Ambitious but cheesy

Rating: 5/10 (3 April 2016)

The Avengers was a fantastic movie in so many ways. This, its sequel, tried too hard and its character development in dialogue was too thin, much like X-men 3.
Some deleted scenes, even as minor as the 4-5 seconds that were cut, did a lot to explain some gaping plot holes. Some of the virtuous-boy-next-door lines by the stars seemed more appropriate for a group called The Partridge Family and not a group of lethal outcasts banding together to wage war and calling themselves The Avengers.
Special effects were nice, and certain fight scenes were nice. This film is not bad. But this film lacks substance.
