Age of Ultron Avengers: Age of Ultron Fan Review Thread (Spoilers)

Yep, and after just watching it again, yeah, the blue gem that surrounded the mind stone is mainly what made up Ultron, and mindstone and Jarvie are mainly what makes up Vision

I'm glad that Whedon finally showed us (when Tony has no Jarvis) that it is Tony who directly controlls his suit by using his brainwaves that can be read or scanned by suit...It's great that it is him who controls the suit...It also shows us that JARVIS (or Friday) is just a sidekick to him who does less important things in the suit or simply make company for Tony and suit is not controlled through some A.I. but directly from tony....

Agree with you in every way!

Saw it w/ the fam Sunday and thought it was awesome. Seeing these characters on-screen together is still awe-inspiring. For the first time I genuinely liked Hawkeye and as soon as we're showed his family my wife kept thinking he was going to die. There was definite tension w/ his scenes from that point. Spader did an awesome job as Ultron and gave the character life. TWS made me a Cap fan for sure and this just propelled him further. His characterization his who Superman should be, not brooding or emo.

The only thing that didn't work for me was BW/Hulk. wth was that? Why? Nothing in A1 suggested her flirting was any different than when she flirted w/ Tony in IM2 and she had way more of connection w/ Steve in TWS. I guess that's what her character is reduced to which is kinda sad.

 

[Dark Raven]

I wish Ultron built something like a Hulkbuster Ultron bot for Hulk to fight at the end. Hulk needs a good solo fight against an actual villain instead of just other heroes or cannon fodder.

 

[Loki882]

I'll give them a pass on that one since the Hulk vs. Hulkbuster fight was EPIC!!

Because this is a different situation. Seriously, I keep hearing about her being "reduced" and sorry guys, I'm just not seeing it. Someone explain that to me? Nothing in A1 CONTRADICTS what happens here either.

She's the only female character on the team and she feels the need to flirt w/ all of them. If that doesn't seem weird to you I'd really be wasting energy trying to explain it.

Nothing in A1 CONTRADICTS what happens here either.

Except that we don't see any exchange between the 2 at the end of the movie. Heck, how many people spoke of the bromance between Tony and Bruce as they drove off together. lol, they both have more scenes interacting from A1 and IM3 than Natasha and Bruce. And like I said she's waay more open and vulnerable in TWS. It seemed more natural in that movie. Here we're forced to believe these 2 have feelings and then it's shoved down our throats w/ Steve and Mrs. Barton's lines.

What's cueing you guys to believe there was a specific "Ultron" program in the scepter? It really seemed to me that the difference between Vision and Ultron were the protocols it was mated with: Ultron had the Ultron protocols while Vision had Jarvis' protocols. Each of them were jumpstarted through the mind stone. I didn't pick up anything in the film the implied Thanos had a hand in this. Jarvis' direct quote describing the stone was:

The jewel appears to be a protective housing for something inside. Something powerful... like a computer. I believe I’m deciphering code.

To me, that reads that the exterior was simply a casing, and the true power to grant sentience or control minds lives in the mind stone. Did I miss anything implying Thanos' involvement?

When they first showed the big blue "AI brain" next to Jarvis they said it was a program and it was thinking, the notes here is that the "blue" is what's referenced several times, and the color used to show the new AI. Later, Ultron and Dr Cho say they tapped into the gem (the exterior casing) but never looked inside to something greater (the mind stone).

If the writers of Man of Steel weren't so dumb and put just one or two scenes of Superman acknowledging the damage that had been done and the lives lost I doubt that movie would have received so much criticism. He didn't even have to have any dialogue or anything. His expression could have told the whole story. Just one look of concern or remorse as he surveyed the damage that had been done and all would have been forgiven. We're talking about a 20 second scene here. But nope they couldn't even get that right. For a movie trying to be oh so serious I don't know how you screw that up. Talk lack of consequences. The aftermath of all that destruction in MOS? Supes knocks down a drone, talks some trash, gets called hot by some idiotic military chick and it's all good, cue the credits.

Not talking directly at you here, but I just want to say this is the worst criticism of a film I have ever seen and I see it all of the time. To each his own I guess.

So Superman looking down with 1 tear like the Crying Indian would have fixed everything about it. Of course he was upset lives were lost. There doesn't have to be that dialogue.

Anyways I liked AOU!

 

[C. Lee]

Hmmmm....you're not talking to him, but you quoted his post and say that it is the worst criticism you have ever seen.....yeah, not referring to him at all. **insert eyerolling here**

I think he's trying to say that he is not the only person he is frustrated at

Once Thanos does get all the stones, and puts them into the gauntlet, what happens? What are the capabilities of the infinity gauntlet?

 

[Pokkle]

She's the only female character on the team and she feels the need to flirt w/ all of them. If that doesn't seem weird to you I'd really be wasting energy trying to explain it.

I'm pretty sure Wanda is a woman and she is on the team.
I don't remember flirting between her and Thor.

 

[PunyGod]

Well in the comics he killed half the population of the universe by snapping his fingers. He is basically as powerful as God.

 

[VenomsMom]

Feels like I just watched I Robot. Those Starkbots saying WE ARE HERE TO HELP was ripped from that movie. And how does Ultron who is covered with Vibranium so easily destroyed? And Quicksilver wasn't to quick if he got shot 10 times. Should of been bobbin and weaving. The action was good and I liked the Hulk fight. They should of explained that water scene with Thor better than they did. Im watching him take a bath and then he gets Nightmares. I give this film a 7.

 

[ImOctavius]

I loved it! I loved the three new heroes. I loved Hawkeye. I loved Ultron (I dislike his design). I loved every action scene. I loved the score.

The development was a little rushed, not as good as "Marvel's The Avengers".

It was so smart what Whedon did with Vision. The fact he could lift Thor's hammer was brilliant.

The death of Quicksilver was shocking. Nobody expected it

I like the new line-up. But I should say I really really want to see the nine heroes together again.

Wanda, I love you

Could be completely different in the MCU Punygod. Don't forget Feige said that the Gauntlet in AoU is NOT the one in Odin's vault.

(I still need to see if one's a lefty and the other righty)

Imagine how many there will be in Infinity War!

So,I have just returned from watching it. I enjoyed it,but it seems to me a film that needs another watch or 2 to really appreciate it. It felt fairly disjointed. Something about it just felt off and I can't really put my finger on it.

A really enjoyed Ultron, but it didn't really feel like we spent enough time with him. He should've been a personal villain for the Avengers,but he never got a chance to deliver that gut punch (a la Loki killing Coulson.) to the team.

The threat (early in the film) didn't really feel great enough to justify them going into hiding. The Hawkeye being married subplot honestly did nothing for me. Good for Renner getting some decent screen time here,but I still would've preferred him with Widow.

I didn't really care for the Banner/Widow romance. They kicked Betty Ross to the curb with nary a word about her. And it just felt to me like they thought "Widow needs a fella after all these films. We ain't doing anything with Hulk now. How about Banner?"

I was somewhat disappointed in the Hulk this film. (Well,with the exception of the Hulkbuster fight) We got no Hulk-out scenes (well,we got a Hulk in scene for once) which are half the fun of the Hulk-the 'Unleash the Beast' moment. And Hulk is still portrayed as a mute byproduct of Banner and given no character of his own. At this point it's getting a little ridiculous.

Cap spent the whole last act sans helmet.

Much of Thor's subplot was lost on me,not being a dyed in the wool Thor reader.But I'm guessing it'll payoff in his next solo film.

The twins were pretty good. I probably liked Quicksilver better than the Witch. His death was handled well,but it's kind of a cop out.It's tough to write such a powerful character,so it's easier to just write him out.

Vision was pretty cool.It felt a little wonky having him join the team in that manner,but no complaints.

I probably sound like I hated the film.LOL But I enjoyed the action,the humor and Ultron's morbid philosophy. I kinda feel there was more there that could've been pulled out and brought to the forefront. But I liked what we got. 4.5 out of 5
