WELCOME TO THE MARVEL MULTIVERSE -*RIP STAN LEE & Boseman* - XMEN97 release 3/20

Though quicksilver suppose to be fast I didn't get how he still got hit
He shoulda been able to dodge
The twins were a good fit for the film
 
They probably doing Vision/Scarlet Witch

First thing that crossed my mind when Vision scooped and flew her after the battle

Right? Dude thats faster than a speeding bullet gets killed by bullets :x

This was after a scene were he knocks out ultrons with his super speed :smh:

An absolute waste. One of my fave characters too. His presence wouldve balanced out Cap's team. At the end they had a Navy Seal, A retired war veteran, an ex KGB spy, and a war veteran on the same team.

Falcon should have been up in the sky with War Machine battling the Ultron bots

Also I think they should have shown QS being aware of Hawkeye having a wife and kids, would have made his sacrifice hit a lil bit more

Yah they f'd up, they could just as easily say the Gauntlet in the vault doesn't exists since it probably isn't even visible unless you freeze the milli-second of that scene. Plus that Gauntlet had the gems already. Should just keep it an easter egg that isn't relevant and hope they just do not address it in the films.

Yea they could've just dismissed it as an Easter egg like they did Cap's shield in IM2.

Did you guys get the trailer for that movie "Southpaw" starring Jake Gyllynhal (sp)? Never even heard about it but it seems interesting
 
LOVED the film overall, but I did feel a smidge of something "missing" and I think what that was was the mystique of the first one, being in fact, the first one.

It felt, like the sequel that it was, even tho it was the "better" film, that feeling never left me.

Love the writing/wit/humor. You can tell the cast itself is really close, and they play off each other perfectly with their dialogue. The timing, the jokes all throughout, just made the film that much more fun.

Some of the imagery they had. :wow:

The action, CGI, is all top notch, no doubt, but it is starting to wear on me. The San Andreas trailer played before the film. Building falling apart, skyscrapers collapsing, oceanliners crashing thru cities, mass destruction. The first Avengers, battle of New York, same thing. Captain America Winter Soldier, in Washington, same thing. I get it. Cities tear apart. Millions of lives extinguished, instantly, and they tell Language jokes. :\ That's that darkness this series misses on. The Nolan trilogy had it, the desperation, the neverending fear, always on edge.
Despite how bad *** Ultron was, I was never for a second worried. They made it too easy. And for a second, I had hope. The vision they gave Stark, with everyone dead. :wow: :wow: :wow: That should have been soooooo much more. They should have played that up, BIG TIME. They should have gone with Stark truly, TRULY darkened from that vision. Change the tone completely, to show true desperation. They basically went to a house, licked some wounds, chopped some wood, and went back at it. |I

I get it, the Avengers IS the lighter, fluffier, friendlier, more visual comic series. And they succeed at that. But to have a truly GREAT, ELITE film, you have to have the villain, the tone, the darkness that **** is really ****** up. And they can't get that by tellin jokes for 2 hours. And because of that, they will always be behind the others. To me, Winter Soldier still is the best film of the Marvel verse, to this point, and that film did have it's humor moments. But the threat was SEVERE. And the Soldier himself was a SAVAGE with it. Ultron was just a dime a dozen over and over and over til Vision turned off his router.

Even Loki seemed to be a bigger threat than what Ultron ultimately turned out to be. With all those robots, it was just 10 minutes two different times of all the Avengers Hulk Smashing them. Couple cuts, a bullet wound, meh. 950 robots broken tho.

Individually, they all did really well. They didn't over focus Stark, that was good. Cap was great, Thor was very good, I didn't need all the Natasha/Banner stuff, but I can overlook that. Come to think of it tho, why? Why was that there? There was no inkling of that coming in any of the other films, shows, etc, why suddenly have it? That should have been muted. Hawkeye of course really stepped up this go 'round. The "I have a bow and arrow" quip was perfectly placed, and a great move for him. Quicksilver was a lot of fun, I was a little put off by the accents tho. Witch tho........ man. :frown: I did not expect that. C'mere baby girl. Girl was lookin GOOD in that final clip, well, the whole movie, but especially that last scene.

Solid move havin time for Maria Hill, Falcon, War Machine, and Fury. Didn't overdo it, but let them have a moment of shine here and there to balance everything else out.

When Vision picked up Thor's hammer :wow:

Liked the introduction of Vision, they pulled it off well enough, even if we're all taking a leap of faith with the hologram brains merging and not merging, etc.

Hulk v Hulkbuster was outstanding. :pimp:

The mind bends that witch put on each Avenger, those are needed more and more. I really think they missed an opportunity there, but then again, this all just leads up to Civil War, and I expect to see some of the stuff I've mentioned in those films, especially with Joss stepping aside.

I loved the film, make no mistake, it's way up there in the Marvel universe, somewhere in the 2-3 range, but it's not immediately number 1. Time might help that however, with more viewings and more things discovered. I did enjoy the Black Panther references, and the shield, Klaw, etc.

Solid 7.7-7.8/8. Not a perfect film, but still really enjoyable, true to the comic book feel and roots, but didn't have the serious tone I needed for true greatness. Look forward to another viewing sometime soon tho. I do appreciate how hard it is to get all these actors/actresses on the screen at once, and each have enough time to make their marks. By the way, the 2:20 view time, a breeze. I was stunned when the film was over, didn't feel like 2:20 AT ALL. Really great pace.
 
I think with the Russos directing the next "movie" it will be a bit darker. I kinda like the lighter fluffier style because it separates them from DC. Also dark doesn't work for everyone.

The Russos' will also have better action. I'm getting a bit tired of the heavy cgi. They need to mix it up with practical and cgi. That's a small part of what made Cap2 great.
 
Caught a bit of the leak before I watch it this weekend, and man, we've gotten to a point where we've taken the sheer scale and detail of movies like this for granted. Smh at the "eh" reviews.
 
So are the new avengers the new sheild?

We all know that when the BIG bads show up the A team will come back (iron man, thor, ect..)

these new guys are just the warmup squad

Been reading comics since I was 10. I just like the fact the characters that I followed are on the big screen. I don't nitpick. Really appreciate how Marvel is doing this.

Cap 2 actually had a pretty high VFX count

As far as the mcu goes, when it comes to VFX count, it's A2>Cap 2>A1

Yes. A1 is number 3.

*edit

Sorry, 4.

It goes A2>GotG>Cap 2>A1
