilver was okay. Fully expected his death since every other actor had already been confirmed for future films.

Ultron - I still genuinely don't know what to think about Ultron. His creation was really rushed, but the introduction was cool, much of which was seen in the trailer. I didn't like how he was so full of mirth and wisecracking all the time though. Was hoping his character in particular was going to be much darker than it was. The Crimson Cowl nod was good though.

And finally Hawkeye - Absolutely stole the show. The "average Joe who grounds the team and keeps this gang of powerhouses together" gimmick worked to perfection, pretty similar to how Whedon used to use Xander back in Buffy. He was the funniest character too which is a huge credit to Renner's delivery which for some reason seemed a little Bill Murray-esque to me. "We're on a floating island, fighting an army of robots and I'm here with a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense." I liked how he was the only one who could beat Wanda too.

Post credits scene with Thanos was sweet but nothing new really.

Probably sounds like I didn't enjoy it, but I did. Its just that the faults are fresher in my mind because I was expecting something more.

[slik]

^

A lot of people seem to feel the same way you do, that it is good but not as good as the first Avengers. I thought the first one was overrated tbh (outside of Loki and Loki/Hulk scene). I'm curious about this one but I do wish that

Ultron was menacing and darker, like how his voice sounded in the trailer, he was super ominous and threatening there

and a lot of people have said that Hawkeye steals the show and Vision and the Scarlet Witch are really cool which I wasn't expecting.

I look forward to seeing it still.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Just came back from seeing it; I liked it, but I don't think it was as good as the first Avengers film and definitely not as good as Winter Soldier or Guardians. It seemed to have been spread a bit too thin.

[Rammsteinmad]

With Infinity War already being announced, Civil War in the works and generally the whole Thanos/Infinity Gems thing building up, the overall impression I'm getting is that Avengers was fantastic because it was the payoff to the Phase One build up, whereas this one feels completely like just another movie in the build up to Infinity War.

[Rammsteinmad]

I'm still pumped! I've enjoyed all MCU films, including Incredible Hulk, so I'm super excited to see this. (Even if it will be in German...)

[Asmo]

Saw it Friday, and i'll try and attempt a spoiler-free opinion. I'll also compare AOU to The Avengers.

I remember walking in to The Avengers without any expectations. I'd only watched Iron Man and Iron Man 2 before, and really wasn't clued in to the MCU. The Avengers changed that. Here was a movie that attempted to tie in various properties to create seamless entertainment, and it worked, adding a lot of wit, humour along the way. It felt new and fresh. I hadn't been entertained by a movie like The Avengers in years!

Now, fast forward to last Friday. I follow the MCU, well, almost all of it (haven't seen Agent Carter). The characters are all out there, and some of them had fantastic stories along the way (really liked Iron Man 3 and The Winter Soldier). Even though i don't have great expectations from AOU, subconsciously, i hope it's able to deliver the same rush the first film had given me. It doesn't.

It's definitely a GOOD movie. It's popcorn entertainment, and gives you moments to cherish. But, it isn't groundbreaking. It isn't fresh. It felt like a chapter, meant to progress a larger story forward. It felt, a tad formulaic. It didn't feel like the epic the first one was. Should it have? Could it have? Yeah, i'd want it to.

[XL]

My expectations were through the roof going in and I think they delivered. The opening long-shot action sequence was fantastic, most of the humour was on point, the bait and switch with Hawkeye and Quicksilver ("You didn't see that coming!"), I think they got the balance between dealing with this immediate threat, and setting up the next slate of movies just about right; there should be themes that tie everything together.

Maybe some are feeling a little fatigued by the main characters? GOTG was a hit in part to the unknown quantity/low expectations vibe, Avengers (and its solo films) don't get the benefit of that after 10+ installments.

My fiancee gave it 10/10 so no complaints from me.

(Though I did sit right to the end only to get an 'Avengers will return' message. Pah!)

[The Destroyer]

Enjoyed it, not quite as good as the first one but it was a good film nonetheless.

Not really going to say any more than that since I can't be arsed messing around with spoiler tags.

[XL]

As for the choices they made with Ultron, I kind of see what they were going for. Ultron has a personality; he's not a robot, he's an individual. More so, he's Tony's creation, the wisecracking probably acts as a reflection of Tony.

[RP]

So Quicksilver died?

[KIRA]

Pretty much what I thought I enjoyed it for what it was but not like the first one (nowhere near as pumped and stuff Ive seen or expected) I liked Ultron though

[McLegend]

Days of Future Past QuickSilver was better.

I don't know if it's as good as The Avengers, but it was still really good. I'm Pumped for Civil War.

[McLegend]

Also ending of Iron Man 3... Pretty useless in hindsight? Or did I miss something?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Can someone else please back me up in the whole Jeremy Renner channeling Bill Murray thing?

[Black Widow]

I think that it probably was better than the 1st, for me anyway.

GOTG
Winter Solider
AOU

My top Marvel movies.

[slik]

Back from seeing it.

I preferred this one to the previous one, because I felt the first Avengers was overrated and struggled to figure out if it was based in TDK real world or Iron Man 'sort of' real world.

I didn't mind the Hulk/Black Widow romance surprisingly. I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed Hawkeye, Vision and Scarlet Witch. Big congrats to Marvel for now having not one but two badass female Avengers. Yes, it spent time setting up future films but superheroes and comics are soap-operatic in nature. Long-form storytelling never bothers me and this an example of that well done.

I'm not sure where it ranks in the pantheon of Marvel films but Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy are still easily my two favorite MCU films.

[Shadow]

Anyone feel that Joss Whedon really just didn't give a shit with this one? Like it was good but there was stuff he could've done better with. It's like he just...didn't want to take the time to tell some of the story.

[Frank Drebin]

Tripled up on the humor which got annoying. Why didn't Ultron just kill Black Widow? I thought SHIELD was.....Where did that and those people....I dunno....overloaded right now. Good movie.

[The Destroyer]

There was apparently a lot of stuff cut from the film, which may explain it.

[Lock Jaw]

Just got back... I don't know how I feel about this movie... I dunno.... Can't even formulate my thoughts on the matter....

Definitely low on the totem pole of Phase Two movies, though.

[Lock Jaw]

Real disappointed that they only used the "Avengers Theme" from the first movie in the credits... Loved that theme, and the use of it in the action scenes in the first movie....

[Lock Jaw]

Would have been ok with it if they replaced it with another sweet theme/music.... but feel like the music in the film was not up to par....

[McLegend]

You heard some of the theme throughout the movie.

[loopydate]

I loved it. Obviously, the bar was impossibly high after the first, but I feel like this movie did a better job of fleshing out several characters (Hawkeye in particular) than most of the rest of the MCU flicks have. I, too preferred the Days Of Future Past Pietro, but I enjoyed this one a lot too.

And they did a great job with Wanda and Vision. Great intros for those two characters. Also loved that they sorta kinda planted the seeds for a romance between those two

Marvel continue to knock it out of the park with regards to casting. Every role was perfectly cast, especially Spader. His Ultron was terrifying BECAUSE he was sort of jocular. He'd have been much less intimidating if he was just speechifying the whole time. Him having a bit of "humanity" made his "beliefs" that much more chilling.

The mid-credit scene kinda felt like more of the same, but I'm still excited for what it means.

I'd put it behind the original, Winter Soldier, and Guardians at least, but it's still in the top tier of the MCU

[Rammsteinmad]

Finally gonna see this today! In IMAX 3D... I dunno what that means but it sounds exciting!

Found it in English too! Since I'm now in Berlin again.

[Nicky Fives]

Not a huge Marve/ super hero movie guy, but my g/f is.... I like AOU a hell of a lot more than the first Avengers....

[Rammsteinmad]

WOOHOO!!!!

Okay, first off, I love it! Any criticisms I make aren't so much complaining, because overall I loved this film. It definitely felt like "another chapter" as a lot of people have already stated. Feeling more like a transitional stage into the Phase Three, and in some ways I think it's the same as why I didn't enjoy The Dark Knight Rises as much, because quite simply The Avengers was the big pay-off that we were all waiting for. By now, we've had so many MCU movies, that seeing them all in one movie isn't as exciting. With that said, Infinity War really, really needs to step up BIG TIME in order to compete with anything Marvel have done before.

Hawkeye's "speech" to fire up Wanda was great! The "The city is flying, we're fighting robots, and I have a bow and arrow" was really great. Wanda and Quicksilver were done pretty well, and I was gutted about Quicksilver dying. And Vision was amazing! Like, as soon as he was "born" it's like one of those "holy fucking shit" moments.

Adding in War Machine (YES!), Falcon briefly, and so many other supporting characters, was just amazing to see all these guys interacting in one movie. I pray to God that Infinity War has everyone in in. Everyone. Honestly don't think there has ever, ever been such a star-stacked movie. Seriously the amount of big names in this franchise, and hell in this movie alone, is surely an unheard of feat.

The humour I thought, was spot on, as before. I lot of people criticized the banter between the team. I thought it was great! I loved the repeated knocks on Cap "And by gosh mind your language!"... great stuff.

Loved the fight scene at the end. The stakes certainly seemed higher with the idea that this was "another chapter", you kinda felt like something could possibly happen that'll open the doors for future storylines. As with the first movie, the only thing that kinda irks me is that the bulk of the action was still the Avengers taking on an army, and not one individual. I hope they're saving this for Thanos. Having everyone team up and getting their asses kicked by one ultimate enemy, as opposed to fighting his army while the team go up against him one-on-one.

Overall I loved it though. The two+ hours flew by. I think I enjoyed the first more, but that's simply because, like I said above, the appeal of seeing all of the heroes team up in one movie has been done now, so it's kinda a completely different mindset when watching this film. Fantastic movie though. Well done Marvel. :y:

[Rammsteinmad]

Also, totally agree with Iginfest, that some of the best scenes was simply the team interacting socially. The scene with Thors hammer from the trailer was great. The crack about the "lift being worthy" etc.

[Shadow]

Well technically with Ultron they were fighting him....cause he was every drone out there.

[Rammsteinmad]

:fu:

[Lock Jaw]

The more I think and reflect upon this movie, the more I like it. I don't know... I'm thinking that maybe seeing it in 3D lead me to not liking it initially as much as I could have....

[Frank Drebin]

Did you not have a choice when it came to seeing it in 3D?

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah... it was only playing twice the entire day in 2D... rest was in 3D, and I decided to go "earlier" than the 2D ones were playing....

[McLegend]

If I choice between 3D and 2D I always choose 3D... Just because.

I agree with The Loop. I think Age Of Ultron is my 3rd or 4th favorite. Age of Ultron reminds me of Star Trek Into Darkness. It's not as good or as fun as it predesscor, but it's much needed and worthy addition to the franchise.

Also WTF is wrong with people like Shadow or are critizing for Joss Whedon in such weird ways. People are disappointed that he's actually directing the biggest movies of all time instead of cult thing. God forbid someone moves forward with their career.

[Destor]

I dont understand the hate. I feel like the bar might have been too high. Fabulous flick.

I never said I hate him for it I just feel like the movie could've been better. But I also understand there's like another movie that was left on the cutting room floor.

[loopydate]

Some of Joss' recent interviews make me really interested to see "his" cut. Especially if he could have had his wish and included Spidey and Carol in the New Avengers.

[Frank Drebin]

I wonder how much actual footage was cut.

[loopydate]

He says his first version was about 3:15, but who know how much of that was "finished," and how much still had place-holder effects and whatever.

[Lock Jaw]

Some of Joss' recent interviews make me really interested to see "his" cut. Especially if he could have had his wish and included Spidey and Carol in the New Avengers.

Was already too crowded in there.... no thanks...

[loopydate]

Would have just been cameos. When Cap was introducing Nat to the new team, they would have just been there with Falcon, Rhodey, Vision, and Wanda.

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder why Falcon wasn't at the big action scene at the end.... Fury brought War Machine, should have brought Falcon too. Would have made more "sense" that he would be there at the end with the New Avengers too.

[McLegend]

I never said I hate him for it I just feel like the movie could've been better. But I also understand there's like another movie that was left on the cutting room floor.

Maybe you didn't, but a lot of people do take weird shots at him.

I'm about to do some research on this so I don't know anything about it. I will know more in about an hour.

But what is the Black Widow problem that caused Joss Whedon to leave twitter?

Maybe his part also got cut?

People grossly misinterpreting the movie to apply anti-feminist undertones. Certainly not an adjective anyone who is actually paying attention would ever use to describe Joss Whedon.

Apparently wanting kids "diminishes" Black Widow somehow. Because women should only be cool and calm at all times if they're assassins.

[McLegend]

Yeah and she didn't define herself in the movie as being a monster because she can't have kids. Which seems to be a lot of peoples complaint.

Her lack of being of being able to be a mother was never stated or even implied for her being a "monster"I thought it was pretty clear it was because of her past deeds which was hinted at when she was "hexed."

However no Black Widow merchandise and no Black widow movie are solid points.

[loopydate]

None of that is Joss' fault, though. That's on Disney.

[McLegend]

That is true, which I why I think a majority of the people were just trolling... Like anything else on the internet.

Now there never been a successful female led superhero movie. I'm not saying that it can't happen it just hasn't yet. That also begs another question...

Were those female led superhero movies bad because they were female led? Or were they just bad? Chances are they were just bad.

[road doggy dogg]

Good movie. Felt they tried too many jokes. Idk. Hide the zucchini line was hilarious

I haven't watched all marvel movies so can someone explain to me why Natalie Portman and gwynneth Paltrow weren't in this? ScarJo is super babe and had some bangin looking tittehs in a couple scenes but I love babes. Also that Witch chick looks like my buddy's gf who has a cat named Taco

[McLegend]

It's probably practical reason such as money, not enough time to include them, and Natalie Portman is going to be in the next Thor movie.

Gwyneth Paltrow has said she isn't doing another movie, which I'm not sure if I totally believe.

I do think Stark and Pepper have broken up just by the way some things are stated in the movie. Could be wrong on that one though.

Can't help you with the mum and cat named Taco.

[McLegend]

You just RKO me outta nowhere with that edit.

[road doggy dogg]

Ya sorry mobile post. Hilarious typo though lol

Thx for reply

[Shadow]

Portman has never actually liked her role as Jane Foster and tends to keep her involvement in action movies like this as minimum as possible. Chances are with Paltrow they just didn't have anything for her even though her and RDJ work super well together.

Also Pepper was running a massive international company.

[Frank Drebin]

When is she going to get her PHD?

[Kalyx triaD]

Finally seen it.

I likes it a lot.

[Lock Jaw]

Small thing, but I wish when they were flashing back to Black Widow's past, they woulda done a shot of her getting handcuffed to the bed. Would have been a nice "nod" to Agent Carter and make it "more obvious" that it was the same thing.

[Rammsteinmad]

Any reason to see Scarlet Johannson handcuffed to a bed.

[Fignuts]

Jesus titties, this was awesome.

Like someone else said, I love that Ultron had personality, and wasn't just the typical cold, emotionless, "I MUST KILL ALL HUMANS" evil robot. Now I see why they went with a bit more of a human face, rather than his traditional static visage in the comics. His ability to add expressions to his comments definitely added to the character, and it was a really good call.

Quicksilver obviously wasn't as interesting a character as the x-men version, but to be fair, he was a hell of a lot closer to the comic version, which for this, was more important imo. And he still got some really slick moments.

Wanda and Vision were really cool, but I'm more excited to see them fleshed out in future movies.

Only complaint was that the pacing felt weird. The plot moves incredibly fast, at first. Like almost too fast. Then it slows to a crawl after the wakanda battle. Then it picks up again. Honestly though, that likely has everything to do with all the cut material. Hoping that for the dvd and bluray release that they can release an Extended Version.

[Fignuts]

Also one thing I haven't seen mentioned that really needs mentioning is just how well the fight scenes are put together. The way the Avengers work together, and combine their powers and techniques for all kinds of double team maneuvers and such. It was present in Avengers, but they really amped it up here, which makes sense since they've been fighting together for a while now tracking down the scepter.

I've just never seen that kind of thing done in a superhero movie as well as it's done here.

[Shadow]

I was kinda hoping to have at least one Ultron body with his classic look. Just one. Then for Ultron to switch to something else. Ahh well.

[Tom Guycott]

The only (admittedly nitpicky) complaint I have about this film is how quickly the idea of Ultron was introduced. What I mean is, Stark and Banner just have this seemingly rushed conversation about "hey, remember that one thing we worked on?" in the middle of a movie/tv continuity that likes planting seeds, hints, nods, and easter eggs... but this just comes out of thin air?

But, whatever. Still thoroughly enjoyed it. Twice.

This was my major complaint. It seemed a lot like it existed for the sake of existing and to fill a gap to build to other things. That's not bad but it's not what I've come to expect from the Marvel universe. Most of the groundwork in the last several movies have been Thanos/Infinity Gem stuff... which makes this movie just a filler, almost. That's pretty shitty.

Part of what made the first one so exceptional was that it was the climax of years of build-up. This one was just like "Hey. Here's Avengers 2!" I know there were bits, but compared to how much time has devoted to what will be the third and fourth one, it's almost negligible.

It was good, but most of their movies have been great or epic in no small part because of the continuity and all the movies weaving together. This is also the one thing that won't be really helped with cut footage being re-added. This is something they kind of dropped the ball on for years.

The double team moves were really great, but I felt like there were way more jump cuts and obvious CGI in a lot of the fights. I get that they're fighting a glowing robot, but, some of the scenes--like the Wakanda part--had a shit ton of jump cuts.

All in all, I wish for what might have been, but I'm still happy I saw it.

Twelve suplexes out of sixteen.

[Bad News Gertner]

Saw it in Imax 3D tonight because my gf wanted to go. Thought it was ok. Haven't seen the first one.

[Sixx]

Finally (well, the day after premiere here), thought it was amazing. Only complaint is the villian. Ultron sucks. James Spader made him better, but I still don't like Ultron. Fuck him.
