It had its hokey moments and the beginning they sacrificed some CGI money for the end,but it was fricking awesome.

Wasnt just the beginning, there were bad spots throughout the movie. With the budget they can command, there is no excuse for bad CGI. This movie is guaranteed $1.4 Billion in revenue at a minimum. No excuse.

The main theme on this board and with my friends is that Winter Soldier is the best Mcu to date. I completely disagree.

Maybe I'll have to watch WS again but it didn't blow me away or anything.

I do feel WS is the best movie still. I enjoy the tone of GotG and AoU, but WS is a better overall movie than both. AoU literally had 0 tension, one of the problems with everyone knowing such long term plans. GotG being a more unknown property gave it a lot more.

My rank is 1) WS 2) GotG 3) AoU 4) Avengers 5) Ironman

Fantastic mix of comedy and action. Hulk finally coming into controlling his powers was awesome. Vision was awesome. The lines between CA and IM are clearly taking shape.

All of this. Loved the comedy, and as I said before that is an accurate portrayal of highly trained teams who trust each other in tense situations.

Spader owned Ultron. I thought they nailed the whole movie.

Yes he did, loved the Stark-isms he had in the character. I thought the CGI on him was kind of rough, and the character itself was not compliment to the comics. He never felt like a high level villain. Didnt help the lack of tension. I know why he wasnt killing civilians(to buy time by not hyper motivating the Avengers), but it might have been a better movie if more humans died, if that makes sense. More skin in the game as it were.


Edit: Any thoughts on my diatribe regarding the AI in the scepter?
