I'm slightly trolling. The avengers films were entertaining but nothing mind blowing or incredible and ultron was a cash grab let down. Really it's just a symptom of me getting tired of all these by the numbers super hero films where there is no tension whatsoever because the main characters are gods or demi-gods who always find a way to overcome whatever minor threat to all the ants living on earth. I truly believe no one will be talking about these films in a decade like they will still be talking about the dark knight

Exactly. Nolan is still father to these nikkaz until someone better comes along.

I feel you and I'd probably feel the same way if these were straight up "origin" like super hero movies with no comic history or atleast in the comic history some of the stuff that folks want to take place actually took place.

Like I know more people when they say "tension" they wanna see more deaths and of that more of the major characters.

But I ask why? I think its stupid in this example to go that route when youre trynna build a universe and trynna establish certain dynamics.

Maybe its not me.... I'm not gonna say I'm a diehard marvel or dc stan.... but I do enjoy these SH films more than say.... the garbage shyt that are winning Oscars..... just boring to me and I want to be entertained.

As god awful as some of the Transformers are.... if you'd put the choice for me to watch that over say Room/Spotlight (2 Academy Nominated films). I'm watching Transformers with the quickness

Not even necessarily do I want to see deaths of major characters but I want to feel like it's a possibility that it could happen. This is what I thought days of future past accomplished so well. I really felt like the X-Men could fail in their attempt to change the past and that they could all die from the sentinels. They were down to one final room they were hiding in and their last hope was to change the past. I had the exact same lack of tension problem with The Martian.

If there was a compromise that can be done... than I would be cool with that.

The compromise being that say "yes they do kill" say a Thor.

But if they can introduce the beings in the cinematic world that exist in the comics that will bring them back to life down the line..... and fanboys dont moan and groan over it... then I would be cool with that.

Hell, I still hate how in A2 they fell to the pressures of the narrative that "there must be a sacrificial lamb and someone HAS to die" and killed Quick.

Cats been living for 50 plus years in the comics and some still alive and for no reason we killing cats off in 1-2 hrs

I guess I basically as best as possible want to see the comics in they true from on screen verse a remixed version "just because fanboys who act like they not fanboys" want something different for the sake of it

Nolan had the right "take" on super hero films to make them work as legitimate films. Whedon had the comedy, characters and action on point but nothing else that makes it work as a real film

+rep for having impeccable taste in comic book films

He agreed is father to that style.... but its not sustainable for the long run or big picture. Thats a "smart dumb nicca" move.

I respect his art and work... but it was selfish in the grand scheme of things

I'll give you this...I mean they are popcorn flicks that don't quite deliver when it comes to movie villains or enticing story lines.

Dark Knight was cinematic excellence that just so happened to be a comic book film. The movie would have been classic if it was completely different or unknown protagonist and antagonist. It was just that well put together.

I can't stand Star Wars, and it's a series in the same vein as Avengers, but Darth Vader is probably thee most memorable villain of all time.

If Thanos gets the Ultron treatment, I will be highly upset.

i did enjoy it more on the 2nd watch

Can you elaborate on the SW avengers comparison?

Whoever was the marketing department working on age of ultron deserve big bonuses. The trailers and marketing were perfect

Just Epic popcorn action flicks. Explosions, fighting, a little love story thrown in, and a story that builds across multiple movies.

They're not the same, but they're going after the same demo...

Of course they won't, or not as much, but when did that became a bad thing? Nobody is going to be talking about Jurassic World and Furious Seven either (outside of Walker's death maybe), so what? That doesn't mean those movies aren't enjoyable. And your argument about tension free movies where the main characters overcome all odds like they're John Cena literally sums up 90% of the blockbusters out there. How the fukk am I supposed to be the snob around here when I need to start defending silly blockbusters against asinine logic like this?

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Aside for trying to make aileron into this goofy, kid friendly bullshyt I actually agree.

It was a great movie.

When Vision picked up the hammer

Give it like a B+ compared to other Marvel films. Will be forgettable only when the Phase 2 films start churning out
