Speaking of opinions that hold no weight...
 
I'd prefer for the movie to have too much going for it than not enough. If that's the only negative thing about Avengers 2...then we're in great shape.

Can't wait for May 1st brehs...

*insert Bart Scott GIF with Ultron as the interviewer*
 
I read non spoiler reviews and the gripe is gripe is that it's basically just setting up the future more than anything. I just don't see how that's a gripe.

I can understand what they mean. It sounds more or less like the AoU story itself doesn't seem all that important and is more or less overshadowed by the things that we know are coming. One reviewer described it pretty well by saying the movie felt like one really long episode of a TV series moreseo than a standalone blockbuster movie.
 
Honestly, "critics" have to find something to critique or else...why are they needed? That's just called "keeping your job 101". And of course because we all know there are fifty 'leven Marvel movies already announced through the end of the decade, they are going go with the easy, safe criticism.

I wouldn't zero in on the handful of negative reviews. The movie is getting overwhelmingly positive reviews in general. 80+ on RT is nothing to be disappointed with at all.

I haven't even seen the movie and I've been saying the same thing.

Think about the last 5-6 months. Outside of the past few weeks, what have people been talking the most about? Civil War, Thanos, and Spiderman.

-We already know that no one significant will die so that takes out the danger element.

-We know Civil War will happen so the threat of Ultron really won't leave THAT many consequences if Cap and Tony can find time to bicker at each other for an entire movie.

-We know that Spider-Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, GOTG, and Inhumans are coming so there is no shortage of team building to look forward to.

My one concern this whole time is, with Loki sitting on the throne of Asgard and Thanos looking over the universe, how will this movie make us give a damn about an evil AI and his robot army? Shit will without a doubt get astronomically worse.

People said Iron Man 2 had too much going on and that was my favorite in the series. I just want a great movie and I'm sure this will deliver.
 
haven't read a spoiler or watched anything except for 2 trailers .

Not letting my experience getting spoiled.. I don't know SHIT about this movie lol

I don't understand why y'all would wanna read reviews, insider info, extra clips , etc

I cosign the bold. I don't think it's contradictory to say that there are obvious flaws going into this movie while also believing it will be a good movie.
 
‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Foreign Rollout Begins and Disney Projects $160 Million Weekend

marvel-avengers-age-of-ultron.jpg


Marvel’s superhero sequel will open in roughly 55 percent of its overseas markets this weekend ahead of May 1 debut in U.S.

“Avengers: The Age of Ultron” began its international rollout Wednesday, and Disney is projecting the Marvel superhero sequel will take in between $160 million and $175 million by the end of the weekend.

It is debuting in France and Italy on Wednesday, and in Korea, the U.K, Brazil, Australia, Russia, Germany and Argentina on Thursday. By the weekend, it will be in 55 percent of the foreign markets it will play in.

It rolls out in North America on May 1, and is expected to challenge the opening weekend record of $207.3 million set by the original “Avengers” in 2012. That one opened to $185 million overseas, with 37 markets tracked.

“Age of Ultron” could well challenge the record for the biggest worldwide opening on that May 1 weekend. The first “Avengers” took in $392 million globally on its first weekend globally. That’s the third-best ever, behind two “Harry Potter” movies — “Half Blood Prince ($394 million) and “Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($483 million)

Hope Adam McKay didnt alter the screenplay and script too much. Sure there had to be some big differences though if it made Wright leave entirely. I was really excited for Wright to direct Ant Man, was also bummed it wasnt going to be in the big marvel movieverse though.
 
South Korea Pays Marvel $3.6M To Make Sure It Looks Cool in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'

The South Korean government paid an eye-watering £2.4million to the makers of the new Avengers movie to ensure the country is shown in a positive light, it has emerged.

Much of the comic book film, Avengers: Age of Ultron, was shot in Seoul and the country's culture ministry agreed to cover a third of filming costs in the city on the agreement the Republic of Korea is shown as 'high tech' and 'modern'.

The use of public funds in what appears to be an extreme case of product placement has been criticised by South Koreans - as officials are having to wait with the rest of the world to see if the film, released on Thursday, will lift the country's reputation out of the shadow of it's headline-grabbing northern neighbour.

The move echoes that of Sony Pictures Entertainment and MGM, who recently made headlines after leaked emails revealed the Mexican government had offered the studios $20m to ensure a positive portrayal of the country in Spectre.

Kim Young-gun, who overseas the Korean Film Council's (KOFIC) incentive program for foreign films, said the film could transform the status of Seoul, which has been largely overlooked by Hollywood compared to its regional peers.

He told MailOnline: 'If we have that kind of huge film, which shows Korea in a more positive way, then we think the image of Korea will be changed in a positive way.'

In return, the country's culture ministry agreed to pay 30 percent of the cost of production in Seoul, about £2.4m. Only on Thursday will they know if it will boost the international image of the capital and make it as iconic abroad as Asian metropolises like Tokyo.

Kim said: 'KOFIC and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, also, are concerned about how they will portray Korea in the film, but we are looking forward to seeing the film on Thursday.'

KOFIC has estimated the sequel to the 2012 hit The Avengers, which features an all-star cast including Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jnr, could attract some 620,000 extra tourists to the country. The film has already sold 94 percent of its presale tickets.
