Unfortunately I was kinda disappointed. The first movie had its flaws but, overall, it was thoroughly enjoyable. This movie had its high points, but, overall, it was kinda flawed. The intro wasn't all that good. The pacing was off, the use of tension was ineffective, the dialogue and acting both uninspired, the score was a little meh, the action was frequently kinda boring, etc etc. Ultron was, to my surprise, not a compelling villain, although it was a little funny seeing a robot version of Reddington. The Vision was all right, I guess. I liked the twins, on the whole. Character development and showcasing was a bit hit and miss, but Renner as Barton did the best job of it
the budding romance between Romanoff and Banner had a lot of potential but they didn't really manage to do it justice. I have other specific complaints but I think I should stop before I ruin what little enjoyment I did get out of the movie. All in all, I'm glad I saw it but I'm also unusually glad I didn't have to pay full price. I didn't feel like the big screen added much to the experience.
Oh yeah, the Ant Man trailer made me less enthusiastic about that movie, while the Terminator trailer made me more enthusiastic. The post credits button was... well, it was a little shite.
That being said, I had to revise my opinion of Daredevil summat so that's good! The costume is crap but the episodes leading up to the end were really good and even D'Onofrio redeemed himself with his telling of the tale of the good samaritan
