Same. The BB Exclusive looks fantastic (matches the A1 steel), and I'm really tempted, yet I really hated the movie. Not sure what'll happen.
I'm gonna pick up the Best Buy steelbook.

I haven't seen the BB SB art yet. It's not up on their website.

Very nice looking SB's. I hate how long they're making these movies nowadays. With our schedule movies over 2 hours are pretty much ruled out.

I barely go to the cinema, so I welcome long movies when I actually tack the time to go. I would have loved to see the extended version of this at the cinema. Guess I will have to settle for the deleted scenes...

Totally agree when it comes to the extremely rare occasion I get to go out to the cinema...this was the first movie I've seen out in long time. I meant when it comes to putting in a blu ray at night. 2+ hour run time movies rarely if ever get watched. Yet I still buy them if the packaging is pretty and "collectible", because I'm ******** like that.

Watching Avengers 1 and Stark's free fall into his armor still gives goosebumps. especially in 3D.
In the 90's I devoured the longer cuts of films and applauded long run times in general. I always wanted "moar" of my favorite movies. Now more and more I'm appreciating the svelt elegance of a well crafted two hour tale, especially if it's an event or rollercoaster movie. Three hour Age of Extinction was just ridiculous. I like that movies like Birdman, Fury Road, Jurassic World, Ex Machina, etc., are getting back to the lean craftsmanship of Star Wars, Raiders, Die Hard, Terminator and Robocop 1, etc.
LOTR will always get a pass because they are book based and demand more room for storytelling. Boyhood is another exception as it made perfect use of its long run time.

Same here...I have at least 1 steelbook for every marvel film. I used to buy more, they are out of control with the releases. MCU movies are the only ones I continue to buy, probably I'll also get the DCCU ones.Totally agree when it comes to the extremely rare occasion I get to go out to the cinema...this was the first movie I've seen out in long time.

I agree except that AOU really needed to expand some of its narrative.
I'll give you that. I don't know what all was filmed but three scenes stood out as beginning somewhat abruptly:
1. No acquisition of Ultron's "Prime" body. Just a jump from the mangled Iron Legion to a brand new form we'd never seen.
2. Twins showing up at the church knowing who he was.
3. Hulk's rampage without any context of what his vision was.
I bet a mere five extra minutes could have established those scenes just a little more organically. They didn't even need to give us a full Hulk "dream sequence." Just cutting to his POV every once in a while during the rampage showing him in a city of bloodthirsty Chitauri would have done the trick. Then at the end when he sits up out of the rubble and sees scurrying *humans* we could have shared his transitions more smoothly.
Just a few seconds is all we would have needed.

I really wished that we got a little more of his 1st tangled beat up murderous form, found him to be very intriguing

Still pretty sure Ultron contacted the twins to meet him at the church.
Right off the bat, Wanda says, "...if you're wasting our time." As if they were summoned with some sort of proposition.
Wanda also said she didn't expect him to be what he was...she would've had to know about him prior to have any expectations.

[h=1]Hulkbuster' And 'Ultron' Designs From AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON[/h]
[h=2]A new batch of Avengers: Age of Ultron concept art has surfaced by Phil Saunders which gives us a great look at just how different both the titular villain and Tony Stark's amazing Hulkbuster armour could have been in the Marvel Studios sequel. Hit the jump to check it out...[/h]
Marvel Studios concept artist Phil Saunders has shared some of his alternate designs for both Ultron and the Hulkbuster armour in Avengers: Age of Ultron. As you can see, these are very different to what ended up on the big screen, but it would have been pretty hard to complain too much about any of these ultimately being used in the sequel. The Hulkbuster in particular looks a lot more similar to its comic book counterpart too which would have been cool. What do you think? Better or worse than the final versions? As always, let us know your thoughts in the usual place!
Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Cobie Smulders, Don Cheadle, Paul Bettany, James Spader, and Samuel L. Jackson and hits DVD and Blu-ray this year.

3D in AOU was useless.
3D in Avengers greatly enhances the Carrier and NY battle.
