I know it's not an A-list movie at all (I knew literally none of the characters in it), my point was that I've heard people fellating its proverbial genitals all over the shop, and while yeah it's good I don't think it's amazing or anything.

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 :)

Here's a brief but interesting article about the rise of the MCU and its role in pretty much saving Marvel's bacon in financial terms.

The key name seems to be Avi Arad, the director of Marvel Studios and the man who seems to have forced Marvel to develop MCU against the judgement of the rest of the board. He seems to have been the man who came up with the ideas that made the MCU commercially viable in terms of licensing and production. Given the troubles of the major studios, I have no doubt that Universal, Paramount and Fox will be sniffing around if he even hints that he wants to move on from Marvel.

Avi Arad moved away from Marvel Studios years ago. Last films he produced was Iron Man and Incredible Hulk.

What he's been working on the last years are such masterpieces as Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and the Spider-Man reboot.

So, I watched Age of Ultron yesterday. It was spectacular, but it had way too many characters and plot arcs to handle for just a little over two hours. The movie was so chock full of stuff that I find it hard to decide how much I actually liked it. This could actually have benefited from being a two part movie, I think. A lot of things felt rushed.

One thing I can say for sure, is that it was never going to live up the ridiculous hype I had built up for myself  :-D

I still think Winter Soldier is the best movie of Phase 2, but Age of Ultron definitively was a spectacular event movie. There's so much action and visuals that it almost felt tiring at points. Another reason this could have been a two part movie, giving it some more time to breathe. Props for giving Hawkeye some more spotlight tho. Also a pretty genre savvy movie, which is always great!

Just came back from watching Age of Ultron and, honestly, I think that I was watching a different movie from all the reviewers that I've read so far. Maybe it's because I'm not an expert in the motion picture arts medium. Maybe I don't know what officially makes a good story but I liked it!

A nice balance between characterisation and action. The plan was always clear and the path was obvious. The surprises were nicely paced and I felt that the introduction of the new characters was done well.

One thing though - It isn't a stand-alone. Since the end of The Avengers, you need to have seen or at least be aware of the plot of the Phase 2 movies to understand what is going on. I suppose remembering when the Infinity Stones came around for the first time in the comics helps. I know exactly what those things are and what the stakes are here. I know exactly who Thanos is and what he wants. I suppose that it makes it easier for me to understand that broader thread and Age of Ultron's place in the development of this overall story.

Next up is CA3 - Civil War. I wonder if that will be where Chris Evans checks out of the MCU? He has said that he wants to focus on directing rather than acting.

Regarding Thor and the Infinity Stones:

Remember that Thor is an alien. Although the Asgard present themselves as gods on occasion, they are actually an ancient race space-travelling immortals. It's just that they use the Bifrost (space bridge) and other Clarketech pseudo-magic to get around rather than space-ships.

I was kind pissed that they didn't really have an end credit scene like all the other MCU movies, it was more of a 1/4-way-through-the-credits scene and thus felt like part of the main movie.

Yeah, there's only the obligatory mid-credit scene hinting about future events, no funny small post-credit scene.

I was surprised, I can't remember any other MCU film that didn't do the post credits scene but whatever.

I kind of feel like that is indicative of a somewhat lazier approach to this film. I enjoyed it (I've seen it twice and I'll probably go again) but I don't think it had the same spirit as the first one/earlier films. I think Whedon kind of phoned it in this time around and I'm half hoping he won't be involved in future films.

Martin Freeman Joins Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War"!

Man, I really like Martin Freeman. Hope they don't waste the guy on some boring government guy, or something like that, that they need for the Civil War plot.

Fingers crossed that it's a recurring character, and that he shows up in Doctor Strange!

Like I said, that one cool scene was enough to make him the better of the two, despite, you know, not being used at all for anything else. Kind of annoying, really, "hey, look how useful this guy is, if it weren't for him, Magneto and Xavier would be fucking dead (and Wolverine would be quite uncomfortable before getting up and killing everyone, but still). Let's send him home because if he were helping later, we'd win way too easily and quickly."

Marvel Studios Begins Production on Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War"

Quote
“Captain America: Civil War” picks up where “Avengers: Age of Ultron” left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

Any speculation on who the villain will be? I haven't read the comics, so I don't really know to what extent any famous villains take part in the Civil War arc.. I read that there's this Nitro guy that's supposedly involved? Do you think they'll involve a villain to unite the opposing sides, or will the main conflic be between Rogers and Stark, and their respective followings? (And as a result possibly end on a sour note?!)

Haven't caught up on the second half of season 2 of SHIELD, so I don't know what they're doing with HYDRA, but given the events at the start of Age of Ultron, I assume HYDRA's part in the MCU is at it's end.

Rumor has it (at least I don't think it's been confirmed yet) that Daniel Brühl will be playing Baron Zemo and we know that Crossbones will show up too. Frankly, given the cast breadth it almost feels like this one is mis-titled as a Captain America. The only Avengers not there are Thor and Hulk (although we get "Thunderbolt" Ross back so maybe a Red Hulk cameo?) and if they stay anywhere near the comic storyline it will completely change the dynamics of the franchise.

In other good news: Agent Carter renewed for a second season!

I wonder if that should be in a spoiler space!  :wink:

Seriously, though, Chris Evans has said that he wants to get out of acting and concentrate on directing. This may be the point where he bows out as an actor. IIRC, in the comics, Bucky (The Winter Soldier) takes over as Captain America at Nick Fury's suggestion after Steve's assassination and I wonder if they're setting up for that.

FWIW, I can see Robert Downey Jr being able to play Tony's reaction to Steve's assassination wonderfully. The fact that it would arguably be partially his fault would make it all the more dramatic and his subsequent dedication of his life to the Good Fight all the more heartfelt.
