There's a new Avengers TV Spot out.
Link to Youtube video The movie's in theaters May 1st. Tell me, what is ULTRON and why are there so many of them? |
|
From what I've gathered, Ultron is an AI created by Stark to protect the Earth.
But it goes Cylon and wants to destroy the human race. I know that Scarlett Witch and Quiksilver becoming Avengers is common knowledge to the comic crowd, but that trailer is a bit spoilery for everyone else.

way to go Stark. 
Can't wait.  watch the first one at least once a month, lately with my kids.I think that was a good aspect to work in there, rather than the original Marvel storyline. It can help build up the tensions that will make the Civil War storyline more relevant. |

There's a double feature not far from me, one showing today only. I'm trying to figure out a way to get out of work to go see it. Quoted:

A local theater is showing a double feature - Avengers followed by Avengers - Age of Ultron. There's a double feature not far from me, one showing today only. I'm trying to figure out a way to get out of work to go see it. I just got back from the double feature. It was a good pair for a double feature. I'd forgotten what was in The Avengers and what was not. It all blended together with the other Marvel films. Home Run! That's what it was. Coming right off the bat you knew it was out of the park. Even brfore the Ump called it. No spoilers, it's too early. |
| Just came back from seeing it and it was freaking amazing. Just a constant "Wow!" from one scene to the next. It was incredible how much characterization they managed to squeeze in for so many characters. Whedon certainly went out with a bang! I was sad to see Click To View Spoiler though. |

Thought it was the worse movie I've seen in a LONG time. In fact, my wife and I left the theater about an hour and a half in, because it was just incredibly boring.
The film is basically Transformers. It's a lot of fast moving CGI action for the sake of filling every inch of the screen full of explosions and crap. The acting was so dry and stale that it felt like they were all reading it straight from the script. I will say that I found Ultron's scenes to be great, but t hey were too few to give the movie any redemption. Overall, save your money and maybe rent it on I-Tunes at some point or watch it on TV. |

Haven't seen it yet but will - I just wanted to comment that all the various studios need to get over their territorial pissings so The X-Men could get the same quality treatment. Additionally, Wolverine's apparently done a stint as an Avenger in the comics (gave up on them in the mid-90s so lost track) so we need to get him in there too. A bit of yellow, blue, and black taking on some green and purple would make for some good action.
I noticed in one of the trailers that they gave a nod to Cap being the only human worthy enough to pick up Mjolnir - without spoiling too much does it ever go farther than slightly moving it as shown in the trailer? Finally, regarding Vision - they don't allude to him in the trailers except a brief pan of his face - is he more prominent in the film? Again, don't need to spoil just advise. |

not as good as the first at all. The witch character was great. The vision character however didn't really seem even worth putting in there. The villain as well wasn't really very good I didn't think. The villain was great, the Vision was key to Ultron's plan, AND key to the movie's plot resolution so it's rather odd to say he didn't seem "worth putting in there." |

The Tesseract, the aether from Thor: the Dark World, the mind stone and the stone from Guardians of the Galaxy. |

I agree. Saw it yesterday with my son and can't wait to go back to take my wife and daughters as well (quite sure Junior won't mind a "rerun" in the least). Perhaps not a "great film" but definitely a very fun and enjoyable movie. I'll take that any day. Quoted:

They actually had a bit of character development which I enjoyed. |

lot of folks I realize like the vision character but he added nothing.
aside from ultron trying to build it that's really it. IMO the character just slowed down the movie and added nothing. I get there's something with the stones, but the character I thought was bad. Also the hawkeye family thing was just a part that draggggggggggged for me. |

The Vision was the key to the whole movie...and his fate was foreshadowed by Ultron's words on that freighter in South Africa about how humans sew the seeds of their own destruction via their children. Also the parts in Hawkeye's farmhouse were the best character-building moments of the movie and made the Hawkeye character very interesting. |

but no, vision to me just felt like a thrown in part that added nothing. Except, you know, the key to defeating the bad guy. Except that part. not really. The key to defeating the bad guy was they had to destroy all his bodies and block him from the web. The second part os a normal stark activity that they crammed a robot into the movie to do. Also widow wasn't near as entertaining as she's been before. Wife mentioned that one. |

Yes, really. You weren't paying attention. Only Jarvis could block him from the web and Jarvis was in the Vision. And only the mind stone could penetrate the vibranium armor. Sorry you can't follow the plot, but don't blame that on the movie. |

Stark would have needed Jarvis' capability for the block, and Ultron had already proven too much for Jarvis alone. |

Yup though, hard paying attention when it gets boring like it did. |

it is, when it comes to bad movies I have a short tolerance unless it's like cheesey horror style.
I was really hoping this one would be great and turn around the recent stuff. Ironman 3, guardians, i was hoping this would be a good one again. Cap 2 so far is the only recent bright spot and antman looks bad. |

(Besides the avatar, of course.) |

eh guardians was a kids movie with a talking raccoon and dancing tree. Wife liked it, I didn't care for it.
I'm really hoping the DC guys do better than they did with green lantern. I'm just waiting for another Spiderman! Has nothing to do with companies though. Iron man was great, the Thor movies were pretty good too but the first cap and the talking raccoon were definitely he low spots so far for me |
