Age of overabundant unfunny one-liners-Tron

Rating: 3/10 (26 April 2015)

This movie begins with a huge action sequence that involves all of the main hero characters. This sequence sees them blow up tanks and people as they attack an enemy base. Every three seconds, someone cracks something resembling a ---joke?----lest we forget that a real joke involves something done/said that was, in some way, funny. One-liner jokes require a proper timeline and space within a dramatic/satirical context for them to be effectively funny. They require acute direction/writing to generate genuine laughter from the audience. Instead, we get an unfunny "line", being recited by an unfunny person, to an audience that forces itself to laugh, because they think they are supposed to. How many silly unfunny one-liners can you jam into an over-played over-indulgent opening action sequence? Watch...Age of Ultron..(lol)....to find out! The downfall of this movie lies specifically on the director/writer. Who, for some reason, tried to cram an entire movies- worth of action and one-liners into the opening 3 minutes of a movie. The most salient problems in this movie are: it's not funny; it's totally over-indulgent; the characters lack cohesion etc. I pity the person who walks into this movie hoping for anything more than surface-level 3d effects.
