****The Official The Avengers: Age of Ultron Thread ****

JBod said:
I watched at IMAX Waterloo today. Thoroughly enjoyed it as a good action sci-fi flick.

Only part I thought could have been handled better was the assembling of The Avengers rather than diving straight into some action going after the Loki's staff that we (as the audience) didn't know was missing in the first place, there should have been some attempt to having to gather/find them. In fact I thought the story line (after Iron Man 3 and the fall of Shield to Hydra) would have been Stark attempting to create Ultron due to Potts wanting him to give up Iron Man. Him failing and then having to Assemble the Avengers team himself.

Also got to see my name in the credits :p

To be fair, Loki's staff was shown (along with the two twins) at the end of Captain America Winter Soldier, in the post-credits scene. I guess the start is a bit weird for anyone who hasn't seen that film or stayed for that scene though.

So is it the mind gem that's in the staff or the soul gem? I'm betting on the former but there is a lot of confusion on the net regarding this, with some people even confusing the two?
 
Hypothetical question.

One of Scarlet Witch's power is to move things with her mind right? I saw her tear robots into 2 pieces with a swing of her arms.

I wonder if she could split the Hulk in 2 that way.

Hated it, slow paced, unfunny, no real substance to the plot, no character depth. It was like some comic fantasists 3 hour epic.

3.5/10 at best if only for the effects and even that had its shoddy moments.

There WAS character development, or were you blind to it?

They built up the main characters in the first film... this one was much more about Ultron and toward the end, Jarvis...

I thought it was great... I preferred it to the first one.



I wonder how many in here spotted the real story?



How Ultron actually succeeded in his plan, even if he wasn't aware of it...

He improved the harmony of the "A" team by being himself... win win ;)

They claim six... I think they're missing one... the 7th, built off the chakras.

There is more to these films based off an expression of the collective unconscious... you can see more in them if you choose to look deeper. It's OK if you only want to observer the surface.

I watched it on Saturday night and enjoyed it. I thought the banter and wise cracks between the main characters was as good as ever, but I do agree that Ultron had a few too many humorous moments, I would have preferred him to be a bit more cold and calculating.

I wouldn't say it was as good as the first Avengers film, or GotG (my favourite Marvel film), but it certainly didn't disappoint.

Cold an calculating? Why?

IMO it showed a more realistic storyline that could even create a character like that.

He knew his mission, to bring peace to the world... only like a child being exposed to the violence and depravity of humanity as a first learning experience (rather than at least having loving parents to begin and then enter the world)... simply came to the wrong conclusion early in his development.

He was not meant to be cold and calculating... he was simply a highly advance child with a "good" mission, a mission that was simply interpreted incorrectly based on the primary information at hand.

He actually succeeded in what he was meant to do... improving harmony in the avengers team... helping them work together in unity rather than disarray.

His loss was a win that win for the other team won a greater internal battle...

What's the deal with the infinity stones? One was in GotG and now one in Ultron.

They are all in the build up to the next two avengers movie, Infinity Wars (two parter anyway)

Thanos wields all of the gems in the Infinity gauntlet.

As for this movie, I was blown away. 10/10. Only thing that seemed odd to me, why didn't Stark just use the Hulkbuster suit against Ultron.

Apparently the extended edition will be 3 hours long and there's also an alternate ending.

I heard the original cut was 3 hours long, but Whedon had to cut it back. I heard the same thing about the ending though, apparently the US get's a different ending.

Cheers, just watched this chap on youtube and he cleared some stuff up.
CA & Avengers, Tesseract/space stone
GothG, power stone
Avengers 2, mind stone
Thor 2, Aether/reality stone (he was guessing about this)

So will the infinity wars movie have the GotG characters in?

It's the mind gem that's in the staff and that Vision has, Thor says it is when he's explaining the infinity stones to the other Avengers.

Wasn't he trying to destroy the Avengers though? Like you say, his mission was to create peace on Earth, and he saw the Avengers as the main threat to his mission. He talks at one point about creating discord and infighting amongst the Avengers, with the intention of making them easier targets. He also decides that humanity must die because there can be no peace between humans, that we are too warmongering and he won't ever succeed in his mission if we are still here as a species, hence why he tries to create another extinction level event with the meteor.

Thanos isn't very good at getting them, we are almost in phase 3 and he has jack **** :p

He's more than capable of getting them all himself. He's just waiting for the right time and the right moment with the least amount of fuss.
