"Avengers 2": a visually exciting sequel with not-so-good plot

90 points for "Reunion 1" and 75 points for "Reunion 2". As a super giant of MARVEL, the overall quality is not too bad. There are still formulas for blockbuster films, but this time the formula is not delicious, it's just passable and not unpalatable.

1. Two highlights:
1) Of course there are several big scenes. The CG images of the opening forest battle, Iron Man vs. Hulk, and cabin battle are all remarkable. At the end of the most exciting part, everyone gathers in a circle to resist the slow motion CG of the robot army. The soundtrack of this section highlights the best viewing effect.
2) The overall details correspond to the previous series. That is to say, every detail can correspond to the various details of the previous "Iron Man", "American Team", "Thor" and "Reunion 1", which is not easy. Good deed, how many episodes of MARVEL heroes I have watched! A super long movie series!

2. Three points deducted:
1) The part of literary drama: The biggest flaw of the film, there is no connotation at all. For example, Hawkeye takes everyone home to see his wife and children, Iron Man competes with Captain America to chop firewood, Black Widow seduces the Hulk, and some people say that ten minutes is the American version of country love. In addition, Iron Man talked about his bullshit theory, only verbose without humor, procrastinating and not sublimating the connotation.
2) Ultron's combat effectiveness and defeat methods. As the BOSS in this episode, his style is not big enough. Since it is an artificial intelligence, it seems that his IQ should be higher. In the end, because he killed a certain member of the reunion, it was too easy to be "fixed" by the angry Hulk. At least it should be more enjoyable for the members to "join together" or "post a trick" to kill him.
3) Chinese translation. This time the translation was too bad, and many sentences did not translate the meaning he conveyed.

3. Characters and actors: It is
difficult to write a group drama that quotes "deeper whiteness" . For a popcorn movie, if there are many characters, a clear and strong character image is needed to enhance the film's realism, and at the same time make those CG-filled action scenes not empty and stupid.
This episode not only has the All-Star Avengers lineup, but also several newly added characters. Most of them are the protagonists of their branches. How to balance the drama? How to create new contradictions? How to make new characters impress the audience?
This episode did not do well in these three areas. 1) The new Ultron is very strong in setting, but every step in the confrontation with Fulian is mastered by Fulian. 2) The biggest contradiction within the reunion is whether to set out and display stronger power to protect humans. This is the biggest difference between Iron Man and Captain America. How to solve: Thor. Reason: I took a bath and knew something. 3) Kuaiyin and the prodigal witch turned their heads too quickly and suddenly. 4) The chief has made soy sauce.
The unclear motives of the characters lead to the lack of tension between the characters and the single driving force of the plot.
Therefore, it is certainly reasonable that everyone agrees that "Reunion 2" is inferior to "Reunion 1".

Summary: My score is 90 points for "Reunion 1" and 75 points for "Reunion 2".
This batch of superheroes have almost dug the stories between each other. The characters are already very plump, and they have begun to enter a period of aesthetic fatigue. If the relationship between the characters is not changed, they will go to the rhythm of "Gossip Girl". ). Marvel's ending was handled very well, and the next episode really needs fresh blood to regroup.

PS: For plastic surgery, go to Korea, that's right.
