Buffy ,'Showtime'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Sail, I found Vision intriguing, but I'm not really familiar with the character and they didn't really use him much. Maybe he'll be in future films?
P-C, I could see that, but that all pretty much happened off screen and all we got what Tony and Bruce telling us about it, which isn't terribly exciting.
We saw Vision burning Ultron out of the Internet in the church. It was their big fight scene. He made all the blue CGI into yellow CGI. It's compelling.
P-C, I missed that or wasn't paying much attention at that point. The 3-D was making me kind of anxious. I should probably see it again without the 3-D.
I saw it in 2D. Anyone else see it in 3D, who generally likes 3D?
I did not catch this reference but I was wondering why Veronica was called Veronica and HA.
I saw it in 3D. It was fine: didn't really add to the experience, but I didn't find it to be badly done.
I knew it had to be an Archie reference, but I didn't put it in context with Betty (Ross) and Veronica. Other than to wonder why they were setting up a romance between Bruce and Natasha, because Betty! Where the heck was Betty? I'm not up enough on the Hulk backstory to know what happened with the two of them.
I think the last we saw of Betty was in The Incredible Hulk, when Bruce just up and left her, similar to what he does to Natasha here. I don't think she's been referenced at all in the MCU since then, though??
So last night's SNL had the whole Black Widow trailer of pointed hilarity, and I made the natural error if reading the comments by defensive fans on io9, and all I could think for many of them was, Oh, honey, you so clearly have not seen AoU yet.
Thanks for the link, P-C. I had wondered.
But it did feel like it ignored every Marvel movie that had been released in the wake of Avengers.
After Iron Man 3 and Tony saying "Don't leave me, buddy," I think he should have been a touch more upset at Jarvis being mostly killed. And where the hell was Dummy!
I would have been a lot happier if it had been an all-purpose villain instead of something of Tony's that got away. An Avengers story is supposed to be about the team working together, not being so pissed at each other.
Ultron just seems to come out of nowhere, and it's a cliché type of the robots will turn on us and destroy us all thing. With the whole yes, humans are flawed but glorious speech. We were getting that speech from Original Series Kirk in the 60s.
