re: Avenger: AoU Reviews (**MAJOR SPOILERS**)

I really enjoyed this one, even more so than the first. The story dragged at parts with Ultron's motives and such (felt like they could've tightened it), but the new characters and all the potential storylines they're introducing (Black Panther! Civil War! Infinity War!) had me hooked throughout.

Even though comics are notoriously cheesy with one-liners, I thought they went a bit too overboard with them here. Don't get me wrong, some were great, but they could've toned it down. The movie theater I was in sounded like we were taping a sitcom at times.

I'm a big Quicksilver (he's gotta be coming back) and Scarlet Witch fan, so it was cool to see them get some love in a major movie. Hope they are fixtures down the road.

Vision was the best part of the movie. Geeked out hard during his "creation."

And ScarJo just melted me in almost every scene she was in. That bar conversation with Banner? MAAAAAAAAAAAAN.

In the end, I consider this one my second or third-favorite MCU film so far, behind Winter Soldier and either ahead or tied with Guardians. Grade: 8/10.

ETA: I'm just a big Marvel fanboy in general, so take everything I just said FWIW.
