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

[Spiderdevil]

But why does that need to be explained? You were able to figure it out yourself obviously right? You just posted it haha. Not everything needs to be shown or explained, at least not for me I can piece things together myself.

Ofcourse we know, but seeing that the twins knew too would make their joining the avengers more natural

I saw it last night. I really enjoyed it, but it didn't live up to the hype I think the general consensus had built up for it. I was hoping Ultron would be one of the top CBM villains, and while I enjoyed him a lot he didn't quite reach the heights he could/should have. He never really felt as much of an urgent threat as Loki did, even when they went hiding at Hawkeye's farm house from him. Spader did a first rate job voicing him, and the humorous moments he had were terrific. But yeah when you consider this was a deadly sentient robot who had integrated himself everywhere in the world and could reform in another robot body any time, with an army of killer robots at his command, Loki, even when he was on his own without the Chitari felt more of a menacing threat in the first movie than Ultron did.

I think Thor and Cap came off the best in this from the team. Natasha's and Banner's little romance was totally out of left field and never really went anywhere. Hulk was not as cool in this as he was in the first movie, and I still don't get why he just went off in the jet at the end. Stark was good as usual but this was the least interesting he's been. I feel like we've already been over the whole angle of Stark creating weapons that are too dangerous for the world. Ultron was just a more deadly form of this issue, but same basic territory being covered.

Quicksilver was totally meh for me, and Johnson is not good at doing a Russian accent. I wasn't disappointed when he died. Scarlet Witch was better, and generally felt more deadly and integral to the plot than her brother. Her acting was better, too. Vision was perfectly portrayed by Bettany. No complaints there.

The action was fantastic. Loved all the cameos from Falcon, War Machine, and Stan Lee.

Overall very good movie, I'd give it a 7.5-8/10. I think it might warrant another watch, which I am doing anyway on Saturday. But it definitely didn't live up to the hype for me.

Banner agreed to stay with team is because after the battle of New York, he viewed Hulk as a force of good that maybe he can use to help people. But after he witnessed the horror and chaos that Hulk caused in Johannesburg, he has no more reason to stay.

Right maybe for you and others, but not for everyone. It's just personal preference. Not an absolute necessity.

Just got back from my second viewing. I noticed some more cool details that I missed the last time (like the infinity stone actually coming out of the Guardians-orb), but the movie is still overstuffed.

I really enjoyed the movie on the first viewing, but I am looking forward to go through it again as I'm sure there will be stuff that I missed.

I've seen it twice now and I'll post a full review later, but for the time being I thought I'd post some talking points.

-I really loved Ultron although I think some will be disappointed he's never shown as an indomitable threat. Spader absolutely killed the role, switching between menacing, anxious,enraged, petulant and coldly arrogant on a dime. His fondness for the twins makes for such a wonderful nuance and his last scene with Wanda, I found quite powerful.

-The final confrontation between Vision and Ultron is aces. The best villain death in the MCU by a wide margin. Bettany is great as Vision as well, he brings a wonderful other-worldliness to the character which really sells him as this different form of life.

-War Machine's cameo role was perfect. Brilliantly done.

-This is probably the purest adaptation of a big superhero comic book event put to film yet. It's so obvious that Whedon loves Marvel comic books as he has uncannily captured the spirit of reading one on the big screen. If you love Marvel comics, I really can't see how you wouldn't get a real thrill from this film.

-Johansson was really great in this. She seems so comfortable in the role, bringing a lot of nuance to the character. I thought the romance with Banner was well done and adds a lot to the film but, people who don't like the pairing, I doubt will be convinced.

-The opening raid on the Hydra base leading to the title screen is marvelous. It manages to do so much so elegantly and is just great fun. I know some will really hate that Von Strucker was mostly comic relief but I thought it worked.

 

[hoy-small-fry]

Agree that this is definitely a film that needs repeat viewings. There's a lot going on (probably too much), but it never gets to ASM2 chaotic levels. Plenty to discover I'd say

 

[king666]

This is definitely the most "comic book" comic book movie out there. The story itself, the way it's structured, etc. It's definitely not a mindblowing movie (like The Avengers, TWS or TDK) but it's pretty entertaining.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Yeah it really makes no sense why it's released overseas first. It's annoying. Where are you Hunter?

England, oddly we seem to be getting a lot the Marvel movies earlier than the US these days.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

It's mainly done to combat piracy, which is big in Asia and Europe, and help build buzz before it hits the US. As much as we Americans don't like it, its strictly a business decision to protect the film's potential overseas and domestic revenues.

 

[Darkraid]

Dude, there's a review thread.

 

[Kaleb]

Saw it earlier this evening,loved it My only complaint is I expected more from Ultron.Paul Bettany however is Vision.

 

[SuperBeetle]

I just got back, damn so much to process. They didn't lie when said it was the most comicbooky movie of all, I loved it. I went with someone who doesn't read comics and has the attention span of a goldfish, he had some troubles but I like that the movie needs you to pay attention.
Sadly my opinion about the death of Quicksilver is the same, I really liked him and I'm still sad/upset. Wanda was amazing, Vision was perfect and so beautiful. it made me so happy to see them get all this love.

 

[Kaleb]

Id say this is right up there with CA:WS

 

[mkilban2]

I posted a short summary in the spoilers thread, but I think I enjoyed this much more than thw first one.

 

[Sloopy_Diggums]

I thought it was amazing. They knocked it out of the park.

 

[ZenTheAvenger]

Saw it yesterday and it was absolutely amazing!

Very different to the first film but every bit as good! The Empire to A New Hope!


Yes it had a lot going on but I took it all in just fine and the character development was just awesome! The fight scenes were incredible particularly the Hulkbuster fight and the opening action scene.

Ultron was brilliant, ok so they made him less powerful in a single form but they played up his ability to multiply and manipulate networks which was class. They are quite clearly trying to keep other villains at a decent power level so that Thanos stands out in Infinity War!

The Vision was just insanely good!

Thought Cap was class in this too.

I enjoyed every moment and the only reason this won't get reviews like the first is because it doesn't have the novelty factor of the first film! That's it, this film is absolute class!

9/10

 

[Best]

Just got out.

Gotta say, a lot to take in, but I'll jump right in.

The first 20 minutes put me off if I were being honest. At least besides the opening, man that was INSANE. They really dove right in. But yeah, the scenes at Stark Tower... Eh. The dialogue made me cringe. Maria Hill and Cho were a tad unnecessary. Falcon's cameo was a highlight though. Took me back to TWS.

Skipping... probably a lot (like I said, still processing), things started shaping up at the docks, though the pacing went off a little at the same time. Loved Klaue. Andy Serkis was great. Wanda giving visions to the team was cool. Cap's was so sad, Widow's was really interesting. Have to agree with those saying Thor's was weird... Least interesting out of the three. Hate that they bothered to explore that later. The Hulk rampage was sudden, though the fight with Stark was engaging. Funnily enough I could follow it more than a lot of the other action scenes.

Them heading to the farm-- yeah, I sort of take back what I said before. Here is where I could totally follow. Have to say, the transition from their encounter with Ultron and the twins to the farm worked a lot better than I read. I could see that they were in shock, almost damaged. Made sense that they needed to lay low. Looked odd on paper, but I get it now. Meeting Clint's family was sweet. Seeing him with Laura provided great insight. Cute to see the kids getting along with Nat. Speaking of however, I felt she was very much OOC during her exchange with Bruce. Didn't like that at all. Would have loved if Cap and Tony's argument lasted longer, and not just to set up Civil War. It felt chopped actually.

Now if I remember correctly, the Korea sequence came next. The twins switching sides felt sudden as hell. Was expecting to see a bit more of their relationship with Ultron. Paired with him, it really just goes Ultron escaping Stark Tower and joining up with the two, them engaging the Avengers together and then the twins ditching him here. Oh well. As for the fight, This is where we see Cap back in TWS action. LOVED it. I like how they put him against Ultron but showed him getting his ass blasted fairly easy. No, Ultron did not look weak here.

Then back at Stark Tower with Vision... Great scene. Though disappointing in that, IMO, we got more insight into Vision in those few minutes than I had hoped for with the twins in the hour that already passed. Vision picking up Mjolnir was hilarious. Bunch of people behind me actually gasped.

Then, the Sokovia finale. Loved Clint fighting off the drones. So badass. Same with Cap, Thor and Quicksilver. Vision's one-on-ones with Ultron were fantastic. Forming that circle to protect the device... LORD. Then Thor, Iron Man and Vision beaming Ultron. So cool. SHIELD showing up was a very uplifting moment. But Pietro... Ah man. Like I said before, was hoping for a lot more from him (and Wanda), but doesn't meant I didn't enjoy his character. Performance, everything. They just needed more screen time. Shame. And again... Bunch of other stuff occurring to which I can't recall, so that concludes my finale memory. Lol.

The new Avengers base... Not sure how I feel about it. Don't like that it's practically set up as another SHIELD station. Not how it should be. They can't be one entity, takes away from both IMO.

Tony leaving was fine, wasn't much to compare [to IM3] for me. It was a subtle retirement. He could easily come back again and I won't be complaining. The new team was pretty exciting. Fun way to end the film.

Overall it was... Man, I don't want to say disappointing. Too strong of a word, and on top of the fact that it's still a good movie that left my wanting MORE (and more and more and more...). My main issue was the pacing. It's so weird though. All the scenes were fleshed out, but they still moved along too fast? If that makes any sense? Damn you Whedon for balance. Favourite characters? Probably Cap, Thor and Vision. Disappointed about Quicksilver. Like I said before, he just needed more screen time. No problem with him otherwise, but I know haters will be quick to dismiss him anyway. Wanda needed the same as well, though that's obviously what we'll get moving forward. Olsen was terrific.

I'd score 8/10. Again, it left me wanting so much more Marvel. Oddly enough it left a bigger impression than TWS and Guardians. I think it was pointed out in a previous page, but this being one of if not the most comic book-y CBMs probably had a hand in that.

I like the end credits where they showed clay models of all the Avengers and then finally you see a complete set of Greek clay models of the Avengers.

 

[kosh33]

I just saw the movie now.. thoroughly enjoyable.. great scenes.. perfect comic book movie.. great set ups for the future.. things happen very fast in this movie.. so it lends itself to multiple viewings.. also, a lot more serious and a lot less of humour compared to the first movie.. a 9.5/10 from me..
