I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that score was right on the mark. The first Avengers was pretty shitty too.

Yu · May 03, 2015, 02:25:06 PM

Will probably end up watching it at some point. I'll see if I enjoy it or not, I'm only watching for entertainment value.

I have yet to see it, but I doubt it deserves more than a 5.

You are just the worst.
I'll torrent it eventually and get back to you.

I already did to see if it was worth watching in the theater. To me it's a 6/10. Very "Meh".

I thought they went a little overboard with the humor in this one
Oh god, you serious?

More so than Avengers 1 I mean. Not as bad as Thor the Dark World or anything.

Septy · May 03, 2015, 07:39:27 PM

Was worse than the first Avengers

Phase 2 has been god awful

Verbatim · May 03, 2015, 08:19:58 PM

Just came back. Enjoyed it. I'd say it's about on par with the last film.

Favorite Avenger is still Hawkeye, even though I really had to stretch my imagination to make sense of the fact that he is at all capable of holding his own against Ultron with just his arrows.

I thought they introduced way too many new superheroes in this one, and it makes sense that

Spoiler

they would kill off Quicksilver, because otherwise, that's just a fuck-ton of characters to keep track of. It sucks that that's probably the only real reason, though.

I wasn't digging the Bruce/Natasha romance scenes.

My favorite scene was when they're all at the party, and they're all trying to pick up Thor's hammer, and none of them can do it.

Spoiler

Turns into a beautiful Chekhov's Gun/Brick Joke much later, where this new Avenger (I don't know his name, because they never do name him) is created, and after explaining his purpose, he nonchalantly picks up Thor's hammer and passes it to a bemused Thor. You know, to show us how powerful he is. That was cool.

Overall, 7/10.

Verbatim · May 03, 2015, 08:23:41 PM

OH. And I was super impressed with how they didn't sexualize Scarlet Witch at all. Always a plus.

Thor's hammer isn't heavy, it's magical and prevents those it deems unworthy from lifting it. Vision lifted it because he was pure and has no ill intentions, or something along those lines.

May 03, 2015, 08:30:02 PM

I give it an 8.

Ah, that's right.
Still a cool scene.

Spoiler

I'd still say Thor's Hammer is pretty heavy on its own, though <_<

is marvel impervious to criticism from you people

like really. they cant come up with a decent villain or a conflict that actually feels important. characterization is lost beyond basic interactions. it's a gilded turd. pretty to look at, nothing worthwhile underneath.

It was great. My only complaints would be that I don't think this movie should had to set up half the movies in phase 3 and I thought they went a little overboard with the humor in this one, but maybe that was just due to the atmosphere of the Thursday night premiere crowd. I'd like to see it again and see if it's still a problem. I loved everything else so overall I'd probably rate it a 8/10.

I had the opposite impression--there wasn't more or less humor than in the first Avengers movie, and a lot of the jokes fell flat for me this time.

Like I said it might have just been the atmosphere. I went to one of the first showings at a really big theater. They laughed at pretty much anything that could be somewhat humorous. I want to see it again and see if it feels the same.

The only jokes that fell flat for me were in the third act when the stakes were supposed to be really high and they kept cracking jokes and having playful banter. I was like "ok Joss, it's time to be serious now".

ghost in the shell is one of the greatest pieces of scifi to ever grace the world of art, you're just an uncultured pleb with severe problems accepting alternate forms of artistic expression.

the marvel movie universe is just a series of $15 excuses to go laugh in a theatre with hundreds of strangers while a CGI Hulk punches faceless alien/robot armies

I really enjoyed it, mainly because we finally got to see some Hawkeye story.

"The city is flying, we're fighting an army of robots and I've got a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense."

I actually liked this movie. It's quite a feat to pay attention to so many characters and not go crazy

I saw the movie earlier today.
I enjoyed it.
