Someone gave me Age of Ultron as a gift, while I'm thankful, how is the CGI in the first act so bad?

Movie is trash. Whedon walking away from marvel is a goddamn blessing. I hope they dont have him doing anymore script touch ups either to fill them with more corny dialogue.

Both avengers flicks are borderline terrible films because of his directing and writing.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
I'm a marvel Stan but AOU was all over the place.

And for some reason other than captain America, they don't know how to make a proper sequel. Movies don't be bad, but they could be a lot better. Maybe it's the pressure. Maybe they try to top the last movie so much that they lose sight on what made the first one dope in the first place.

It's Mavel/Disney playing it too safe. Early on they could more easily get away with rehashing the same formula because they were setting things up, but it has started to run its course and unless they change it up, their upcoming solo movies are going to suffer greatly.

And I don't remember the CGI in AoU being off outside of that sense of weightlessness in the opening scene. Not sure if that's what @saysumthinfunnymike is getting at, but that was noticeable (characters and objects feeling like they're not occupying a real space). Kinda weird too because the effects were off in the opening scene of the first Avengers movie as well. :patrice:

I'm thinking that's what civil was is about. Super heroes can't show up when they feel like it. Plus with the inhumans in agents of shield there are a lot of super heroes.

All I remember is how stupid the opening was. Like you needed the whole team to raid that base? Thor could've done that on his own.

It's because they play safe and because their sequels normally are a bridge to something else in their larger story and that hamstrings the movie.

The only horrible CGI was when one of the Iron Legion grabbed the staff. Looked like stop-motion animation

Marvel's like a cheap, annoying cook.


All the resources & ingredients to make the most delicious meals


But they keep adding too much water to the spaghetti sauce.


Still hits the spot a lil bit, from time to time


But not bursting with flavor like it could be.

Hated the opening when I saw it in theaters. Had no weight to it....as in nothing felt like it should've.

I just hope Civil War is as godly as I hope, while Ant Man 2 and GOTG2 aren't trash :mjcry:

The taste of Iron man 2 and 3 and Thor 2 seem so long ago...
