fwiw the consensus of reviews for this are still on the positive side

If I had to give it a thumbs up or thumbs down I'd probably go with a thumbs up. I can appreciate a mindless summer action flick.

But if you are looking for a movie as good as avengers or winter soldier, this ain't it.

It is better than iron man 3 though. (not saying much)

Don't worry, Igo doesn't really read comics so it still has a chance. No one is going to kill my buzz for this movie.

I've never read a single comic.

I've seen all the movies though.

I looked forward this avengers 2 for a couple years now and was left.... Meh.

Yeah and I think what you addressed in the OP is a reason Whedon is bowing out. In interviews I read he seemed burned out with having to juggle so many characters in one film.

 

The Russos are going to have a hell of a job with even more superheros in the Infinity Wars pt 1 and 2.

I've always found Thor a strange choice for a super hero. He's a major figure in Norse religion. To me it's kind of like making a comic book super hero out of Jesus Christ, that walks on water, has a healing factor, can multiply food and turn water into wine.

Wouldn't it be kind of sweet if they made a super hero that could kill bad guys by turning all of the water in their bodies to wine?

It's very good wine.

I've seen it too. Jeremy is pretty much right. As a comic fan I had a lot of issues with it as well. 

 

 

It really does just feel like a filler summer action movie. It's not nearly as fun as the first Avengers was. Yeah there's jokes and stuff in this one but a lot of them just don't work. The worst one is probably Iron Man saying that Hulk was playing "hide the zucchini" with Black Widow. That poo just made me roll my eyes. There's really no characters that stand out in this one either. Where in the first pretty much everyone had moments to shine in this one everyone just seems blah. All of the new characters they introduced fell flat also. Ultron was nothing like he was in the trailers. He was cracking jokes and one liners instead of being menacing. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are pretty much pointless in the movie. Vision just isn't very interesting at all. I also really hate how they pretty much ignore the other phase 2 movies. 

 

 

It is some cool stuff though. The Hulk vs. Iron Man fight is a really neat spectacle. The final battle with the Avengers vs. the robot army is pretty cool too. That's all standard stuff by these days standards though. No different that any gigantic CGI filled action movie. I'm sure it'll make a bazillion dollars and the fanboys will eat it up. After this one I'm glad we're getting a new directors though.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
