Avengers 2: Age of Ultron

Kinda meh TBH. Has nowhere near the "omph" of Avenger's mid-credit scene.

The way I see it it's to set up a whole set of future films and hit what is the next plan of Thanos.

Anyways I don't think hardly any movie goers will actually get the reference (don't mean you) I mean like the average person who goes to the cinema.

I think it's quite good myself.

Don't get me wrong it's not bad. It just pales in comparison to the Avenger's and IM's scene which were both "holy s***!" moments. Both of those were unexpected by contrast we've known this was coming for awhile.

Oh sure I get your point, it's cool.

I mean I'm waiting for the day they mention,

"There are recent reports of storms twisting in an anti clockwise direction", and it transitions into a scene akin to this.

Never gonna happen though 🙁

Yep in the UK.

First screening is at midnight tonight.

Only taking me so long to watch it because I want the best seats and want IMAX and was booking for 4 people. So Sunday night was pretty free, all other Imax screenings are pretty booked until then.

For repeat viewings I won't be too bothered, but that first time has to be perfect!

damn you 😛

but im seeing age of ultron next friday and then again the following saturday

^ HaHa I've booked an Imax screen with a friend midnight tomorrow, and still watching it again on Sunday night 🙂

I heard

Spoiler:
Vision has the Mind Gem and that he lifted Mjolnir.

Disregard the above. The questions were answered elsewhere.

What makes you think so? Sentry isn't off limits.

I don't know it just seems off for me. I mean the most correct place to fit him in would be in Civil War (as he was in the comics) and they could show some character development but he obviously wont be in there.

Even if he was to be put in the Marvel Universe it's gonna be years and years before a single word of him is even uttered. Plus they have to find a really good actor to play him as he is quite a complex character.

The thing is, Sentry doesn't *need* to be as complex in the films as Marvel has made him in the comics. Maybe depict him walking the line between good and evil--like he's one slip away from going to the dark side... But that's really all we need of his personality in the films at first.

Sentry is a pretty obscure character. As far as the average joe is concerned, introducing Sentry in the cinematic universe is pretty much like introducing Superman. Trying to throw a complex psyche on top of that right away would simply overload your typical moviegoer(who primarily just wants to see what the guy can do.) They'd lose interest if things got too deep. That said, IF Sentry were ever to appear, they need to keep his characterization as simple as possible, and only dive further into his scarred psyche in later films... Especially given that he'd almost certainly appear in a minor role initially.

IMO. 🙂

Yeah I guess you're right actually. Going too in depth would make it unappealing. I guess in the end going too in depth would make it boring for a lot of people. I guess doing the whole walking on the thin line between good and evil could easily be made into a good storyline.

It'd be interesting to see the Void on screen.

I agree.

If they want to go deep then they can always do a miracleman movie.

And explore an interesting character 🙂

Sentry won't be in any movies unless they kill off Thor. Sentry was originally brought in to be a replacement kind of hero for Thor and it didn't really work out. But who knows, if Marvel is really feeling their oats we might get a Sentry sighting sooner than expected.

Anyone else left underwhelmed by A2:AoU?

Great movie, lots of popcorn stuff and insane action but, even less substantive character inter-play and development than the first movie and too wide a cast to do justice to the actual proper Avengers.

Ultron was well acted though.

I actually thought they did more to flesh out the characters than the first one, personally. True that they couldn't fit as much as they would have liked to, but it still felt like a more personal story to me.

Supposedly, AOA is pretty disappointing to many people and the reviews are still fresh, but Forbes called it massively disappointing, too.

I have a feeling I'll like the 1st one better from some of the reviews I have read.

I suspect, like with the IM franchise, the second one will be the stinker that people prefer to forget.

Though this is no stinker by any means. It is a really good film, just not as good as Avengers and, nowhere near as good fun as Guardians of The Galaxy.

Marvel still made a very solid and watch-able movie, just not as good as the standard they've set for themselves.

To be fair, Avengers does massively benefit from a lot of things that aren't directly related to the movie. From an objective standpoints, it's not some masterpiece, imo.

Is it because it's a little bit darker in tone? Or are the trailers misleading?
