I fell asleep twice.

 

[CloudWolf]

I knew it. If it's good, it must've been because of Wright! No way that Peyton Reed did it.

Well, to be fair, Wright has a certain style that's instantly recognizable. So saying 'this feels like a Wright movie' actually has some merit. For instance, that scene with the Thomas train in the trailer felt like something Wright would do (and it's probably one of the things from the old script that they kept around).

 

[d00d3n]

Kevin Feige can do no wrong.

 

[Red Arremer]

I just came to the sad realisation that the only Marvel Studio films I've missed in cinemas have been Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk.

You saved yourself some money there. Not worth the 10 quid to go to see in the cinema, if you ask me.
They're not rubbish, but if you can see them on DVD or Netflix or something, do that instead.

 

[NotLiquid]

All sounds good so far. Considering the rock bottom expectations I think most people had, the general consensus so far being "positive" is a good sign.

Also I liked Ultron and think its in some parts a better movie than Avengers 1. Better highs, lower lows but also not really "as memorable" as the first one in terms of iconic moments and such, which let's face it, it was never going to beat.

 

[Real Hero]

It's a marvel movie. It will be fine but have the distinct feel of a film made on a fast moving production line

 

[kewlmyc]

So why are people going to be eating crow again? A few tweets with mixed opinions?

 

[Gambit 1138]

While others say it's not bad as it is forgettable, I think it's just bad:

- Doesn't even try to be a film that glues Phase 2 together
- Invalidates every film to come before it
- Some films have plot holes, but this film has PLOT HOLES that are not even explained at all beyond "this needs to happen"
- Characters are just in this film because it's an Avengers film

My biggest issue with the film is that they turned Ultron from a serious villain into a joke with a really strange personality. He wasn't menacing or interesting at all and why would a cold robot be trying to crack jokes every few minutes? Also before some people say well he's based on Starks personality not really because

Spoiler

Stark found the Ultron A.I. in the Hydra lab so it was already created (and they never explained where it came from) and then it merged with Jarvis who's personality is nothing like Stark's

 

[cacildo]

I'll still be seeing this as I like Paul Rudd, but I've learnt never to take post film screening tweets from critics seriously. Especially for comic movies.

Yep

We all remember what happened at The Amazing Spiderman 2

 

[Nibel]

My fear is that this will feel like another filler movie just like AoU did.

 

[kiguel182]

Probably won't see it in the theatre just because of the whole Wright thing but glad is good then. I'll catch it on Netflix or something.

 

[ShemhazaiX]

Hmm. All this is making me want to do is just go watch Role Models and my Paul Rudd fix on.

 

[Peru]

Initial response always positive. Even for POS Avengers. And we even got a negative one here.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Initial response always positive.

Not really.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Paul Rudd is bland.
Still, he's the reason I'm going on opening night. He fits the part and looks like what I pictured Ant Man to look like.
Paul Rudd.
PaulRudd.

 

[alexandros]

I'm always excited for Marvel movies, now I'm even more. Too bad it's coming Sept in Greece.

What!? Boo!

 

[WordAssassin]

Someone's leaked the end credit scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEC_lkpD3rM

OMG I love you

 

[N7Commander95]

Not really.

Uhhh yeah they generally are. Even for films like the Amazing Spiderman 2, the original reactions were pretty dam outside.

The fact that some of the tweets are negative is interesting

 

[MarkMclovin]

I like the comparisons to Oceans 11.

Thats it then, I'm on media blackout until it comes out.

 

[6.8]

Wow at leaked end scene. Awesome.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Sweet..another Edgar Wright thread..

 

[Fathom]

Impressions from official screenings like this are indeed always positive. For there to be one bad review here is actually way outside the norm.

 

[enzo_gt]

Mixed reactions? Gonna be great!

 

[Lashley]

Hyped as hell for it

 

[danielcw]

Yep

We all remember what happened at The Amazing Spiderman 2

What happend?

 

[Number_6]

Ocean's Eleven referenced. We will all laugh when we discover they actually meant Ocean's Thirteen.

Better than Twelve.

 

[Skinny Pete]

Bobby Canavale and Michael Pena def have me interested. Both great actors.

 

[Messypandas]

Better than Twelve.

Everythings better than Twelve.

 

[Servbot24]

Not exactly. While it wasn't GotG or Winter Soldier good, AoU was by no means a bad movie.

It's definitely riding the line between "eh, it was fun" and "ok that was flat out bad".

 

[Magwik]

What happend?

Always wait for the reviews and not the early reactions. Every movie will get glowing first reactions.

 

[BronsonLee]

Someone's leaked the end credit scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEC_lkpD3rM

I know what this is and I don't even gotta click the damn thing.

This gag will never get old.

 

[Acidote]

Better than Twelve.

I didn't want to go that far. The only thing I like from that movie is the laser dance, and I think it's because of the song they chose.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Get ready GAF

I got the hot sauce ready.

 

[Sou Da]

I was hoping for some of this. It really says how bad the advertising is though, they REALLY should have played this up more as heist movie in the trailers.

 

[The Real Napsta]

Waitin' on ya to slip, Marvel

Iron man 3

 

[Jarmel]

If the movie is bad, do the 'haters' get to create a crow thread instead?

 

[rrc1594]

Iron man 3

Iron Man 3 was awesome

 

[Sou Da]

If the movie is bad, do the 'haters' get to create a crow thread instead?

That's what a Rottenwatch thread is for, they go both ways.

 

[mrklaw]

Iron Man 3 was awesome

Iron man 3 was Age of Ultron. Infinite number of random flying robots, each equipped with plot armour and none of which you give a shit about.

 

[Fuu]

Marketing-wise and "MCU-wise" this movie is in a really awkward place. I hope it's fun, although I'm not sure if I'll be watching it at the cinema.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Iron man 3 was Age of Ultron. Infinite number of random flying robots, each equipped with plot armour and none of which you give a shit about.

I don't even know what this means. The suits flying around and blowing shit up was like one small part of the movie.

 

[T Dollarz]

Age of Ultron was pretty bad, but Jurassic World made it seem ok

 

[kris.]

These Ocean's 11 comparisons have got me hype as fuck. I'm in day one.

edit:
"Ant Man is great. Way better than Age of Ultron. @edgarwright deserves co-director credit. Feels like his movie"

If this has an Edgar Wright feel to it oh godddddddddddd

 

[MIMIC]

I will see anything Paul Rudd is in.

DAY 1 (or 2, lol)

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

"Marvel Ocean's Eleven" actually... has me curious. I love heist flicks.

Same. 11 is one of my favorite movies.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Who thought this movie was going to be a disaster? I've been hyped for it for a while, especially since the Ant-Man book has been coming out by Nick Spencer, yo read that shit.

 

[jon bones]

i really, really want to watch this

 

[Vanish]

Day 1. My most hyped movie for the rest of the year.

 

[h1nch]

Paul Rudd being in this means that we'll get to see him go on Conan and show that terrible clip of Mac and Me like he always does.

 

[cyba89]

What's up with MarvelGAFs obsession with crows? There is nothing wrong with having expectations that might differ from the final product.
