I think the run time is fine, but it's not evenly delegated throughout. For example, a lot of time is spent on establishing Hawkeye character and his family, but in the end when he "retires" and goes home, I didn't missed him at all, kinda glad he's gone to be honest.

I liked Hawkeye in the film actually. His scenes didn't really fit into the whole movie, but I just liked that he seemed the most grounded and normal person while everyong else was angsting.

Ultron and Vision were really characters. Lotsa potential, but so shoehorned.

Tony was pretty true to character compared to his recent comic appearances; a megalomaniac self-appointed world saviour and futurist that sees the earth is doomed unless he takes action by whatever means necessary.

Thor... had some dreams and stuff, then came back mumbling about infinity gems. Makes sense for us comic nerds, but probably completely lost on regular viewers. This seriously needed more explanation. I read somewhere they cut the explanation scenes in favour of Hawkeye's farm scene.

Black Widow & Hulk... meh, could have done without this, but I guess everyone needs equal screen time.

Cap... what did he do in the movie again?

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

From what I read, whedon had to cut a hour out of the film, and it showed in the final product.

I really liked Vision and Ultron, them along with the twins were my favorite part about the movie.

The infinity gems part, I understand. I just had no idea what that pool/pond was. I remember there's a shot in one of the trailers of a black woman entering said pond, but it didn't made into the movie. Maybe it'll show up in the longer cut.

I didn't mind Brutasha, though it made black widow seemed kinda desperate, and hulk kinda unlikable.

Cap spend a portion of his screen time wearing the hell out of some ridiculously tight t-shirts, not that I'm complaining. The rest of the movie he was seen in action scenes and delivering some... dialogue. He'll get to shine in his own movie next year, I hope.

Yes. Most enjoyment at the theater I've had since Guardians of the Galaxy.

Yeah, definitely worth the ticket price. I'm not sure I can see it again, at least not for a while. The movie was an assault. I'm sure I missed stuff, though.

Hahaha and I thought I was excited about Mad Max!!
(still haven't seen it! :()

But, just to get in the mood, I've started watching the old ones again. Man, even though they are very rough (they definitely haven't age ALL that well), they just have that "it" factor, the attraction! Hopefully I'll see this new one this week!

Chris Stuckmann hinted at an electric guitar that breathes fire. Jimmy Hendrix would want to see that. My inner metal-head has to see that. '"An electric guitar that breathes fire", now repeat the sentence and try telling me that is not awesome.

I have to see this film and Kung Fury. After that back to non-film life...

Yes, the best movie experience this year so far. The action sequences were amazingly intense and well done.

Predestination 7.5/10

Predictable science-fiction that lays it on a bit thick (it's an adaption of a short story), but it's very well acted. Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snooke (who I'd only previously seen in the VOD-fodder Jessebelle) are simply captivating.

Kung Fury - 2015

Best retro 80ties action movie in an half format that has as much entertainment value as the original Die Hard and Cobra films with plenty of Mortal Kombat action to justify creating the "finish him" drinking game. Too awesome for words.

No rating is good enough for this movie. All you can wish for is to ride a T-Rex all day. I have to have this on DVD.
