Liked the first one more.....disappointed.

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2015)

Lets start with all the good things, all the treats that this movie brought us because no doubts there are plenty of them. Stark tries to jump start a peacekeeping mission and something unexpected happened and now avengers have to deal with it.
Movie starts with a bang. Avengers are all set for a mission and they are jumping their and dodging this and all that and 'the twins' are introduced. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver played by Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor Johnson respectively.
I must say this new addition is really exciting, not only in this movie, but i am waiting for more involvement of them in future avenger projects, despite of such an enormous star cast.
Now one by one let us talk about the director and the actors. Joss Whedon, he is a genius, or was, i don't know, all i know is i liked Firefly very much and this movie, i don't think it can compete with that, but what i was disappointed to see that as the movie proceeds it executes a very good story, also long, in a very easy going way. It does not have any of that charm that the first installment had. Also there are too many one liners, you know those sarcastic dialogues given to the actors (mostly to Downey Jr.) where they expect small laughs from the audience. I mean they were good in the first one but really used here over the limit. But no problem with the direction business. Its just when i hear Joss Whedon, i think of something that is perfect for me, this movie isn't.
Now Robert Downey Jr. is again in his best form, nobody can deny that when he is there, only he is there. The story around iron man is not so exciting though.
Chris Evan made an impression. There was a small portion about Captain America's past and his choices for his present, that i liked very much.
Mark Ruffalo seemed tired, mainly because he turned green for a long time in this movie, but his screen sharing with Scarlet Johansson was okay. Scarlet was sexy as always with some really great action moves.
Chris Hemsworth has some important part to play with which he did justice.
Jeremy Renner was really looking good when standing with all those superheroes, i mean in the first he was almost insignificant.
Elizabeth and Quicksilver were good, but their role was too small, they almost weren't looking that special, nor was Paul Bettany, i am a huge fan by the way, but seeing his suddenly appearing as a very important character felt forced.
The movie was good, i gave it 8 right, but the thing is i gave the previous Avengers a 9. I missed the thrill that was there all the time in that film, maybe because it was a new concept and now when this is a follow up, it isn't looking so exciting.
