Amph Avengers: Endgame (untagged spoilers)

The one in Odin's vault is right handed. The other is left handed.

 

Draft Town was so dull yesterday we cut short our visit and headed over to 600 n Michigan ave for Avengers2, which unfortunately was also pretty dull.

The best thing about the movie was the reclining powered La-Z-Boy style seating - first movie with one of those - and the boys had a blast with the buttons for adjusting the foot rest.

I got a couple of "how much longer is this movie?"s from the kids, which seemed like a fair question, since the general feeling from all of us was that it was never going to end. The whole thing was a blur, six or seven amusing quips spaced out between an encyclopedic rundown of every possible way to destroy a robot.

 

False. They never destroyed one by stating a paradox to it and watch it's processor meltdown trying to answer it.

 

Ultron wasn't some real villain. He felt like some impetuous child. If he had a british accent, then it would have been ok.

 

There must be 5,000 ways to kill a robot
pull of its head, Jed
impale its CPU, Lou
toss if off a cliff, Biff
Just get yourself free

 

Of all the criticisms of this movie, the one I will least brook is the one where James Spader's voice isn't awesome enough.

 

Second viewing last night. And I must say I enjoyed it more this time then the first. It's definitly an exhausting experience though. Still, there's so much right with this movie. Don't let that be confused with the there's so much right about a movie that's bad. Which is a common for those trying there best to make a bad or decent movie better than it really is. No, I think this movie is really good. In my mind, just as good as the first. It's not an easy watch, which is where the exhaustion comes in. This movie has a lot going on and a lot of fighty fighty, but at the same time I don't think there's a scene I don't enjoy in the film. In fact I wanted more from a lot of the scenes, and that's why I'm thinking that this 3 hour plus version is what we all really need to see. I think that version will have more of Ultron's emotional connection to QS and SW, which is only sampled in the movie. Probably more Banner and Widow.

The Thor scene is definitly out of place, and seems so forced into the film. Atleast it's only 30 seconds long. Sad Thor got somewhat short changed in the film. Although not by much, he still gets a lot of fun scenes, however I'm disappointed Whedon didn't take the opportunity for the "Ultron, we have words with thee."

Interested that some don't like the portrayal of Hulk. I thought it was fine. Really loved the scene in the movie wher Banner just some of his darker Banner said,"I could choke the life out of you and not change a shade," and "Go ahead, piss me off." That what Awesome.

Vision was great, and this showing had be paying attention to how important he becomes in the story. Which the first time was kinda confusing.

In the end what more can you want from a movie like this? It's always gonna be the same concept. An ever growing cast of hero's vs a big villain, that's it. The Infinity movies are gonna be the same. If we're lucky they make something out of Thanos lusting after Death. AOU is a comic book movie in every sense of the word, so I think all goals were achieved in that regard.

 

Is it me or haven't both Loki and Ultron try to cause the Avengers to fight among themselves in order to distract them? Hopefully, Thanos comes up with a better way: like trying to thrash them himself from the get-go.

 

I was the only person in the theater that laughed at the Ant Man trailer. Pure silence.

 

I'm really hoping Marvel/Disney release their first(?) "Extended/Director's cut" with AoU.

It got a lukewarm response from my audience, but I loved it, and I've seen it a dozen times. What irked me was, no The Force Awakens trailer. That I've watched, I dunno, 100 times, but I wanted to see it on the big screen with a packed house.

 

Was Vision make-up prosthetics or all CG? I'm guessing the former?

And can someone give me a run down on the gems, like there names and when last seen in the films?

 

No TFA trailer for me either.

 

I got the Star Wars VII trailer on my 3D showing, but not my 2D showing.

 

To quote Dingo...

 

An extended version is actually already planned for BR.

 

For those concerned about BW's love story.

 

Glad to hear it!

 

In mine, it was the only trailer people cheered on.

The TFA 3D teaser trailer 2 looked great! Also saw the Ant Man trailer. Poor Paul Rudd.

 

Yeah my theater was full and the thomas the tank engine moment got the biggest laugh of the night. Leaving the theater was lots of 'can't wait for Ant-Man' comments.

 

Yep, that would have been a quite epic moment.
