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.

It definitely had more "personal" elements to it, though they didn't really hang together or go very far. Lots of vignettes that didn't amount to actual character relations development, just a bog-standard reset before the end kind of thing.

The worst thing was going in expecting some more story to the development of some of the relationships that this movie - suddenly and out of nowhere - puts forward.

Personally, I did not see the nest coming nor the cosy way even BW is involved.

I can see why Joss Whedon felt it right to decline the offer to write/direct the rest of The Avengers movies.

I honestly disagree, but that's me.

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

It didn't feel particularly dark, not even up to the more sombre MAOS levels of every cloud has an anthrax lining.

The comedy elements were just as prominent as in the first movie. In fact there are a couple of somewhat misfiring "homages" to classic set-ups that they did in the first one.

The action is significantly better, broader in scope and much better depicted, than the first movie.

I loved Veronica's début.

Perfectly entitled to do so. My view isn't anything more than that.

Where does Avengers 2 rank in your list of best MCU movies? In terms of quality.

Winter Soldier's an overall better film than IM3 but, I watch IM3 mostly for the humour and some good fights. Also, I find Gwyneth Paltrow appealing, for some strange reason.

Wow, that's a unique order. I do wonder why in the **** TIH is above WS, IM3 is pretty re-watchable though. I like that Age of Ultron is considered by many to be in the upper echelon of Marvel films.

BTW, Gwyneth Paltrow being appealing is certainly not strange 😄

Vision has the Mind Gem and that he lifted Mjolnir.
Is this true?
Spoiler:
In a word, yes! The cosmic scepter Loki was wielding was actually the mind gem.Ultron broke the cosmic scepter in order to place the gem in his intended new body.But the Avengers were able to apprehend this new body.Stark and Banner decided to upload Jarvis in this body.Thor then used his lightning to complete what Stark and Banner Started.Vision was then shown giving Thor his hammer.

Anus77's list is pure fail , the Incredible Hulk in the top few movies!! Lol shit was awful.

Mostly it's a matter of taste and disposition, but TIH is a really good film, just overshadowed by the awful Ang Lee Hulk nonsense.

WS is in my collection, but I've only seen it the once and, though enjoyable, I don't find SHIELD or CA very interesting as protagonists. The special effects and battles are spectacular, perhaps even up there with the current Avengers:AoU (in fact, there are quite a few parallels with the hellicarier).

I just enjoyed The Hulk done well, with Stern, a near psychotic General Ross and the birth of Abomination. Also, Liv Tyler.

Are you autistic?

I'm serious, is there some developmental/mental damage you suffer from?

I don't remember much about you (not that it matters much), but I do recall you living up to half of your moniker, the insane part.

nothing to back your stance about the boring shitfest TIH was.
You just base stuff of rabid fanboyism.

The Incredible Hulk is the worst Marvel Studios movie; either that or Iron Man 2. I'm reserving judgement on AOU until I see it Thursday.

Trying to work out what AA is on janus77's list then i remember he's from the UK.

TIH was actually a really very good movie. Even if it's the worst of the MCU, it's pretty damn good. Calling it a bore fest is moronic

Only morons think TIH was good though.

🤨

Figuratively look in my eyes, and call this a bore fest. I ****ing dare you,

YouTube video

It's a borefest, moron.

There's no shame in back peddling. Go on, admit you're incorrect and a stupid ****ing turd and we'll all move on.
