A lazy compilation of half baked ideas put together, but still... lots of fun!

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2015)

1- The beginning - i get that they wanted to start the film with a big action sequence and i actually liked very much of the going through each character in battle, but like every action scene in this film i didn't like the camera shots, and while its fine action it looked too much like a video game, and the film should have started with each character being assembled again, following each character follow up to their individual films that had huge things happening, and that is completely ignored here, mainly iron mans 3 ending. 2- Ultron - Well tony's obsession with creating him goes pretty much against everything that happened in iron man 3 and he's so out of character. He had nightmares and panic attacks for creating demons as he said: it all starts with good intentions and then everything falls apart, and he destroyed every single creation of him so i really don't see why would he want to create such a problematic AI. Then he is created like in 2 minutes and suddenly he's bad, and has tony's Witt all of which i still don't know why since nothing his explained. For an AI he's very dumb and he makes no sense, his plan to achieve world peace is completely against all logic, he wants to wipe out every life form on earth so the humans can evolve?! It makes no sense. I don't like the fact that his lips moved when talking, hes a robot! its weird. 3- Hawkeye is a farmer?! Out of nowhere we learn that hes a farmer, and has a wife, 2 kids with 3 soon to be. This could be resolved with a wonderful writing but the way it was executed seems forced. 4- Hulk and Black widow! This was by far the worst thing in the film. She was completely out of character, and their love thing and plans for running away comes out so forced and so out of nowhere that i still don't know what the hell whedon was thinking. She was perfect in captain America 2 and had a wonderful relation with captain America something that gets ignored here much like in the 1st film with iron man. She gets reduced to a chick in a Rom com. 5- The vision - he was so awesome. But he was created in 2 minutes again, with no explanation or something. 6- Thor's side trip - what the hell was this? Well i still don't know since Thor disappeared for a very long time in the middle of the film, this was very weird, and weirder was his return. 7- The siblings - they are two very cool bad ass characters that have powers which make them easy to have very cool things to do. But no! They are completely wasted and useless, and appear like 10 minutes in the film and come out of nowhere like much in this film. Seeing what singer made with quicksilver with just a scene or two in days of future past, establishing him and getting me instantly hooked, here it's very disappointing. He just could do so much and then dies and i'm supposed to cry, he appeared like 5 minutes, so this comes out very flat. Also their development is ridiculous. They have some sort of vendetta against iron man so they join ultron only to find out hes bad! in 2 seconds and joining the avengers, and suddenly they forget about the vendetta with not even a talk with iron man and no one even asks when they appear in the avengers HQ since only captain knew they were good at that point. Also their idea of tearing apart the avengers with mind manipulation goes nowhere and it's so useless. 8 - Iron man vs the hulk - pretty cool but man of steel much? 9- The ending - Well if you've seen the 1st film this one is just the same thing, like the entire film! The avengers assemble, they argue against each other, they fight each other, they assemble again and then they beat an army in a city, This time its robots in a flying city, its a very cool visual, but is poorly executed and Then Ultron gets beaten the exact same way as Loki was, way too easily. Can we get some villain that actually fights as an equal instead of a cgi army that its only there so the avengers destroy them in every way possible?! And this not only is like iron man 2, iron man 3 but of course the avengers. 3 same endings! Thanos! Finally hes doing something! But he seemed so goofy that instead of fear i smiled. 10- Technical aspects - well the film looks cheesy, which is unforgivable for a 250 million plus film. The visual effects are murky and foggy or something, for most of the time i don't get whats happening with the cgi, the cinematography its terrible, and the score its like soup opera quality. This compared to captain America 2 and iron man 3 it's just a huge setback.
In conclusion though. the film still is fun to watch, despite the huge plot holes, the lack of originality or a vision, the terrible writing, the video game like action, the lack of drama, i mean i love the humor but there's no stakes no consequences its just like a video game. And characters make decisions that defy all logic! All seems like a compilation of half baked ideas put together with nothing to unite them. Some people say the film is too long well i think it should be 20 minutes longer so all the problems could be resolved. This should be marvel's next level but its just a lazy film and a ripoff of the 1st one, and its nothing but pure fun. Don't ask me why I'm giving a 7 to this, not even i know, but what the hell...
