AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Thread 7.0 (Dragonlord's Review)

Yep. Even peek-a-boo (mixed race not latina, I think) should have troubles, as she can't perceive time at a slower pace and can only teleport to where she can see.

When I watch Flash, I just turn that part of my brain off and enjoy the show. If they made it realistic, it would be boring as fook.

It's hard for me to do that. I'd much rather that more of his antagonists were just more viable threats.... like the Supergirl series, where all of her antagonists basically have her powers.

Who in the DC universe could be viable threats? I know there are some, but not too many.

Also, they had to use the Rogues and if they didn't the Flash fans would be pissed. The real issue is that the people who created his classic villains. Having him battle other speedsters every week would get boring too.

Watch the Honest Trailer for AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON


[YT]GeDJAKvcZ9o[/YT]
 
The Hulk/Black Widow romance was pure shit. I thought why the fuck did they put that lame shit in the movie? Super hero movie! Scarlet isn't even good looking. I think these movie execs think they can do no wrong.

If the tesseract is one of the Infinity Gems, why is it so gigantic? How's it going to fit on the Infinity Gauntlet?

Is Quicksilver dead? No bulletproof vest? They could have given Scarlet Witch a sexier cleavage outfit. Vision didn't look like crap, so good. What's going to happen to Vision after Thanos plucks the gem off and puts it on the gauntlet?
 
I thought the movie sucked, the villain never felt like a true threat. but maybe I'm just burned out on superhero movies.
 
The dialogue and story kinda sucked. It's like they're getting big heads.

The Honest Trailer was kinda honest, especially with the comparisons.

The gem is in the box, they showed that in GOTG.

Some funny stuff

Part a large Marvel musical series
 
This movie did not life up to it for me.

Sort of same feeling as Transformers

First movie was AMAZING ... second movie couldn't live up to it. Although it didn't fail like TSF2 but it still wasn't as good as the first. Still a decent time but nothing rememberable or story changing and a disappointly weak villian. Age of Ultron? More like minor annoyance week of Ultron./
 
I wasn't a big fan the first film so this one was pretty meh. I did like Paul Bettany's character though, the couple of scenes he had were really cool.
 
Turned it off after 10 minutes. Cinematography had a B movie feel with its dull lighting and the special effects was bad.
 
Pfffft!!! Get outta here with saying the movie had a B movie feel to it. I understand that it's not marvel's most popular movie but B movie it was not.

Maybe it was the TV the movie was watched on :p

Cinematography had that grey dull look, reminded me of Sensei Seagal's straight to vid classics.

Rumor: INFINITY WAR Will Have $1 Billion Production Budget

Avengers-Infinity-War-Logo-100815-Dragonlord.jpg


The combine production budget for Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2 is reportedly one billion dollars, according to Bleeding Cool. "And of that, the above the line costs, that paid to the screenwriter, director, producers and principal actors will be a cool four hundred million dollars alone," the site reports. "And of the actor budget, Robert Downey Jr gets half."

They also claim that Avengers: Infinity War doesn't have a script or a plot at this very moment. If that is true, then any report on the production budget is merely a guesstimate. You can't figure out a production budget without a script. Simple as that.

The films are being directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Civil War) and being written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

The production budget on Avengers: Age of Ultron was about $280 million, so it seems reasonable to believe the production budget on Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2, being shot back-to-back for nine months in 2016, would be around $600 million, maybe $700 million. If you had to push it maybe you get to $800 million. But, $1 billion?! That's a lot of clams!


Avengers: Infinity War 1 and 2 Rumored To Have One Billion Dollar Production Budget
 
I finally got a chance to see this. I'd give it a 3.8/10. Thoughts:
  • The 3D sucked. I've watched a bunch of 3D films at home and this was the first one to ever give me a headache. After an hour I couldn't take it any more and had to pop in the 2D version instead. The post converting was just plain bad.
  • Ultron was boring and ineffectual. He builds shitloads of these disposable tin-cans for the good-guys to tear apart instead of the big dudes with beam and gravity/distortion/whatever powers. We know he can make more than one, because he does. But he doesn't make more than one at a time despite how effective they are shown to be (and how ineffective the other versions are). He also never seems to make proper use of his machine nature with distributed intelligence and multilateral strategy. The fact they were able to eliminate him at all, given how tech dependent everything is today, is head-scratching.
  • I like James Spader, but he just did not feel right for this role at all.
  • The new characters were poorly handled. The twin's accents sucked and Vision's introduction was so late in the film that I really couldn't care.
  • The pacing was poor. We'd get extended action sequences (with no weight, and no stakes) followed by tons of exposition and ham-fisted character drama.
  • The movie devolves into "rescue porn". An inordinate amount of time is spent depicting faceless extras being saved. While it's certainly nice to see heroes saving people it also felt really artificial. There are so many times where something would blow up and nobody would seem to be hurt. A train derails...and then travels in a nice straight line down the middle of a street instead of doing an accordion or smashing through buildings. Hulk gets pile drived through a huge skyscraper...that is conveniently under construction with no workers there and it collapses straight down into it's footprint. A huge chunk of earth in the middle of a city in the middle of the mountains gets levitated into the air...but when it is destroyed all the parts conveniently rain down over the ocean despite there being no coast in any of the establishing shots.

I cannot imagine how RDJ can be viewed as being worth way more than the other actors. Could they save money by making a 100% CGI recasting of the Tony Stark character?

Whoever wrote Age of Ultron dialog shouldn't be working on anymore Marvel films. Same for whoever came up with the Hulk/Black Widow romance idea. Cringe worthy.
 
Splitting a movie into 2 seems so cliche.
I want to see one story split into 3 movies. Now that would be some avant garde shit right der.
