A good movie

I already saw this movie but since I just bought a brand new awesome TV, I thought I might as well check it out again. In fact, I remember fairly well the first time I saw the damned thing. Indeed, back then, like everyone else, I really wanted to check this massive blockbuster. Eventually, to be honest, even though it was fine, I can’t say that it was really amazing though. I mean, with the previous installment, I didn't expect much but I was really surprised that it turned out to be so enjoyable. Well, this time, it was exactly the opposite, my expectations were actually pretty high but this movie didn’t really come near those expectations. The main issue, in my opinion, is that this mixing of 6 super-heros, without counting the huge supporting cast, was already showing its limitations. Sure, the first time around, it was something new and it was really impressive how they managed to give them all some space but, every time again, they have to give each one of them some sub-plot and the end-result was not entirely satisfaying. The most obvious example was the impossible romance between Bruce Banner and Natasha Romanoff. The worst thing was that this half-baked romance would then never show up ever again in the MCU. Then, they made amends with Jeremy Renner as the guy complained that he spent more than half of the previous installment as a zombie so they gave him a whole family with wife, kids, house and pets. But, at least, Hawkeye finally did get some deserved screen time. On the positive side, Ultron was a solid villain, even if his plan to kill all humanity was seriously derivative. Anyway, to conclude, it wasn't really impressive this time around but I have to admit that it was still fun and entertaining and really visually gorgeous to look at so it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
