The movie leaves a strange impression. I expected it to be void, but actually, it is full of content. I think it was even too much for the cinema, although when you stop and able to process it: it’s alright.
They obviously built a lot for the Hulk vs Hulk Iron Man fight. Which is pointless, but then most of the Hulk moments are.
Confused me a lot that Quicksilver is played by a different actor, and has different personality here than in the X-Men movies.
The product placement in that one is bad. Very bad. First the Beats, then Gilette. And that Tony Stark car, some Audi?
Surprisingly, Johansson is really impressive in that one. Great emotional range in her scene with Ruffalo.
When you try to follow what’s going on, it’s confusing, since you don’t have any rules. Is Black Widow supposed to do anything with her pistols to mutants and huge robots?
Who’s stronger, a robot made of metal or Captain America, and why? So, there’s a strange suspension of disbelief when a 3 meters tall flying robot decided to have a fight inside a train car. Why? He could just burst through the roof and fly away, no?
Same problem with Scarlet Witch. She can manipulate people’s minds, but she can also… stop a train with telekinesys?
Speaking of weird scenes, there’s this woman…
Not sure why she had to run like that. She didn’t get a role in the next one anyway.
I managed to watch it in one go. And I wasn’t on an airplane. So it’s not that terrible. The visuals are pretty good:
The story is quite pointless, though, in a “monster of the week” kind of way. Tony Stark creates a roboclone that decides it’s best to destroy humanity. Then they are chased by that “clone” until they create another clone, Vision, which is slightly more sane and with his help they beat the previous clone. Unlike first Avengers, there is no external danger, and I just can’t stop and think that this could be entirely avoided, and all the works is just to introduce a couple of pointless characters to the mix.
