For comparison, reactions to the original cut was “all over the place.”

I know everyone wants to crap on Snyder (and I get it, I saw Owls of Ga’Hoole) but as a person who can never get enough of seeing all his favorite heroes on screen teaming up, I am gonna be all over this. It might be bad, but it’s still a bunch of beloved superheroes knock around with some New Gods, so for me there’s…

Haha! I love every single reviewer that’s unironically saying this double sized movie managed to contain more details than the original single sized movie.

So, mostly positive reviews it seems.  Oh, a lot of people on here are not going to like that.

Age of Ultron has two unfortunate things going against it.

1) At some point, there had to be a movie to really carry the Infinity Stones concept forward with a bit of exposition. The vegetables had to be eaten before we got the dessert of “Cap, it’s Sam. On your left.” This one got chosen to do it.

2) Whether it was…

Generally, I feel the same way about Zack Snyder: Arresting visuals. Poor understanding of character. Overly reliant on his own signature clichés.
I think that there is a lot to like about Man of Steel (which indeed was intended to launch a new DC Cinematic Universe) but BvS was mostly a mess that was made more…

I haven't seen anyone saying anything hateful about women. What are you on about?

Comments: “We agree that Whedon’s a chauvinistic prick who should never work again, but Justice League was gonna suck no matter what.”
You: “These people hate women.”
What the hell?

Why are we reporting any of this as reliable. Fisher is pissed for having his character cut. His claims have been all over the place. I know Whedon is the anti-christ on this site these days, but none of this sounds very believable. There is NO WAY Whedon does not know WW’s first name is Diana.

And AoU is not THAT bad…

You described my feelings about The Dark Knight Rises. The movie falls apart at the slightest push of its narrative logic as a whole (basically, so many “So why ____?” questions), but I think most of its scenes in a vacuum — the plane hijacking , Selena and Bruce’s first meeting, Bane killing Daggett, Bane and…

Age of Ultron has a lot of good ideas for multiple seasons worth of TV series, but not a single three hour film. Hulk out of control is its own series. As we just found out, Wanda and Vision can carry a show. The downward spiral of Cap and Tony’s relationship starting here is great. Whatever Thor was up to was the…

It’s what he’s been doing all along, He makes a plausible claim, then either doesn’t back it up or backs it up with stuff that makes absolutely no sense and doesn’t really make his claim any stronger 

He might be lazy enough to recycle bits from another project, but he still wouldn’t forget which character he was working with on the set. The actors’ names, yes; but not the characters.

In what way is a movie with a 75% critic score and 83% audience score “unpopular”?

Age of Ultron wasn’t that bad. DC have a history of some terrible movies. Joss Whedon may well be a narcissistic d-bag, but it will be very interesting to see if the Snyder cut is much more than a vanity project. 

AoUs problems were different than JLs. AoU was overstuffed and occasionally nonsensical - Thor’s vision in the well, Scarlet Witch’s then undefined powers, Strucker just sort of popping up out of nowhere, etc. - but it was still mostly entertaining and not boring. JL is dour and boring. All of the heroes approach…

I will give Whedon one itty-bitty teeny-tiny bit of reason for bitterness: AoU was talked up as possibly being the first 2$ billion movie, and Disney then tried to call it a ‘bust’ as a result of it not crossing that line.

Only made 1.7 billion after all... 

I don’t get the hate for AoU. I thought it was pretty damn good, especially considering all the extra story bits that had to get shoehorned into it to pave the way for future projects.

Whedon has been quite vocal about his issues with Downey, issues that ring a bit different knowing what we know now about Whedon and the environment he’s created on his sets.

“Joss Whedon seeing female characters as largely interchangeable and reducing them easily to funbag airbags?” Whedon might be a bullying sexist egomaniac but this seems like a push to link it to any over reaching behaviour and the linked story. He created a lot of strong female characters and unless you pull some…
