Comic books don't make good movies

Rating: 2/10 (23 May 2015)

I don't believe comic books make good movies. Production and direction were very good but there's just too many unbelievable and long fight scenes, melodrama, Stan Lee cameos, quips, deviation from the costumes and books. Formulaic? I could go on and nit pick the differences I've already listed and bring up even more faults (eg If Ultron had an "otherworldly" origin, why was his persona so hip?), but, in short, I was easily bored with this movie.
IMO, the very best comic book movie to date is Watchmen which had everything most current comic book movies - short fight scenes, built tension towards the end, accurate costumes, seeming "real" characters, etc...
I'm sure the young crowd will love this. As a 40+ y.o., no.
