    I think that I'm at my breaking point with this stupid MCU crap, not even the great Jimmy Spader can get me through this utterly mundane film that I could not give a fuck about - which I still have 30min of, but really don't think anything going to happen to make me do a complete 180 on my opinion. It's surprising to me that out of the many MCU films that I've sat and watch - the only one I haven't seen is Iron Man - I'm still not invested into anything that goes on in these movies - like fucking Christ I don't even know how that is possible. Maybe if I read the comic books 50x and jack off to each one then maybe I'd finally be able to give a fuck. Just, whatever.

      Editing … It is incredible how the MCU movie are able to be so absolutely devoid of any feeling. I don't know how they do it, it's like Whedon as a writer goes "How can I apply """""witty""""" banter XD" and then he just fills the rest with fighting. God.

      Editing … Yea it really is just 1) shitty, stupid joke 2) somewhat competent, yet utterly boring action cgi fest 3) repeat until everyone who is watching is dead inside. Also don't forget the absolute lake of a compelling villain, they haven been rather lackluster so far. As for finishing & giving a score it I wrote this just min before I had to go to work. So when I came home from work I was like "hell yeah gonna watch me some youtube or TNG" and then I see a browser open, click on the browser to see this. Like I'm really upset right now. But if I were to give a score it would be probably a 5. Because deep down I know that I've seen worse movies and this no way feels like a 4 or lower on how I rate things. But who knows, maybe the ending is one big shit show.

      Editing … Honest to God, this one was even worse than the last one. This one was a bit more competent than Avengers 1, but Jesus Christ how utterly boring. I've already seen this fifteen times in the last five years. Thanks a fucking bunch MCU, this is what I needed in my life. The best thing? I had to watch all these movie because I am a film critic in my local newspaper. I didn't even want to see them. At least they provided for good ideas in my film related column where I could trash the MCU.

      Editing … Well I finished and I think I'm going to bump it down to a 4. The ending was not only incredibly anti-climatic, the "sympathetic" moments felt almost Adam Sandler level of "I cannot be fucking bothered to try". Incredibly lackluster. Also didn't bother to watch the stupid end credit crap - I never do because fuck that shit - so I guess that means I will not know what is going on in the next stupid installment - oh well.

      Editing … With a talent for repartee like that I can see why you feel you're in a position to criticise Joss Whedon for a lack of wit. All the same though: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yAz4VmFC9LI/Vj39qNX1X_I/AAAAAAAAi9E/y_KPrtMkqsM/w500-h250/IMG_0268.GIF

      Editing … Didn't realize that my nonsensical, rather childish & silly, response would be taken so seriously. Still think the banter is bad. Just because I didn't care to be super serious/respectful when I originally made that claim shouldn't take away from what I was getting at - i.e that the banter isn't good/enjoyable. So to clear the air a bit here are some straightforward reasons why I think that. 1) It feels incredibly forced for comedic effect. And more times then naught it falls flat on its face trying to do it. 2) Because I feel that it's force, I also feel it to be incredibly cringe worthy to watch in motion. What is being said doesn't in any way feel natural at all. 3) I found that most of the time the banter was incredibly juvenile as it clearly was aiming for a demographic that I'm clearly not in. Now I would give some examples but tbh it has been roughly three weeks since I've seen this film and have since purged it from my memory. But you've provided some images that has sparked my memory so I'll use that. Okay so that whole running joke was bad and not remotely funny to me. It felt forced for comedic effect, it was cringe worthy, and felt incredibly juvenile to me. Didn't enjoy it one bit and found it to be rather nonsensical in the grand scheme of things. Didn't provide much character building and/or bonding I just couldn't see the point of it being there other then for a cheep laugh. And that's really all I have to say about that.

    I've enjoyed all the other Marvel movies to some degree, but I just wasn't feeling it with this one. It was kind of lame, and at times I was distracted by how off the effects were. I mean, they weren't bad, but I expect a bit more from a Hollywood movie with this budget. It calls back to the rubbery Agent Smiths of whichever Matrix sequel.
    The movie wasn't all that bad, as negative as I may sound. I just expected a lot more.

    Don't really feel like I can give this a review or score since my seats were so crappy I could barely see. But... I fell asleep twice. Last time that happened to me in a movie theater was one of the LotR movies

      Editing … The last film I fell asleep in the middle of was Sin City but it was 4am so I reckon I get a free pass on that one. You two confuse me, I liked Avengers 2 but it doesn't hold a candle to any of the LotR films.

      Editing … It's hard for me to think of my experience with this movie as anything other than "fell asleep twice and was on the verge of sensory overload most of the time I was awake." Sitting at such a severe angle to the big screen, straining the full 2+ hours to see, with super fast-paced action sequences and explosions and lasers, it can be really disorienting/overwhelming to someone with sensory problems. I'd also had a long day, and obviously this isn't the film's fault (hence why I'm not reviewing or scoring it). But also, I think I'd enjoy the superhero genre more if I saw films about superheroes with actual powers instead of a cast that's basically "Smart Guy, Patriot Guy, Arrow Guy, Angry Guy, Lightning Guy, and Badly-Written Female Character." (to be fair, Thor and The Hulk are closer to having actual "superpowers" and I'm partial to both of them) At least Scarlet Witch was there to mix things up too. I just think something like X-Men would be more my speed since the powers are more extravagant and there are actual deeper themes instead of "summer blockbuster action movie." I only went to see this one because it was a friend's birthday and I didn't want to end up being the reason my bf didn't go because I knew he really wanted to see it.

    I'm going to have to join the club with Ben Ace and Ulty in that I think this movie is better than the original because of how personal it gets and it has better written dialog. The timing of everything feels slicker. I feel as if the relationships between the characters can be explored more (don't even get me started on the bromance between Captain America and Iron Man).

    I'm with Ulty in that I think this movie was better than the first! I think I'm in the minority in that I felt that the first one had some good laughs but the action was overblown and Loki and those alien dudes were pretty lackluster villains. The chemistry between the superheroes in the first film was great but the film as a whole was a bit of a let down and it did not live up to its praise. Ultron is a more interesting villain in my opinion and this film did a much better job juggling the different characters while still maintaining the wit and charm that the series is known for. Still, the film is not without its flaws as the action is still as over-the-top and numbing as ever and I felt that Ultron should have been explored more as he seemed to have a lot of potential that was not fully realized in the end product.

    I actually liked this movie more than the first one!

    For one the comic relief is toned down, which is good. I love watching our favorite comic book heroes throwing jokes and one-liners, but the first Avengers just went way too far with it. To the point where I stopped feeling any kind of tension during the action sequences, if the characters aren't gonna take this seriously why should I?

    I felt way more immersed and invested into this one. Instead of the generic save-world-from-bad-guy plot, Age of Ultron actually introduced some conflict between characters which I really loved because it showed some weaknesses of the team, which led to some great character interaction and development.

    The action was awesome, not as well shot as in the first one but the investment and emotion was better. I didn't get Ultron though, he wasn't nearly as strong as the story made him out to be. But hey at least the character itself is more interesting than Loki.

    Overall, awesome film!

      Editing … I actually thought there was way more comic relief in this one and that Ultron was way less interesting than Loki. Ultron was well acted and he was written well enough but his story is basically the AI gone mad trope and I've seen better versions of that cliche.

      Editing … As good as the dialogue and the spectacle were I didn't buy into the AI gone mad for a few reasons #1) I don't get why Ultron was needed in the first place or why Stark gets accused of hubris for creating AI when this isn't even the first AI Stark's created. Jarvis has been in four films #2) Stark and Bruce created the AI using Loki's sceptre from the first film and then wandered off to have a party while it was waking up. Really? #3) Ultron didn't really go mad so much as he was immediately mad, it felt rushed.

    It's a summer blockbuster kind of film rather than anything heavy or deep but I'd guess that's what just about everyone was expecting and it's fine by me. I don't like it as much as the first Avengers - it struggles to juggle all the characters a little more, there's a bit of a lull in the middle and Ultron's not the MCU's best villain - and I probably prefer Winter Soldier and GotG as well but there's still some really fun spectacle, some nice writing and a fair few laughs so it's well worth seeing.
