First time I clicked on this thread and that's what I saw. That's some rotten luck right there.
I guess I should have known better. Off until next week gang!
I'm pretty critical of excessive spoiler phobia. But that, yikes.
Uh how about no. I would like to be able to discuss an upcoming movie without getting spoilers thrown in my face.
I thought it was fun, not very different from the 1st one in terms of the structure of the movie and the action/comedy mix, but I enjoyed the final act more this time around and Ultron, while not that interesting from a personality and goals standpoint, was well voiced and had a good presence. It's all slightly formulaic but when the characters are well written I don't really mind. Glad I didn't see it in 3D though, some of the action was hard to follow even in 2D.
In an ideal world you wouldn't have to worry about it but as it stands that stuff just happens. Especially when there is a spoiler thread as well and people accidentally post in the wrong one. So if you really want to make sure that you'll avoid spoilers then don't even look at the non spoiler thread.

Yeah, its the worst.
A guy posts a pretty major uncensored spoiler in the non-spoiler thread. It's not overreacting to be annoyed.
"Spoiler culture", really. There's now a culture around "not wanting to know the ending of the movie in advance"?

You should have asked your question in the spoiler thread. That is what it is there for. That was bound to happen when people keep asking about things in the movie.
The answer to my question is not what the umbrage is about.
Easy for you to say since you've watched it already. And apparently you cared enough to spoiler mark your own impressions too, so there must be some empathy down inside you that understands why people dislike getting spoiled.

True, but still... A lot of people in here keep asking about specific things in the movie, and this was bound to happen. Not that I really care though.
You can do whatever you want, I'm just saying there will always be the possibility of spoilers getting loose especially when 1.) the movie is out 2.) people keep asking for spoilers and impressions from people who've seen the movie 3.) both the non-spoiler thread and spoiler thread are on the same OT page. If you are sensitive to a spoiler like "these dudes do this" without any context to what lead to the action or what happens after then just avoid these threads.
The spoiler in question was an unsolicited opinion on
a major character death.
Nothing to do with "dudes do this."
Completely missed that. Carry on.

I just wanted to see basic impressions on a movie I've been highly anticipating without major plot elements thrown in my face. Fuck me, right?

At least you can talk. Who are you?
I've already read people on Twitter saying we shouldn't praise Joss for this film and his "white feminism". There's already a buttload of complaints about how white it is, plus very little PoC and female representation.
edit: thanks to the mod who cleared up the spoilers on the last page. Can we move on now?
No one will criticise this movie for lacking people of different colour or culture, I'll tell you this now.

Yeah, so? What does it being a comic book movie have to do with the fact that people don't want the ending spoiled for them?

oh come on man..there is no doubt their will be criticism for lack of 'PoC...I remember alot of criticism for the 1st avengers about that as well
i don't think the criticism will factor how good or bad the movie is..but their is no doubt we will see articles about it following the movie's release
You haven't seen it, I have. I'm telling you, it won't happen.
Edit: Ok if it happens then these people clearly haven't watched the movie properly, the events that happen in this movie and I won't say anymore for fear of spoilers.

No, i did it because people dislike getting spoiled, not because i necessarily understand why.

I don't mind spoilers, hell I actively seek them out for The Walking Dead, but you seriously don't understand why people don't like getting spoiled?
LOL, so true.

Good video although I have never been in a theatre when any more than a few people (usually parents and children) have left before the mid/end of credits scene.

Damn. Film was really good! Great characters, fun action and neat surprises. Ultron was a little bit of a letdown, but I still enjoyed his scenes. Hawkeye was great, the character development we've all been waiting for.
As for spotty CGI talk that's going around, it isn't really that noticeable... At least, not for me.

Did you do 3D? I wouldn't say it was hugely noticeable but you could tell there was a bit of a difference from the opening sequence and rest of the film.
As in the opening looks better than the rest of the movie, or other way around?

2D. Screen was pretty big, which may have made me not notice the dodgy CGI. Thor did seem a little floaty in the opening sequence and Hulk was a little off, but that's all I noticed really.
I believe people now think of "any CGI you know is CGI at any time" as "bad CGI".

I'm sure Ultron will be fine when I watch him, but man was I hoping Whedon would've just stop STOP with the fucking jokes.
Ultron was the one character who didn't need it. He should've been outright vicious and terrifying.

Other way around. It's not exactly "omg this is terrible" but you could tell.
I thought the same about Hulk at the start and where Cap throws his motorcycle. Hulk was fine for the rest though, weird.

Cap throwing the bike was a little off because of the physics, but it was still awesome. I had such a big stupid grin throughout so many scenes.

Or if you notice a CGI then its bad. Its like acting, you won't notice it when its pulled off very well.
By that logic 99% of special effects, including practical effects, are bad.

I'm not saying the stuff that you KNOW is CGI, I'm saying the stuff that looks odd and out of place in the real world. But yes I prefer 100% authentic real world action without any CGI, obviously not possible in a superhero movie though.
