Joss Whedon, I hope you're happy

Rating: 1/10 (6 May 2015)

This movie is what's wrong with Hollywood, It's overlong, pretentious, terribly paced, has one of the cheesiest openings that I've ever seen in a blockbuster with every hero mugging for the camera while they charge into battle, and is probably the most over hyped blockbuster ever made. This is coming from someone who loved the first movie. This movie seemed like it was cut from a cookie mold and sold to the masses as if it were some sort of "hip new age drug" when all it manages to do is make me feel embarrassed for everyone involved.
This is probably my least favorite blockbuster of all time, I wish I could go back in time and warn my previous self to never watch this pile of garbage. I regret paying for this movie on opening night more so than paying to watch Wild Wild West, and I even got a public apology from the main actor of THAT movie for going to see it!
This movie is a complete mess and a waste of time. You can argue all you want and troll all you want, but deep down inside you truly know this movie is utter drivel and nonsense. This movie doesn't even seem like it was made by the people involved with the first. The jokes are terrible and there are so many, which the first didn't suffer from, the main villain was a joke, Every hero tries to get the same amount of screen time almost like they're fighting over who gets to mug the camera more, and to top it all off we have the egos of Chris Hemsworth and other actors to cope with.
I get that Winter Soldier and Thor: The Dark World were big hits in theaters, but to me they reeked of what this movie has to offer. In fact those movies remind me of this movie so much that I had to look back at the main door to make sure I wasn't in the wrong movie a couple of times. If this is what passes for entertainment nowadays, then I fear for what's going to be passed off to us in the next couple years to come. Hopefully the DCU movies will stray away from this type of formula and come up with something original, but I don't see that happening.
This is what happens when a children's company buys your IP and decides to run it into the ground Marvel! Do you not remember the amazing mess of The Weekenders meets Spiderman from your Ultimate Spiderman cartoon. In fact with the jokes happening and cutting to other heroes who was to mug the camera, this movie reminds me a lot of The Weekenders. So basically you did it to two of your IP now....
All in all, if you want to turn your brain off and come out of the theater like you just pounded back a 40 of liquor.. Then this movie I suppose is for you? But if you want something more out of the movies you watch, then don't waste your time with this nonsense. I'm ashamed to have seen this movie and I feel bad for Joss Whedon because I know he's capable of so much more. Just had to sell out to Hollywood didn't you Joss?
