The AVENGERS 2 - Age of Ultron (May 2015)

[Dragonyeuw]

It was good. Maybe as good or better than the first.

But there wasn't a wow factor as much.

There wouldn't be. The coming together of all the heroes, putting asides their differences for the common good, is a feeling you'll only experience once watching it play out on screen. That said, I was slightly underwhelmed by this one coming off the last direct Avenger tie-in, Winter Soldier.

There could possibly be, and there may be in the third movie, if a lot of new characters show up and they build toward something else.

I think Thanos being in 3 will be a huge deal because he's the big baddie we've been seeing and waiting for.

[SugarHill]

What makes the first one so good? This one is better in every imaginable way. I thought the first was overrated tho

[zoom17]

There going to nerf thanos in the next movie even though he can handle all of the avengers easily.

They have to nerf these guys so it doesn't look too goofy.

Some characters have to be nerfed when transferring to the screen. If Thor was portrayed on screen like his comic counterpart, you wouldnt even need the other Avengers( well besides Hulk).

Winter Solider > Avengers 2 > Avengers

That's how I feel anyway. Going to see it again this afternoon.

[Shade8780]

For me...

Winter Soldier > Guardians of the Galaxy > Avengers 2 >= Avengers > Iron Man

Winter Soldier and GotG are pretty interchangeable for me. GotG is the first movie I can remember that I've seen twice in the cinema.

[Dragonyeuw]

I'd agree Winter Soldier is definitely the best in the series. Kudos to Marvel for making the character relevant to modern audiences. Personally I don't get the infatuation with GOTG, but hey opinions and all that.

Captain America has become my favourite Avenger definitely. Despite what other people say, I thought The First Avenger was awesome and still do. Good villains, nice throwback to WWII, fun story and some pretty decent action. In fact, it just missed my top 5. I'd probably rank it #6. Winter Soldier is even better.

The relationship between Cap and Peggy was really well-done too, and made the ending all the more unfortunate. Loved the scene with grandma Peggy in Winter Soldier, and it seems like her TV show is doing pretty well.

Hawkeye die or nah?
Someone else does but not him.

[secund2nun]

I know nearly every critic and person loves these Disney marvel movies, but I honestly hate most of the marvel movies since Disney took over aside from both Thor movies and the first Captain America movie. I thought Avengers 1, Guardians, and Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3 were absolute trash and the second Captain America movie was average. Haven't seen the second Avengers yet and probably won't until it comes out on torrents just like I did for Guardians and Iron Man 3....I am not expecting much at all and won't give the people's messiah savior Joss Whedon my money anymore. These movies are lame and corny...poorly written as well.

One theory I have is that everyone absolutely loves them because it combines all of their favorite super heroes into one movie. When the Justice League movies come out and if the movies suck yet everyone loves them then it will confirm the theory.

[BlakFrankWhite]

very dissapointing

Ultron got beaten up by everyone!...dont think he won a single battle in the entire movie..

no plot twists...no nothing..

4/10

[Shade8780]

Saw this last night. I brought my gf knowing that she hadn't seen the first movie or any other MCU movie for that matter. I imagined that she would have enjoyed it even without seeing the other movies because a movie like Avengers, directed towards all audiences would have something for everyone. She ended up loving it and now she wants to see the first Avengers. I guess there is a reason they add in so many corny one liners and fan service.
Pics? Don't leave me with my dick in my hand.

[jimmybball]

Finally having a new villain whose plan doesn't simply rely on having an army made this movie better than the first.

Sounds good. Should I add some candy?

[Shade8780]

Sure. Why not?

[Noah Rose]

Got a $1 off box of candy coupon at AMC for my 2nd viewing.

[raiderfan19]

This is a better movie than the first one. Its not quite the experience the first one is though specifically because its not the first one. That said it was damn good. Not sure how I feel about the unexpected thing for vision.

100% agree.

I enjoyed it as well, strong film. I can't decide which Avengers film I liked more just yet. I'll have to see it again before I make that decision. Some of the things I felt they did really good with were of course the twins, they got a huge role which was awesome. And also I like what they did with Hawkeye and his family, it really gave weight to few of the other scenes near the end of the movie.

I still don't know how I feel about Ultron though. He was cool, but he didn't seem powerful nor did he have a powerful aura around him. He was the title character but he didn't come off as threatening besides his first appearance. I'd like to see a villain try to take the down the avengers without using the whole "the only way to beat them is to make them beat each other" thing.

That was my feeling watching this as well. At no point did I have any doubt that the Avengers wouldn't overcome him( of course they would, they're the good guys afterall lol) but Ultron just didn't seem all that threatening to me.

[Graviton]

Idk how this was better than the 1st. The villain sucked, there were no memorable set pieces or actual large scale battles. Just them beating on shitty robots and saving civilians more than actually fighting Ultron. There wasn't much dialogue for him either, just one liner>fight the robots>one liner>fight the robots.

Loki in the original at least got some real development and traveled around. In this the whole movie basically took place in 2 locations, jumping back and forth from New York to Eastern Europe mostly.

I liked the scenes with Hawkeye, but other than that was extremely disappointed. How could it be 2 and a half hours long and still feel so rushed. :confusedshrug:

[jimmybball]

After credit scene spoiler below



The people in my theater cheered during the after credit scene. And I feel like it was a collective cheer of "this guy looks like an actual threat. He's gonna be a total badass."

Wasn't it before the credits?

Same reaction in mine, I would imagine for the same reason.

[jimmybball]

How did Linda Cardellini age so much so fast? She looks 15 years older than Seth Rogan, James Franco, and the rest of the Freaks and Geeks cast.

[SexSymbol]

Alright, so I finally got to see it in theaters, before that just had to watch a shitty camrip. Got to go to a 3d screening too, so that enhanced the experience quite a bit.
Watching the second time, knowing the story, and how bad it really is it made me focus on other things more. For once, Mark Ruffalo was terrible in this movie, he's a good actor in pretty much everything else, but he was just mumbling words as bruce, and that was kinda bad, but it didn't ruin the movie or something.
What I got from my second viewing is that this is a top 3 funniest movie I've ever seen. I mean, everybody's cracking jokes, from iron patriot, to the "menacing" Ultron himself. And even though that is VERY enjoyable, because the jokes are really good (my favorite is when thor explains the hammer to vision, just amazing), it takes away all of suspense for the movie. It's alright for heroes to say one liners, but it made Ultron have a very weak presence.
The romance between hulk and widow just didn't work.
The whole movie was very rushed, but because of the humor and action it picks up it's rating. The 3d experience helps this rating, so don't judge, I rate it 6,5/10

[BigBoss]

I was bored watching this movie. This felt like a Terminator movie. Tony Stark made Skynet. Ultron was a Terminator. People vs Machines. Nukes and the impending apocalypse. Random a$$ Hulk/Black Widow romance. Explosions. The end.

6/10.

The Batman V Superman trailer doesn't seem so shitty anymore

[BigBoss]

This is all I could think about the whole time they had the "black widow/hulk romance"

:roll: :roll: :roll:

The Hulk represented her "surrogate" baby though hence the lullaby.

[Swaggin916]

Loved it. Loki was a more entertaining villain and I missed Hiddleston... but I loved Ultron. Robot/Android stuff never gets old because we all know it's coming in reality it's just a matter of when. Thought it was as good as the first and it has something for everyone. Even the romance and family stuff was well done and not too forced. No complaints here.

[Le Shaqtus]

Loved it, got no complaints.

[bdreason]

Movie was okay. I think Marvel is starting to hit a point of over-exposure, at least for me.

Yeah. I don't see how audiences won't get tired after Infinity War is done plus the actors will be old. I think superhero movies will slow down by 2020. It's the golden age but all things must come to an end.

thats when they buy the licenses out for Dragonball, bleach, and naruto and do to those what they've done to DC and Marvel.

it would take action and super powers to a whole new level :pimp:

Loki was awesome,but I'd call it a tie at worst. Spader's Ultron was awesome. They should have given him a few more moments to rant though.

[Draz]

I don't even know every characters name unless I grew up on them. Probably going to wait for this to come out on Blu-ray

Alternate concept arts of Ultron. These four looked better than what he was in the movie.

Really liked it. I think it was better than the first one. There are a couple of bumps in the road tho. The action scenes kicked ass, more so than the second one. Joss Whedon is a master at balancing out the characters. I was concerned that it would've been an issue introducing 4 new characters in the movie, but it worked out well. But liked it overall. Spoilers below in white

Widow and Hulk kind'a came out of nowhere. I don't really have a problem with them getting together, but a little build up would been nice. I thought they were going for Cap and Widow getting together in Cap 2. Hawkeye having a family! I dunno if I like it or not. But all things considered, it was well done with the time that they have.

Wish they would've spent more time developing Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and the Vision. Quicksilver dying felt like a waste. If they had develop him a little more than it would've awesome. But at the same time, I guess it depends on how you develop him. I felt more for the Quicksilver in Days of Future past than I did with this one, not that this one was horrible tho.

The Vision introduction was awesome! Too bad it happened at the near end of the movie tho!! Wished he would've got more time. I feel like he's going to get killed off in the next movie.

Ultron was great. Love James Spader as Ultron. Great voice. Surprised about the sense of humor. I just felt he needed a bit more time to develop. It would've been nice see him and help the Avengers at first and then turn on him after he realizes that humans need to die. But Joss Whedon did a good job at balancing it all. He does a good job balancing all of these characters out. He's like the master of it.

The biggest disappointment I have is that Cap and IM made up by the end of the movie. What's up with that? I expect it to lead to the Civil War, and this movie would've been a great based for that. Of all the future events that they set up for this movie like Avengers 3, Thor next movie, showing wakanda, I feel like IM and Cap clashing should've been number 1 priority. They shouldn't have left the movie on a good note.

Anyway, I feel like this movie with a director's cut would be better. It's still good as it as, and I liked it better than the first one.

Extended cut's supposedly going to be on the AoU DVD/Blu-ray as well as an alternate ending. Can't wait. Hopefully it's the full three hour movie Whedon wanted. 30-40 extra minutes would be awesome.

[hateraid]

Hulk vs Hulkbuster suit was the best comic book movie fight I've ever seen! Amazing

Avengers Age of Ultron Review

[oh the horror]

What was the point of the romance between the Black Widow and Bruce Banner? They just had to squeeze that shit in there huh?



Also I must have missed it. What was the pool Thor dived into?

[chazzy]

That part felt so rushed. You could tell a bunch of scenes were cut

[oh the horror]

That part felt so rushed. You could tell a bunch of scenes were cut



Yeah it was def crammed in there. I felt like much of the meat and potatoes of the actual plot was cut so they could shoe horn in the romance between Bruce and Natasha.



I mean Christ at least elaborate on the pool of water that gave Thor insight into what was going on.

[Jailblazers7]

I felt like that really ****ed Ultron from being a good villain. I agree that the one-liners were overkill for his character but they didn't even make him very powerful. He had 1 real fight where he caught the Avengers off-guard at an after party and went 1v1 with Iron Man and Cap (and couldn't beat either). Then he got his army together which got totally shredded. Doing that makes sense for Loki because he is a schemer but to do it with Ultron was lame.

Scarlet Witch was the main catalyst for the movie because the meat of the movie was about the psychological issues of each Avenger. Also, does Magneto not exist in this universe because Marvel doesn't own the rights to X-Men? That really sucks because it would have been cool to tie Magneto into these movies starting with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.

Pretty much. And because of that, they essentially act like Scarlet and Quicksilver were the first mutants, or "miracles" as they had to initially call them.

I agree marvel makes some good movies but if there's one thing that needs improvement it's to make better villains and make them seem more menacing. Ultron didn't seem anywhere close to his comic book self.

He seemed cooler and more menacing in the trailers.

[embersyc]

Marvel can't call them Mutants, or say Magneto is their father in the movies.

Apparently they went so far as in the comics to retconn their history and it turns out Magneto is not really their father, and they are not mutants.
