Marvel's Done It Again. Literally.

Rating: 6/10 (2 May 2015)

This, like many of the live action Marvel products, was action packed, hilarious, and squeal inducing for all the fans. Personally, I liked Winter Solider much more, but this was a solid addition to the film series. I spent much of movie gasping or crying or just reacting in general.
But we've seen it all before. Minus the actual death, the events have all been paralleled in one way or another.
Tony Stark's need to protect the Earth by creating something new? Some new armor, a bouncer for the club that is Earth? Project Insight, from Cap 2. Same intentions. Securing the world's safety by creating something that's eh not so safe.
The whole part where they're fighting each other. #tbt to the Avengers. Literally the same thing happened. They were all fighting the Hulk and Cap and Iron man were disagreeing, blah blah blah. It's really not very satisfying to watch Banner beat the snot out of everyone time and time again. Don't get me wrong, the action sequences are be-yoo-ti-full. But the plot behind them is getting a little old.
The robot army = the Chitauri. Nuff' said.
It's all been seen before. It's all very thin material. The Banner/Romanoff romance makes absolutely zero sense to me. Like the whole back story and compatibility reasons, I see and understand. But the actors have absolutely no romantic chemistry. Not ragging on Johansson/Ruffalo acting skills, but they don't click in the way that Evans/Johansson or even Renner did.
I'm just nitpicking. The movie was pretty fabulous and I spent most of it with my mouth hanging open. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were fantastic, but Falcon should have been more present. Also. Coulson and Bucky should have made a cameo (just saying).
It's absolutely worth watching!
