Come on Hollywood give us something better

Rating: 4/10 (28 April 2013)

At first I thought, hmm interesting what a nice change of direction, a mixture of a love rivalry in he brilliant form of guy Pearce, and a past from one of the many mistakes he's surly made from his drunken pre-pepper Lothario days, coming back to haunt him in more than one way than another.
that is until after the first public bombing, where tension and hist-aria could obviously build reverts and suddenly its just as if the writing staff were wiped out in the bombing, a new team took a collective unmistakable sigh at new orders, and everything takes a massive step into the predictable, special effects bonanza for the unthinking masses, where the bad guy has more in common with a t1000, or scorpion from mortal combat than man and reality, but its not just that, there is just no continuity with the bad guys where 1 shot kills an infused character, yet you get another who goes on limbless forever.
They could have done something brilliant here which could have rejuvenated the series, where the good guy doesn't always win, it could have helped shape countless future story lines, and done something intelligent for a change and helped state a fact that life is not just black and white, it try's to do too much, in too little time, and its a worser movie for it.
The biggest surprise is the lack of humor that was a stablemate of the series it's not funny in avengers style, it's not funny period, the only real joke is after the credits, an thats only an in-joke for people who have followed the series.
when is Hollywood going to realize we need something more than a half baked idea, I challenge any executive board and say a script like this isn't just not good enough any more and send it back for more for much need work.
I know it's an action movie, i know its a marvel, but should it be so hard to have a real, intelligent story line for a change, whilst wavy in a lot of places the avengers is a shining example of what is possible and prove that action movies can once again win awards for something other than special effects, you go into this movie expecting to be entertained, but sadly the only thing you come out with is feeling numb, even by Marvell arc standards this is poor relation. That doesn't deserve the praise it's getting. Please save your money, see it in 2d
