Avengers: Age of Ultron Review

[teeray]

I don't agree. I'm glad those characters are getting their due. I also think having somebody like Cumberbatch is going to inject yet another swath of people into the viewerbase. Limiting their parts to just cameos and such limits the time we have to know and grow and care for them as characters, and could also even eat into time spent on the storylines in the movies on which they are cameoing in.

People had the same concerns about "iron man" and "Thor" and "The Avengers" and "GOTG" when they were all released and they have all turned out to be great moves that have helped build an excellent interconnected universe.

Cumberbatch is perfect casting for Dr Strange in my opinion. And it could be a pretty good movie

But really no one gives a poo about Ant-Man. I'm only going to watch it for continuity leading up to Civil War and Infinity War

But one of the reasons Loki was a good villain is because we got his backstory in Thor and got to develop the character.

One of the reasons Ultron fell a little flat is because it was rushed. Ultron worked for a while in the comics, but then later made the calculation that the only was to truly maintain his directive of peace was to destroy all the humans and super heroes. It was a fleshed out progression that led to that conclusion for Ultron.

I feel like Thanos needs to have his story told leading up to the Infinity Gauntlet. Maybe they do that as a main antagonist on one of the movies coming out between now and 2019.

Or perhaps that will be part 1 of "Infinity Wars"

Either way they need to establish Thanos and put the character, his motivations, his power, and the power he eventually obtains with the Infinity stones into proper perspective to make the Infinity War (Gauntlet) as massive and perilous as it was in the comics. In the comics Thanos bested all of the Elders of the Universe and the In-Betweener to capture all 6 Infinity stones, proving his power even before he got all 6 stones

Thanos' Quest would make a pretty badass movie IMO (they would have to adjust the story for continuity of the movie MCU, but still)

But to each their own. It is not like I'm not still going to watch all of them

To me it was a huge let down of a movie, ill explain later why i thought it was im at work currently. But yea i just had higher hopes for the movie.

Key for me enjoying summer movies, especially sequels, I Stay away from the hype. I know almost nothing about the movie other than the 1 or 2 trailers I have seen.

[Jangler]

Oh and thanks for the spoiler alert ABC and MAoS.

not.

I kinda wish instead of getting Ant-Man and Dr. Strange movies we got a standalone Thanos Movie that showed him actually gaining possession of the 6 Infinity stones.

Like Thanos' Quest in the comics where he had to trick or defeat 6 powerful and/or intelligent beings to gain possession of the 6 stones.

I feel like that would help establish Thanos and show his power and intelligence and show what the universe is really up against in the Infinity Wars, as well as better define the powers of each individual infinity stone.

I feel like Dr Strange and Ant-Man could have easily been introduced through other Marvel films and they don't need their own movies.

I am pretty excited about Black Panther movie though. He is a badass

 

 

 

Yes he is. Black Panther might be my most anticipated movie for phase 3 outside of the Infinity Wars.

Yeah that was probably the only part for me that I didn't like was how much I knew going in. Cap 3 info is starting to trickle out on the web and I'm staying as far away as possible this time. I don't want to know anything at all. I already feel like I know too much,

[Jangler]

I watched everything there was to watch about MIB,(BI, before internet) and by the time I saw the movie was I was really disappointed. Not so much now but I hated the movie then.

[Jangler]

Well that was a filler episode....I thought they only did those on TV

[Lemory]

Saw it last night. Loved it.

It was a great 'super hero movie'.. it was not a great movie.. exciting, fun and too much story to pack into 1 reel of film.. 3 hours of film at that.. like all the other Marvel movies, it exists just to set up the next 2 movies coming down the pipe.. but it was good fun for sure
