Review of Avengers: Age of Ultron - or you've been Jossed!

[supertights]

So, yanow, warning for like, spoilers and stuff.

This movie felt like such a "Joss" movie, if you catch my drift. In other words, yucky! First minute in, my sister and I were saying how glad we were to have gone to the 2D viewing because, wow, busy screen full of lots of action and things happening, so many things, I had trouble following it all.

Stream of consciousness style, here we go.


Okay, things that I liked with no context:

Language!
Hulk selfie!
Hawkeye h/c
The Twins (problematic favs clearly)
The party
The afterparty (the hammer scene)
Thor's obvious adoration of Jane (Jane's better!)
Cameos!
Helen Cho
Andy Serkis, this might be the only movie I like you in Mr Serkis
Vision (drools a lot)
Vision's cape
Wakanda!
The creepy dream sequences
Veronica
Thor gets his shirt off again, happy clapping
CAP RIPPING THE WOOD IN HALF WITH HIS BARE HANDS
Friday
Fury saves the day!
War Machine saves it too!
Vision saves Wanda
No, the elevator is not worthy but who are you to judge!
The end of credits end scene


Things I had a problem with:

Chekhov's gun misfire
The obvious "swerve"
The never ending bad puns and hammy dialogue
Ultron (aka James Spader's voice)
Hawkeye's family (which canon are we in, people, make up your mind, are you 616 or Ultimate?)
Nat/Bruce
The squabbling between Cap and Ironman, for God's sake, guys, get a fucking room already!
The end of Pietro?
No end scene Marvel? What, did Disney cut your budget or something? Maybe you could've lost a few CGI Ultrons to make it?
The endless fight scenes
Nat's overflowing angst
Tony why did you get out of your suit?
Tony why did you?
Tony why did you again? Have you learned nothing?
Ugh, I got Joss all over me again, yuck!
