I think it's a little worse than A1, but no way does it deserve the shitstream it gets.

Von_Miller 05/27/18 4:05:03 AM #154:	One of my biggest gripes is how they assassinate Nats character. They established her motives and fears in the first avengers and boil her down to Im a monster too because i cant reproduce in this one. Plus the, what i felt as forced relationship with Bruce. Ugh.

TheBiggerWiggle 05/27/18 10:52:33 AM #156:	My biggest complaint with Ultron was the he was supposed to be one of the strongest villains out there, but in the movie he never really felt like a threat IMO. It never really felt like he had the upper hand. Plus the movie was just kinda all over the place. I hated the romance. I hated how out of character Tony was. Quicksilver and Wanda going from bad to good was cliche and predictable as fuck. The action was overall lacking. Maybe my expectations were too high to Avengers 2 after the first but this was easily the biggest let down. --- I have trouble concentrating because I have 80HD. <cite>TheBiggerWiggle posted [p:902063066] in Biscuit wa...

Mr_Biscuit 05/27/18 8:45:23 PM #163:	Avengers: Age of Ultron This movie faced a tall order; not only did it have to follow Winter Soldier and Guardians, it also had to measure up to the first Avengers flick. All in all, I have to say it succeeded. You can't milk the magic of them all meeting for the first time again, so starting right in the throes of an action scene was a good and fun choice, and being honest, I could've watched them hang out at Stark's party for two hours drunkenly trying to lift Thor's hammer. The chemistry between these characters is so much better than it has any right to be, considering they're all appearing alongside each other for only the second time (in most cases) and come from very disparate backstories and franchises. It's insane and a complete joy to watch them interact, still. Speaking of chemistry between characters, I was gonna save this for later, but since these reviews are pretty much just stream-of-consciousness, let's rip off the bandaid and talk Black Widow/Hulk. It was sudden, and perhaps a little forced, but you know what, I bought it. It reminded me a ton of the twist in LOST where ~~it timejumps a little bit and you see Juliet and Sawyer are in love.~~ The initial response is "...okay?", but ultimately the two characters interface well enough to sell it. I also personally felt like this was the first time I'd truly understood Natasha at all or what made her tick, because she was almost always putting on a show in previous entries. I think describing the backstory we got on her as "I'm a monster too because I'm sterile" is a little reductive; we see flashes of her executing a man as presumably a teen and she was sterilized, so the takeaway there is supposed to be that they tried to beat the humanity out of her entirely. It's not just about the sterilization, it's about how she was never supposed to want or care for anything except killing the next target, and I found that more compelling than the mysterious femme fatale cliche we'd gotten so far. I also get why Bruce is a good foil to that, as he's the one guy trying to avoid the fight. I dunno -- sudden, sure, but I'm good with it. Ultron was creepy as hell and I quite enjoyed him. I could've used one or two less jokes out of him, but overall I really enjoyed his presence, and his flair for the dramatic (creating a literal meteor out of a town) was much appreciated. Great performance from Spader. Turns out using the Mind Stone to try to bring sentience to your AI program might have been a bad idea, Tony, but I do get where he was coming from; you want to make it so the Avengers are unnecessary. The plot on the whole regarding Ultron was pretty good -- the twins didn't do much for me at first, but they grew on me, and I have to give credit where it's due, I totally bought the set-up that Hawkeye was gonna get his sappy death scene and they pulled the rug out on me with Quicksilver. That was really clever. The one part of the plot that was a little questionable to me was Thor's "vision" that somehow gave him the foresight to go create, well, Vision -- I'm not sure if that's gonna be further explained, but I didn't really follow that. Vision is cool; I know he's not really this simple, but Superhero J.A.R.V.I.S. was something I didn't know I needed until right now. Action scenes were, as always, incredible. Cap has honestly climbed my list to maybe be my favorite to watch (see my Winter Soldier review) and the synergy combos between the heroes NEVER fail to geek me out. The sweeping shot of them all in a circle fighting Ultron's minions in the final battle had me on Cloud 9. "Epic" is overused, but that was epic. This was a perfectly good Avengers entry. Maybe not mindblowing, but you got great action, a solid plot, most of the laughs landed, and we added some fun new heroes. It doesn't have the luxury of being the first film, but you could've done a LOT worse for the second. --- https://www.bigplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/img_6703.jpg <cite>Mr_Biscuit posted [p:902089956] in Biscuit wa...

Mr_Biscuit 05/29/18 12:41:00 PM #173:	Ant Man I have no idea what the fuck I just watched, but I sure had fun doing it. This movie had absolutely no business being as entertaining as it was, but it was overall a big success despite a few issues I had. Going in, knowing it was well-received, I kind of expected it had to have great characters and great laughs, since I couldnt see how a movie called Ant Man could possibly measure up in action scenes. On the contrary, I found almost the exact opposite to be true. Starting with the negatives, this was probably the first Marvel movie where I thought most of the laughs didnt land, or at least a good portion of them. Stuff like I just ruined the moment, didnt I? was not funny enough to make up for, legitimately, ruining a moment. A lot of character or plot movements were undercut by kinda flat attempts at humor, and thats bad news in more ways than one a lame joke is a bit of an eye roller, but a lame joke supplanting a developmental scene ALSO hurts my investment in the characters. Guardians did this a bit too, but it struck a better balance. So really, my key critique boils down to just an overall lack of connection to the characters, at least by MCU standards (Pym was my favorite character). That out of the way, almost everything else was great. I never got tired of the resizing dynamic, and the action scenes were incredible. That final battle on the toy train set with Yellowjacket was AMAZING, one of the coolest things Ive seen in the MCU, and I absolutely adored the surprise Falcon appearance. Not only was that super fun by itself, I also love how calling the Avengers is a valid crisis plan as they are an active presence in the world. Ill never stop geeking out over the whole overarching SHIELD/Hydra stuff that ties this all together. Somehow, they made the Ant Man powers compelling, and I think setting the film as a heist film with a fitting soundtrack was a GREAT approach to make it work. It was a blast to watch in action, though I hope I grow more attached to the characters over time. Fun movie nonetheless onto Phase Three! --- https://www.bigplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/img_6703.jpg <cite>Mr_Biscuit posted [p:902180811] in Biscuit wa...

A lot of character or plot movements were undercut by kinda flat attempts at humor, and thats bad news in more ways than one a lame joke is a bit of an eye roller, but a lame joke supplanting a developmental scene ALSO hurts my investment in the characters. Guardians did this a bit too, but it struck a better balance. So really, my key critique boils down to just an overall lack of connection to the characters, at least by MCU standards (Pym was my favorite character). That out of the way, almost everything else was great. I never got tired of the resizing dynamic, and the action scenes were incredible. That final battle on the toy train set with Yellowjacket was AMAZING, one of the coolest things Ive seen in the MCU, and I absolutely adored the surprise Falcon appearance. Not only was that super fun by itself, I also love how calling the Avengers is a valid crisis plan as they are an active presence in the world. Ill never stop geeking out over the whole overarching SHIELD/Hydra stuff that ties this all together. Somehow, they made the Ant Man powers compelling, and I think setting the film as a heist film with a fitting soundtrack was a GREAT approach to make it work. It was a blast to watch in action, though I hope I grow more attached to the characters over time. Fun movie nonetheless onto Phase Three!</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Mr_Biscuit 06/02/18 4:40:52 PM #193:	Captain America: Civil War I kicked off Phase Three last night, and it began with a film that simultaneously ranks among the most entertaining while also leaving me with some questions and mixed feelings that I can't quite get over. I wanted to love it, and in some ways I did, but there are some things nagging at me. I guess I'll start there, since it's on my mind. First off, the villains, Baron Zemo and Crossbones. Starting with Crossbones, I feel like they spent so much time on him in Winter Soldier that giving him one scene at the start of the movie was kind of a waste. More importantly with Zemo, while I like the general concept of a reckoning for Ultron, Sokovia, and the Avengers in general, I felt like this guy was barely fleshed out. Not only do I think he could've been a more compelling character if we'd spent more time with him, this is also the first time in the MCU that I haven't been able to buy the contrivances of his plan. He found out that Bucky killed the Starks and tracked down old Hydra members (I don't think we're shown how he pulled that off), obtained video footage of that incident (with Bucky shooting the camera for no reason AFTER doing so), and lured... specifically Cap, Bucky, and Iron Man to that facility. It was an extremely elaborate plan that would've completely failed if Iron Man didn't have a change of heart and showed up, and would've also probably completely failed if there were others there to hold Tony back. I'm also not sure why he bothered to drag them all to that facility, when he could've probably just emailed Tony the video clip and gotten the same result. Maybe I missed something that makes all this make sense. I also would've liked Tony to be taken to task for the fact that Ultron was his fault. Not that it would've exactly settled the debate, but someone on Cap's side should've definitely mentioned that Sokovia only happened because of him and that they can't make such sweeping decisions based solely off his personal guilt. Ultron and Sokovia was treated as a lump fault of the Avengers on the whole, when really everyone except Tony (and Wanda and even Bruce, to be fair) were just preventing the literal end of the world triggered by those three acting on their own. I also would've called this Iron Man 4 before calling it Captain America 3. Maybe that's just a "your mileage may vary" situation because despite what I just said about wishing Tony had been more specifically called out, I was on his side. He put it well when he said Cap was correct about Bucky but still completely off the reservation. Cap channeled the 'MURICA part of his name in this movie, acting unilaterally without jurisdiction and probably killing/definitely endangering a shitton more people in his escapades with Bucky. It was a neat twist that Iron Man was on the law and order side and Cap was on the freewheeling vigilante side, though -- wouldn't have guessed, but it was believably done. The sides people ended up on mostly made sense, though honestly Natasha has developed Kate-from-LOST syndrome of making decisions that jeopardize situations at key moments. I also like Vision but I'm not sure if he was just jacking off for half of the airport fight or what. He only did anything at the end. As for positives, the emotions and acting were excellent with some truly fantastic tension. The fight scenes were incredibly entertaining, it was a hell of a debut for Black Panther and Spiderman, who both totally crushed it, and it was great to see Antman, Falcon, War Machine, etc get more involved. Tony/Peter is already great and I'm sad I know what happens with that in Infinity War. Bucky is a fun character and I'm glad he wasn't killed off, though I remember that now from the BP post-credits scene. I know I spoke at length about the negatives, but the positives almost go without saying and are the same strengths of all the best MCU movies, so I wanted to elaborate on my issues. Still a worthy entry, but uncharacteristically flawed. --- https://www.bigplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/img_6703.jpg <cite>Mr_Biscuit posted [p:902436848] in Biscuit wa...

He found out that Bucky killed the Starks and tracked down old Hydra members (I don't think we're shown how he pulled that off), obtained video footage of that incident (with Bucky shooting the camera for no reason AFTER doing so), and lured... specifically Cap, Bucky, and Iron Man to that facility. It was an extremely elaborate plan that would've completely failed if Iron Man didn't have a change of heart and showed up, and would've also probably completely failed if there were others there to hold Tony back. I'm also not sure why he bothered to drag them all to that facility, when he could've probably just emailed Tony the video clip and gotten the same result. Maybe I missed something that makes all this make sense. I've not seen civil war in about a year or so but I'll take my best shot here. When Nat leaked all the hyrda stuff in Winter Soldier, hideouts for all the hydra people were probably posted. It was all encrypted and stuff, but Zemo explicitly said he had a lot of time and was good at that stuff so that checks out. Getting the three of them to the base was a bit lucky, but it probably wasnt necessarily his plan from the get go. By framing the doctor's death on Bucky, Tony would be tipped off that something was wrong because he saw Bucky get away with Steve already. It'd make him more likely to show up. If he doesn't, that's not big deal. Then he'd probably just go public with the info Zemo improvising is also perfectly in line with his character. Plan A was to get Hydra guy in Cleveland to talk. After that failed, he showed really good ability to change plans on the fly with framing Bucky for a terrorist attack. He couldn't track him by himself, but an international manhunt could certainly do the trick. If he came up with that on the fly, I'm sure Tony not showing up wouldn't ruin his plans. --- http://tinyurl.com/qg6jcsu New York Mets 2015 NL Champions.

Kind of like the character of Nate from Leverage. He's the mastermind. "Oh, well blahblahblah. We're switching to plan H." "Plan H? Do you have a plan M?" "Hardison dies in plan M." --- http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/9846/images/slowpoke.gif https://imgur.com/6ezFwG1 <cite>DrizztLink posted [p:902465083] in Biscuit wa...
