Ditto. DoFP had, you know, scenes with Quicksilver in it. AoU clearly treated him as nothing more than a throwaway character, especially since he spent half the final battle huffing and puffing.

But the point was that he didn't want to dodge the bullets. He wanted to take them so that Hawkeye could get hurt.
I think it's safe to not use spoilers... anyone sensible would be smart enough not to look here if they want to avoid them. |

You know what? I can't wait for How Avengers: Age of Ultron Should Have Ended. I'm sure it'll address some of the things were talking about. |

Yeah, good point. Quicksilver should have been able to do something better than be a goober and take the hit.
I feel like they just wanted to kill/get rid of for the sake of it. In that case they should have killed Black Widow, or sent Hulk to space in that quinjet. |

I thought both versions of Quicksilver were pretty meh. The Fox version probably annoyed me more with the whole stoner schtick.
I'm not surprised Marvel killed him off in their universe. They probably didn't want the confusion that comes from two different versions plus his death could be used as story development for a superior character, Scarlet Witch. |

I really liked it. I think I might like it better than the 1st. Absolutely loved Hawkeye in this. His "secret family" was a nice touch, and I'd almost wanna see them in a movie. The line, "You know I completely approve of your Avenging..." was the trigger, I'd love to see this family in their own movie. I'll admit the villain might have been the weak point. Spader's Ultron was too jokey for an evil AI.

I just got back from seeing it. It was great, easily a 9/10. The biggest nitpick 'd have to say bothered me was Ultron's personality at times. The trailers made him come across as being pretty dark and menacing. He came across being a bit too jokey sometimes, but other than that he was great.
Vision was spectacular, I loved his comic accurate look. Quicksilver's death hit me right in the feels.

Wow, I just came back from seeing it with my family and I just have to say...
This movie was absolutely amazing, and this is coming from someone who usually hates Marvel movies. Easily a 10/10 for me. I literally had zero problems with it, so much better than the Avengers. Last edited by Xiewin; 05-08-2015 at 11:30 AM. |

I was really surprised by how much I like this movie. Then again, I did go into it with the only hope and expectation that it was better than Iron Man 2. not exactly the highest of bars, but it did really well. I've been trying to stay away from breakdowns, takedowns, and anything else that might harsh my squee, but there are a couple of things that I'm left wondering.
The biggest of which is I think this movie goes pretty seamlessly from Winter Soldier, and Thor 2, but there's kind of a big jump from Iron Man 3 to this one. at the end of the day I have the privilege not really being invested in the Avengers. I was always more of an x-men girl, so I don't really have a whole lot in the way of opinions regarding characterization, motivation, or how they've been changed in the MCU. I will say I'm a little sad that Barton isn't Fraction's Barton, but in other ways I'm glad he's not because then there is absolutely no chance of him being done poorly on screen. in fact the best successor of that run on Hawkeye is the new daredevil TV show. Which I also quite like. though the mental image of Barton asleep on his couch with a newspaper over his face during the entirety of Winter Soldier still makes me smile.

I thought James Spader was the highlight of the movie, and I liked the Godzilla twins but overall, Age of Ultron did not leave much of a lasting impression on me.
It felt a little rushed, like there wasn't much in the way of a visual style, and the action scenes were borderline confusing at times. Plus the Hulk, who looked amazing in the first movie, looked a bit dodgy in this one.

Saw the movie last night and it was simply amazing. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. Could have certainly done without The Hulk and Black Widow romance, which felt way too forced but my biggest gripe is definitely Ultron. Giving a robot a face to emote was already ludicrous but also giving him a goofy personality completely defeats the purpose of a cold A.I. Other than that, I really enjoyed Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch but my most favorite newcomer is definitely The Vision. Looking forward to seeing more of him in the future.
Oh. and did they completely ignore the ending of Iron Man 3? Why is Tony still Iron Man without any sort of explanation? Am I missing something or did I misinterpret the ending of IM3?

I give it a few months before some of you come to your senses and realize it isn't all that good, you're just way too high on the Marvel hype wagon to think clear yet. I see so many people point out the flaws like the lack of any real substance or the forced romance or Ultron being pure ham, yet still can't help but give the thing "10/10" like they're afraid of committing to their critiques.

Yeah, but given the whole theme of him being more than just the suit and then destroying all of his armors, one would think he's just claiming to be Iron Man even without the armor. Why destroy everything just to start again? Makes no sense...

Well I gave the movie a 10/10, but not because I'm on a "marvel hype train," it was because I thought it was one of the best movies I've seen this year. I came to the theater with the same expectations I had with any other Marvel film, but this one was the only one I really enjoyed thoroughly.
If you ever seen any of my previous comments, with the exception of this one, you'll know that I hated every single film Marvel Entertainment has ever made. To me, they were all cliche, boring and bland on so many levels. But there something about this one that really stuck out to me, It was pretty much different than Marvel's usual style of how they create their films. So yeah It's not because I'm a super duper fan of marvel, cause I'm not, I'm more of a DC fan. I just thought it was a well-made film. Last edited by Xiewin; 05-14-2015 at 03:39 PM. |

I think it's all swept under the rug. Marvel has been kinda retconning stuff from Iron Man 3 since it came out.

People praise the sh*t out of these movies when they're not even that good. I was told Guardians of the Galaxy was a great movie. All I saw was a semi-decent space comedy. |
