Ok so first off the bat.. I'm not a big fan of superhero films.. I've enjoyed a few but I'm no fanboy.
Seeing men in tights with big letters on their chests just doesn't do it for me.
But I do like Batman Begins as an example of some guy in tights still been a good film.. I like gritty and a little dark my super heros.
I liked some of the X-Men franchise. (I,II, Future Past..) These were sometimes intelligent and interesting.
Sadly to me the whole Avengers franchise has felt like a dumbed down version of the X-Men films..
It's basically a lot of ego centric stereotypes wise cracking at each other and showing off..
Sadly that's what I got from watching this. The first hour was terrible. Spoilers potentially! It gets better in the second half for a while. The actors show some emotion! Wow.. some years are shed. The wooden acting still shines through however.. I mean I'm surprised at the high ratings for this film. It seems like everyone a just forgiven the huge plot holes, poor acting and unnatural script writing and ultra predictable stereotypes .. and everything that's bland and wrong with this film... Because... It cost a boat load of money? Has a lot of secrecy around the ending(s)? I actually stopped watching with about 30 mins left.. after the big battle where everyone is thrown together to fight off this guy who by that time we don't even care what happens to him anymore anyway.. it's all just a big mess if you ask me. I really don't get it. So many plot holes and WTF moments? It's just all so wooden.. Like Guardians of the Galaxy but less funny, fun or relatable. The CGI was disappointing. The hulk character had no life in him.. and neither did the actors sadly. Half of the planets population is wiped out by badguy. Avengers just sit around and wise crack at each other like it's just another day and another baddie to get.?! It's just silly. So so silly.
