More of a hit than a miss!

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2015)

This is one of those movies that actually met my expectations. It's probably the best action movie of 2015 so far. And when I say action for this movie, there is LOTS and LOTS of action. I can't say it's the best superheroes movie so far, but it takes the cake when it comes to the most action sequences so far. Joss Whedon really wanted to deliver to the comic book fans the super action piled upon action superheroes experience. Plus this probably has the biggest budget for a superheroes movie so far, so for the most part it delivers. Although the action sort of feels tiresome after a while, since like I said it's action after action. Without it giving a breather, except that very slow moving middle section. Tony Stark/Iron Man is once again the main main character this time around once again. Not in the level of Wolverine to the X-Men but most of the story revolves around him. Even if there is a reason for that, it goes in a direction where he is the key player. While Captain America seemed to not have that many good parts as the leader and the master tactitician of the team. Instead Joss Whedon takes some pokes at him a bit. I don't like to come up with assumptions, but I guess that has to do with the fact that Cap is a Christian and Tony is an atheist. Plus Tony has that enticing and flashy image going for him, which is a super plus when it comes to the media. And no I am not a fan of Captain America, although I want him to win in the Civil War movie against Iron Man. I think Joss Whedon did the best he could to give each team members a bit of screen time and few moments to shine. There is a lot of grandscale action sequences but like I said it gets tiresome after a while, most of the audience in the theater seemed numb after a while. When it comes to fights though, I personally thought Hulk vs. Hulkbuster was the highlight. It really wasn't a necessary fight and the plot could have moved along without it. But I can't complain because it was just badass. The action sequences does seem to have some editing problems when the action gets too chaotic. The plot was hit and miss with it mostly being a hit. Going in a slightly more complex direction may seem like a good idea, but it doesn't really work this time around because at it's core it's still a very simple story. The plot is basically by the numbers and didn't seem to flow very naturally, but that is only a very small gripe. There was this one part where the Korean audiences geeked out. The thing about Korean audiences is that they are usually very respectful and mostly very quite during an event, such as watching a movie. But they geeked out in one or two parts. Personally I like to go to a packed theater, where you can be in the moment and enjoy the reactions from other audiences. And I don't mean being rude, like constantly having a conversation or texting away (which is something you will not see amongst Korean audiences in theaters in Korea). But being able to enjoy the moment and show what appeals to our senses is one of the benefits of going to a theater in my opinion. Overall this will be one of the biggest and grandscale blockbuster popcorn flick for year 2015. So yeah, take some friends and family, have a blast. I will say that some of the cast is getting a bit old to play these parts in my opinion. With Captain America and Thor in the safe zone for now, but they are also the most vulnerable when it comes to playing these roles, because their physicality and image means everything for those characters. Not hating or anything, it's just the natural order of things. No one can stay on top forever.
