Call me crazy but I absolutely loved I. Almost wish it was 30 mins longer to flush ou more of Ultron, Vision, etc. Incredible!!!!


I loved it to, I thought it was better than the first, though it did have a few niggly things. I also thought the Avengers Quicksilver was done way better than the X-Men one.

But it there is a 3 and a half hour version out there (rumour) and they showed that now I would be straight back to see it.

I do agree with some of the criticism though, the Black Widow/Hulk romance, how Ultron was created (though I dont mind it being Tony, I would have rather they kept it with Hank Pym). 

Two entirely different takes on a fun character. The MCU version was far more developed and relevant to the overall plot and development of the other characters, but the Fox version was a lot more fun with one of the most memorable scenes in DoFP.

There was a lot of friction/dissent between Wheedon and Marvel Studios when it came to the editing process; I can understand the need to streamline things for theatrical audiences, but I do look forward to seeing what was cut out in the interest of time in the BD release. 

As for Ultron, I totally understand why they went with the direction they chose; Hank Pym hadn't been introduced and Stark was already on track to developing his own vision of a secure future for humanity going back to Iron Man 3. With Pym, writers would have had to dump a lot of new information on viewers as they introduced a vital new character to the MCU. And this is why we have Scott Lang as Ant-Man rather than Pym.
