Avengers Age of Whatevs

[Tonker]

Absolutely, completely, utterly what you would expect from an Avengers movie: big, loud, brash, big, hokey, cheesy, predictable, big, funny, preachy, spectacular and above all, big.  Everything is turned up to eleven and that's just as it should be.  Some of the fight scenes are shot so much like a music video - with the shot changing every second or so - that it's hard to keep up sometimes but actually, it turns out that keeping up isn't necessary anyway.  Much like with the first "Thor" movie, the 3D was completely immaterial: I barely noticed it was even there, although that might just be a reflection of how blasé I've become about the technology already.  All in all, though, the film was never boring and I enjoyed it really quite a lot.

The next lot of Avengers look like a load of fucking pussies, though.

It's fine.  I liked it a little less than Tonks. These movies are like Bond movies: They are as good as the villains. Ultron was kind of meh.  Actually, Scarlet Witch was a bigger emotional foil.  For a while.

I don't think I've ever had a movie fit my expectations so perfectly, for good and bad. It was perfectly acceptable.
