I watched the new Avengers movie this weekend. It was pretty good, particularly in that it may have felt like a bloated mess in the hands of a lesser director. There were a few things I had problems with, though…
-Why did Ultron have moving lips? Whenever he was onscreen, those lips were all I could focus on. And I don’t mean just a mechanical jaw going up and down; he had fully articulated lips! Also, the dance sequence with Ultron and all his little Ultrons during the end credits was a bit off to me, tone-wise.
-Also, I don’t think Eric Stoltz was the right move for Ultron’s voice.
-Jeremy Renner is about as uncharismatic as actors come. I was glad to see the heavy focus on his character’s background and home life was setting us up for his death. Good riddance!
-This movie’s version of Quiksilver is so much lamer than the one in X-Men: Age of Apokalips.
-The accents of the two new actors were annoying as hell. I can do a way better Sekovian accent, and I’m not even from there!
-Why was the Hulk purple in this one?
-I’m a little bored with Loki. This is, what, his fifth movie appearance? Come on, Marvel, there are so many awesome villains you could be using, like, I don’t know, the Joker???
-When is Iron Man going to finally get it on with the Terrence Howard character? I feel like they have been building up to that for a long time now, and I’m ready for the pay off. Especially with that show Empire Records being such a big hit, you’d think they’d want to find a way to give that character more screen time.
-Has Paul Bettany always been the voice of Alfred? I feel like it used to be someone different.
All in all, though, a pretty good movie. Nicely paced, snappy dialogue, and, like I said, it miraculously manages to introduce a ton of new characters without feeling bloated. It just goes to show you, in the hands of a good director, you can do the impossible!
Well excuse you, why wouldn’t Ultron have fully articulated lips? Don’t tell me you’ve never wanted to land a big wet smacker on the metalhead.

I also focused on the lips, I thought at first that it was damaged and his mouth didn’t quite fit together correctly but then I realized he had lips and teeth. not a problem with the movie just a strange choice.
also I think the bra on the black widow’s iron man (iron lady? iron widow) suit was a bit much.

Daniel Fowler I know, right?? Why does her Iron Widow suit even need boobs? Ugh…and I thought Joss Stone was supposed to be great at female characters.

“you know I have always supported your avenging” – very awkward line, don’t you think? could have said “your job” or “your work” but avenging? avenger-ing? avenge-en-ing?
forgive me for being a pathetic excuse for a comic book nerd but who is avenging what? Just a cool name?
Gauntleting? Gauntleteering?

I’m confused on Hawkeye having a wife and kids as he and Black Widow are an inseparable item? I could be wrong?

Not feeling how Banner and Stark created Ultron as any comic book nerd of Marvel knows this is Antman’s creation! Let give credit were it is due!?!?
