The Avengers 2 -- Age of Ultron

fwiw I was speaking generally of the genre, not about this movie specifically (which I haven't seen)

xp

I was only mildly disappointed with Ultron's voice because I'd always imagined him to sound more like a Dalek. He looks like a screamer. But Spader performed commendably.

I dunno, I enjoy these movies as live-action "What-If?" setpieces featuring characters I only peripherally followed in the comics until the first Iron Man movie came out; I'm not looking at them for much more than "how many quips, beatdowns and explosions can we get over the next couple of hours and are the staged/delivered well enough to make easily-entertained me smile"; it's a remarkably low hurdle to clear tbh but I feel like demanding that movies entertain me rather than putting myself in a mood to enjoy what they have to offer and then enjoying them is easier and makes me happier.

i want to watch this again

i enjoyed this enough though it definitely cemented a sense of superhero movie fatigue. thought the gulf in quality between this and the first avengers movie is wildly overstated though obv the first one had the novelty of omg a teamup and omg they got hulk right etc. thought spader was great, as an offspring of stark it made sense he would be this asshole who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. plus, yknow, less than zero.

Dr casinos overstuffed post otm except about Hawkeye, who is the soul of this movie.

Ultron was a vg villain imo, equal parts hal, skynet and evil stark, pity that whedon couldn't keep that going rather than turn him into a fighty robot but otherwise this was as good as it was going to be

no comments on this in more than a year? guessing people are not too geared up for a 2-part sequel then.

oh I'm geared up

not looking forward to the part where Cap eats it though

the movie isn't out for another year what is there to talk about

It's four MCU movies away, gotta hyperventilate in the correct order.

yeah exactly. so much more MCU to go
