Bad villains, flat sidekicks, no emotional depth

Rating: 1/10 (26 April 2015)

Let's compare this movie with X-men DOFP. We have Quicksilver in both, we have giant robots as enemies, we have fight within superhero group. All of this was done good in DOFO, and all was miss in AOU. Aside from that that in DOFP Quicksilver has much more better scenes, and that the way he moves is shown much better. In DOFP Quicksilver is a character. He likes some kind of music, he dresses in as he likes, he uses his powers in childish way (kleptomaniac), he plays with himself. What can you tell about Quicksilver in AOU? He has nice body, and hot sister. The reason why we do not feel anything when he dies is because we don't care for him. He's nobody. When agent Coulson dies in the Avengers, we feel something. Not because we like that guy. He's a menace. We hate him. But not in the way we want him to die. We care for him because he was so long with us. Because we remember who who is. We don't know who Quicksilver is. The other problem with Pietro and Wanda is that they are bad guys in the beginning of the movie. So why they couldn't stay bad for little longer, to make a real threat to our heroes? Because Marvel doesn't know what to do with bad guys. Baron von Strucker dies in the beginning of the movie without real reason. It reminds me of death of Count Dooku in Revenge of the Sith. And what about our main villain? He is not real threat to Avengers. Compare him to sentinels in DOFP and you will see how naive is he as a villain. By the way, why is the name of the movie Age of Ultron? Shouldn't it be Week of Ultron or something. In DOFP we watch our heroes die, some of them two times. And that deaths were horrible. In AOU we didn't even see Quicksilver dies. And now about fights within the team. Can you compare what is happening between Iron Man and Cap with the same thing between Magneto and Professor X? Hopefully we will see some blood in next year in Civil War. And that blood must be Caps. And he should stay dead. That is the only way for me to believe in these stories. That much is necessary to make believable these characters after so long avoiding tragedy. In addition, it is necessary because we will soon have Black Panther, Spiderman, Ant Man, Dr Strange etc. It is not possible just put more and more superheroes in movies. Marvel should think more about villains than about heroes. X-men have great villains – Magneto, William Sryker, Mystique, Sabetooth (the only good thing in that movie), sentinels etc. DC shared universe has already made one decent villain (better than all Marvels except Loki) and now with rebooted Lex and Joker, with big screen debut of Harely Queen, Deadshot and a bunch of lesser known villains DC will take back the throne of best superhero franchise from Marvel. Marvel is preparing for duel with Batman v Superman. That's the reason for Civil War. But Marvel is constantly forgetting that DC beats them with villains, and I don't see any villain in that movie, while DC is still hiding their true intentions with that movie. At the end of AOU we see new Avengers – the bunch of sidekicks and minor heroes we don't care for. Probably they are here only to be ready for Civil War. So make them count this time.
The best moments of the movie are: 1.Iron Man vs. Hulk – with exception Thor and Loki, the only two characters with real chemistry in MCU: "You are stronger than her, you are smarter than her, you are Bruce Banner." 2. Vision vealing Thores hammer . 3. First fight scene.
