And..........? You like or not so much? I loved it but still ranked it #3 for the year behind Ex Machina and Fury Road.
I liked it, 'twas alright. My dubbed version was more fun though to be honest.
Age of Ultron seemed pretty by the numbers. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it. I thought that running joke gag with Cap and the "language" was really lame and should have died after the first scene. If I were a kid seeing these characters for the first time, I'd think Rogers was a joke after that. There were a lot of gags that fell flat for me, though I did love Rhodey trying to tell his War Machine story. Whendon's usualy humor just ain't doing it for me anymore, Ultron actually annoyed the hell out of me. His Stark-liners and quips rubbed me the wrong way. It doesn't help that I'm starting to really despise Stark, but having the main villain spew the same crap, even when in danger of getting his *** kicked, bugged me.
The action sequences were good for the most part. I really loved Scarlet and Quicksilver. I liked how Cap took a liking to them and mentioned how they were science experiments used for war purposes just like him. Any time the movie played it serious, without the jokes I was engaged. Hated the Black Widow and Hulk thing though, that felt forced. I had no idea what they were talking about in the nursery room the first time I saw it. Then when I realized she was "fixed", I was thinking, "her ****ing womb is so polluted Hulk can't even have a ****ing babby with her".
I definitely liked the first Avengers better. There was a genuine sense of awe and excitement that summer, whereas this just lacked the same punch. It wasn't bad, I'm just sick of their schitick. I think if this had been more focused without all the subplots (and stupid Crystal/Thanos) references, it would have been a leaner, better story. Still enjoyable though. Cap, Thor and the twins were by far my favorite parts. I also liked the nightmare sequences and Quicksilver's sacrifice. Hawkeye was better than he was in the first (though the family thing felt cheesy as ****). I'm really sick of Tony Stark though, when he got the Vision coffin again and had his whole "we're monsters speech", I just wanted him to get off the screen. I've never gone from loving a character (Iron Man 1-3, Avengers), to utterly despising one so quickly. Tony Stark and his character gimmick and circular-going nowhere arc needs to go. Like I said in the Civil War thread, I hope Cap puts Tony in his pace.
Mad Max rules for me so far, that's been my favorite. Avengers 2 was mediocre in comparison.
