"The Avengers" The battle of wheels staged by the assembly of heroes is still fresh in my memory. "Age of Ultron", as the sequel to the series, failed to break the curse of the subsequent weak movie. It is undeniable that this is still a well-made visual blockbuster, but the plan is weak, and the plot is too long and tired, just as weak as the villain Ultron.
Jos Weeden is a qualified popcorn director, but he does not have the ability to direct like Nolan. From the perspective of positioning, "Reunion 2" is more difficult to become "Dark Knight", but the director is always thinking How to make the theme of a popcorn entertainment film become heavy and dark, and the structure built with multiple languages and dramas has changed the hearty, one-stop look and feel of "Reunion", the plot advances slowly, and the character creation is rare. , But still thinking about how to embed the thread for the many possibilities of Marvel's sequel. Such an approach made "Avengers 2" neither continue the passion and blood in 1 but also failed to lay a good job for the next sequel. The foundation, as a transitional film, has no way of positioning one's own style, and is greedy and arrogant.
The change in style did not give a surprise in the plot. "Avengers 2" seemed so powerless from the layout. Perhaps this is why it is necessary to install a dark shadow of the soul for every hero, together with "Avengers". The mode of combining, dividing and combining, and the irreversible justice ending, put aside the so-called fog of the character’s soul. In fact, the script of "Reunion 2" is completely perfunctory, and the only thing that can make the movie support is from time to time. The Hollywood-style laughter and the pile of money-burning scene special effects, from the beginning to the end of the mecha war, as a Marvel hero blockbuster, at least the sincerity of this sequel in special effects is enough to make people visual exhausted.
A villain, Ultron, who seems to be profound and powerful, but literary and martial, seems to have made the movie’s duel of good and evil a joke. Most fans who are familiar with Marvel hero comics should be familiar with Ultron. Ultron is the most powerful villain in the "Reunion" series. One, "Reunion 2" also uses the subtitle of "Era of Ultron" as the selling point of the film's content. But in fact, in the movie, this villain not only often shows the bottom line of IQ, but it is also difficult to understand why he must be incarnate as an entity, and the entity is completely punching bag and was ravaged by heroes in turn. The era was passed away before it even began. The failed villain shaping makes the movie lacking in plot tension and suspense depth.
Looking for breakthroughs and innovations, Marvel movies that don’t want to just sell popcorn have focused more on the hero’s spiritual growth in recent years. This has undoubtedly changed many people’s views that Marvel heroes are only selling scenes. But everything There is a degree, blindly using the mind as a selling point of repeated bombings like scenes, then it has become self-defeating like "Reunion 2".
