Hollywood, stop! It is not a good idea to make superhero or action movies with astounding visual effects but a poor screenplay

Rating: 5/10 (13 October 2015)

The first part of the movie (12 minutes) is a quite good action flick. Then, the title "Avengers" appears and the film gets worse and worse. Indeed, the visual effects throughout the movie are amazingly well done, extremely realistic and numerous (three thousand of them!), and many people, particularly youngsters, think that this is the most important thing in a superhero film (then rejecting many nice movies which lack those amazing visual effects or that fast pace or that amount of explicit violence), but I strongly disagree: the story is always the most important element... and this one is poor! In my opinion, most of the time "Avengers 2" is a bit boring, there are many silly dialogs, lots of unfunny gags, and the black-green romance is cheesy, besides having no previous development (the chat about having or not a future together is specially pathetic). Talking about the good traits, Robert Downey Jr. was the best again. The scene in the train with Captain America and the twins was also nice, and so are some fights. Though, the film overall sucks. Is is a shame that Hollywood action movies are spending more and more in technology at expense of good screenplays. The films from the second phase of Marvel cinematic universe (this one, "Thor: the dark world" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" are awful, and I also include here "Avengers 1") are much worse (so poor stories! so focused only in visual effects!) than the ones made up to "Captain America: The first Avenger" (this one and "Iron Man" are particularly good).
