Avengers: Age of Ultron (May 1st, 2015)

I assumed that Whedon was throwing in another Bible reference, like when God spoke to Moses through the burning bush: Moses asked who he was talking to and God says "I Am that I Am."

Or a Popeye reference.

Or a Popeye reference.

Why didn't I see it? Of course, Ultron is Bluto (sees red), Stark munches on burgers at press conferences. Too bad that due to those darn copyrights BvS has the rights to Olive Oil.

[Sundowner]

I always have a good laugh every time I visit this thread

 

[jye4ever]

He was, and none too happy about it either.

I bet JW whined more than him though.

 

[Khev]

I found myself liking the music a lot more the last time too. I like how Elfman incorporated bits of the original theme.

 

[jye4ever]

Wait, this movie had a soundtrack.

I did enjoy the music when they triple tag teamed Ultron though, great build up.

 

[Sundowner]

Wait, this movie had a soundtrack.

I don't remember the music at all

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, pretty hard to process anything, much less the music with all the crap going on in that movie.

 

[Khev]

DC fans are all, "music had no bongs. Fail."

Nail on head. This movie kind of blows you away with everything going on, for better or for worse. A lot of us who liked the overwhelming assault and went back for more have been finding that there was a real elegance to how so many moving parts were woven together.

Music isn't the MCU's strong suit, I haven't heard anything memorable so far. Except for the Avengers and TWS theme but even those aren't that good imo

In all seriousness I agree. Definitely nothing so far on the level of Williams' Superman score or Elfman's Batman.

 

[jye4ever]

I love TIH theme, IM theme, Cap theme, Avengers theme.

True, not Raiders, Star Wars, Batman 89, STM level.

But what the hell is!

That's an interesting perspective. I'm not sure I share it (that there was an "elegance" to the way the film was put together--feels more to me like they were shoving in as much as they could, and it is so full with stuff that it nearly bursts open), but I can appreciate where you're coming from. My favorite musical form is probably jazz, and one reason I love it so much is that, if you're listening to one of the greats, you can find new ideas and emotions coming out of the music almost every time you listen to it, both by specific musicians, and across the groups that play together. I am sure that I will find new things to enjoy about the movie when I watch it next on Netflix or whatever.

True, not Raiders, Star Wars. . .level.

But what the hell is!

I'll let Khev field this one (hint: it's Winter Soldier!)!

Just the music? I don't remember much of anything...and I saw it like 12 days ago For a movie with so much action, although entertaining, most of it is easily forgettable,imo. Hope Mad Max is more memorable

 

[jye4ever]

I also love Jazz.

DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Kidding, I love it.

So what you're saying is that Star Wars, Raiders, Batman 89 and STM should've had Jazz soundtracks then.

I totally forgot about the 3 of them tag teaming Ultron, Vision picking up the hammer, the Hulkbuster battle, the piece of earth being lifted to create a meteor, Cap's shield throws and motorcycle jump in a forest taking out 3 guys hiding behind trees, the hellicarrier saving the day, the party hammer scene, Visions talk with Ultron.

Such a forgettable movie isn't it.
