Movies: Age of Ultron and The Death of Charlie Countryman

Spoilers under the cut.


So Age of Ultron felt very assembly line for Whedon. Like ticking off boxes-setup for Black Panther, new heroes introduced, romance which no one needed(i.e Bruce and Nat-oh noes), boring villian. Elizabeth Olsen can act and that really showed ScarJo's limitations-the emotional stuff fell flat whereas I believe in her as an assassin.
Natasha saying she's a monster cause she can't have kids-oh lord no. Don't do that.
Quicksilver had nothing on the X-men version, but Vision was nicely done.
Nice Cap-Tony stuff, Hawkeye's stuff was dull by comparison.
Nice special effects-but the first Avengers movie was better. I understand Whedon wanting to leave to do other stuff.

The other movie had Mads Mikkelsen being beautiful and deadly, oh I wanted more of that. Well, at least he beat up Shia LeBeouf a lot.
Melissa Leo was a cameo of the hero's dead mom-boo.
So our hero goes to Bucharest after his mom's death and some dude on the plane dies. So he romaces dead dude's daughter-as you do. But she's married to a gangster-guess who? Who she calls the most beautiful man she has ever seen. Yeah. Shia has nothing on that. That's my version and I'm sticking to it.
