Avengers: Age of Ultron

Saw it yesterday. Shitty movie.

But you liked MoS, and that was shit.

Not sure I can trust your opinion.

I didn't like MOS either.

Nobody did, but it's better than AoU for sure. At least it didn't have every character sound like a 20-something hipster douchebag.

Maybe it's just as good but the "wow" factor of a big team up is gone?

I didn't like the first one either. This one's worse, much worse.

It's good just not Marvel's best. But people were probably expecting Marvel's best.

But now that those of us who have seen it have reduced expectations a bit the people who haven't seen it will probably enjoy it more.

Not sure I agree entirely with that. Age of Ultron is in many ways far better than the first movie. Just not with the villain or the way his story works

Winter Soldier was vastly superior to Cap's first outing. Guardians has been the best of all the related movies so far.

As for outwith the Avengers/Guardians/Thanos story the X men movies have improved immeasurably with First Class and DoFP compared with the trilogy and wolverine movies.

^ Yeah it's a bit silly saying there's Marvel fatigue when this movie has made $200mill plus abroad in one weekend, and when you look at the massive success and incredibly well received films they had last year.

There's always some sort of article like that every couple of years saying something like "Marvel fatigue" or the end of the comic book movie boom is slowing down etc.

Ridiculous

Do you think they'll reboot everything after Infinity War?

Probably not, since black panther, dr strange and other franchises are just now being kickstarted

They'll reboot eventually but in like 10-15 years I reckon. Or when they get back X-Men : )

I can understand what the article means by fatigue...the same formula's used in both movies...the heroes petty bickering, the villain's cliched motive of taking over or destroying the world, the heroes banding together...the guaranteed good triumphing over evil...roll the credits.

Personally I walked out of the first movie hyped up wanting to see it again. But Ultron, I walked out feeling I can easily wait for dvd.

On a random note, to the other people who have seen it, anyone feel like Cap is veering more and more away from "peak" human and closer to watered down Asgardian. Just compare him in The First Avenger to how he is portrayed in Age of Ultron. Some of the impacts and blows he tanks, seemingly without any injury, was insane

Spoiler:
especially his showing in his fight vs Ultron
. And his strength feats this movie are also pushed to a new level IMO. Almost can't believe it's the same character.

Don't really have an opinion on Cap's "increased" strength in Ultron.
I was more focused on the amount of times he was willing to lose his shield in battle if it wasn't retrieved by someone else.
For a weapon that was made of a rare metal element & worth apparently millions, Cap really didn't seem to care if he lost the shield or it fell in the wrong hands.
