am sorry buh which gruesome deaths, I particular thought it was hated mainly cos superman did took a life and killed zod?, I can pretty much remember reading a few reviews and that part was mainly criticised,I might be wrong though.

zod's death and the destructi0ns are the grues0me deaths am talking about na. Am glad zod was killed off, you kn0w why? Cos fr0m n0w on, we'll be able to see other superman villains other than zod and lex.

I particularly didn't enjoy the avengers has much as I hoped , its what ull call solid, buh all in all its just a big budget CGI showcase, the pacing was wrong, the villain was weak, ( the bleeped up big time wif d villian, ultron had realpromise.) He was well voiced and well animated, buh there was just no point in the movie in which he actually had an upper hand. All in all avengers age of ultron is enjoyable just wasn't worth ma 2k advance showing fee.

nothing special about the age of ultron cos we already know ultron's age (pun intended) but sha if u want to enjoy it, lower your expectations or better still don't watch captain america winter soldier cos its higher than the age of ultron.

Csami:
U know u're actually right. I was expecting to hear the death of probably thor or captain America or hawkeye or some big name not that quick silver guy. The ultron I know is brutal and intelligent, always two steps ahead of the avengers.

They didn't want to be compared with the xmen quicksilver and our very own the flash thats why they had to kill him off.

jjk24:
Ofcus they won't wanna put any gruesome scene or civilians actually dying on the big screen, buh they expect you to know people die, all that destruction? And they tell you people died ,u still dey doubt?

there were gruesome deaths in man of steel. That's why its generally hated by critics.

Csami:
Come on bro, don't tell me you slept all through.

saying there were no actual deaths in mos is like saying no one died during world war 2 cos you never saw anyone die.

ApexTitan:
I was referring specifically to the MoS movie, we saw a lot destruction and property damage but never any actual deaths. The deaths were only implied, never shown. But yeah I agree, DC movies are darker than Marvel's

How can you say there were no actual deaths in mos when we saw people get crushed and lost in the destruction? Can you say there aren't no actual deaths when a tsunami hits cos you never saw any one die?

ApexTitan:
How could you miss the obvious spite in Raal's remark? Therein lay the unreasonableness that Moneyallowed was referring to.

spite? Well sorry i didn't take it as spite. Seriously. Well we all have our views.

ApexTitan:
In MoS nobody died except Zod.

wr0ng! How about the lives that were lost during the smallville and metropolis fight, the soldiers that died, dr emil hamilt0n (supes doct0r in the c0mics), the world engine destructi0n. In m0s u can feel a sense of danger, people valueing their lives and n0t throwing of 0ne liners or the villain joking when destroying things. The film felt rushed to me. The only sequence l liked was the hulk scene where he spat on the fl0or during his clash with t0ny. Funny, it was then that i kind of felt t0ny's danger but after t0ny defeated hulk, it l0st me.

Raalsalghul:
Hey D.C and Marvel fans I want to know what's your take on other CBM like Xmen: Appocalypse, Deadpool, Fant4stic, Gambit, The wolverine and all other movies that aren't D.C or Marvel

well am excited for apocalypse cos unlike marvel/disney, xmen villains are epic. deadpool, gambit, f4 not that sure.

Csami:
I'm planning to see avengers on Monday but the reviews I'm getting is not bad or great either. My friend told me that ultron is a comedian that makes ancient jokes, ironman beating hulk, no loki. Damn! another thought provoking marvel movie.

not that the movie isn't good but its generic and things are over done. in the movie i didn't feel any sense of danger even when ultron is supposed to be dangerous. but for instance in man of steel, you felt supes weakness, and all and you felt people dying.

moneyallowed:
Smh. I thought this thread was for reasonable discussion. Seems i was wrong, my mistake.

What isn't reasonable about the discussion? That we are criticizing the age of ultron for being what it is or what critics are saying? What's great about the movie if not for cap, hulk, iron man, thor, widow and so for meeting the second time? The film is good but not that good and unoriginal. if it was like the winter soldier i'll praise it but now its a mock up of the avengers, man of steel and transformers.

Raalsalghul:
Superstory! Go and check imdb now it has reduced to 8.2 am sure in the following days it will reduce. Marvel has hypnotized people, they will see anything so far the marvel logo is on it. Am not going to contribute to marvel finances by seeing this movie in a cinema. I will download it illegally from a torrent website and watch it anytime I feel like going to sleep. Avengers: Age of Sucktron. Rubbish!

ultron is a stand up comedian in the film.

kraftykc:
POINT!

DC succeeds with realism-laced heroes and Marv does with popcorn appeal. While I'm unapologetically DC, I have to agree that it works for Marvel but truthfully, it's only going to last in the short term. DC uses strong storylines and themes that resonate with even oddball viewers while if u don't dig the action, you won't dig the Marvel.

As concerns this trailer...JEEZ, its got us talking about the entire comic world and it didn't even show the Green Lantern, Wonder Woman or Aqua-Man (lets praise the Lord Vinnie Chase wasn't cast for the role). If that doesn't tell you all that its going to break some Avatar type records then y'all be tripping.

I orgasm when I remember Batfleck! Shhiiiiiitttt! I love that casting! Fecking hell I do! Also I saw Gal Gadot in the WW costume and she looks fabulous. Lets not get too hung up on acting chops, all these actors need are decent skills, not everyone can bring a character to life like Ledger did for the Joker.

Indeed but heard anyone called jared leto? Mhen i so love dc. now my prayer is let gl be a dark, gritty film. cops aren't lighthearted in real world sense so why would green lantern be light. i need the blackest night storyline in the film where the dead come back as black lanterns. that'll be epic.

Raalsalghul:
You are not wrong. Many people are complaining about the movie. The constant one liners, an underutilized villain, the romance between hulk and black widow which wasn't referenced in the other films etc are some of the complaints I've seen. Am not surprised even I didn't like the trailer. Wow I didn't know thread is still going

From the trailers you shall know them. i've seen the movie but a cinema record version. the film could best serve as a comedy. nothing in it is taken seriously and it's as if the movie is an apology to man of steel's criticisms. but i like the quicksilver character though. now am wondering how this would lead to civil war cos i don't see how and why.

soe:
Haba...this is a very simple matter na...why is GMB sef in a hurry.

Baba cool down...leave the eediot to continue ranting...

NBC wrote a query to AIT and he has not responded...because he has the backing of Jonathan...but after May 29, the way NBC will close down that station until further notice ehn...even Buhari will not be able to beg them.

Just wait n see

Guy who is this Dokpesi i keep hearing about? Is he south african? And what is daar c0mmunicati0n by the way?

kitnah:

The flash who is harrison wells epis0de was really interesting. Now waiting to see how eobard thawne will react to barry kn0wing he's the reverse flash. Seen the trailer 4 d next epis0de and wells gets locked up. Funny. By the way yesterday's arrow episode was epic, imagyn the way merlyn fought the league of assassins, ollie's rebranding of being al sahim/Ra'as ollie ghul. Mhen can't wait for the flash epis0de 20 nd arrow ep 21
Harris0n wells: s0me would say am the reverse.

moneyallowed:
We'll see, i haven't watched it yet so till then. He can't be that bad or the reviews would have been worse

okay! I guess we'll have to wait till may 1 to find out. Its 9 days away.

moneyallowed:
Lool this is funny. Was wondering how long it'd take for the DC fanboys to attack. The reviews have generally been good. It presently has tomato score of 85, is 9.2 on IMDB & has a 7.2 score on metacritic. These are the 3 most trusted movie review outlets. It's worth noting that these are early reviews as the movie has only been released in some european countries & most critics haven't seen it yet. Therefore the movie rating will definitely fluctuate for some days.
However we can assume that AoU will not rate as high as Avengers did, It certainly doesn't mean it's not great, as i think most people had unrealistic expectations for the movie. Saying Ultron is unmemorable is incorrect as no review i read said that. What they're generally saying is he's a good villain but not on the same level as Wilson Fisk & Loki. Those are the best two villains the MCU has produced.

stop being in denial bro. Ultr0n isn't mem0rable. When they say he isn't on par with kingpin and loki it means there's n0thing special about him.

JasonWattz:
who reviewed nd concluded "isn't that great"?

does the who really matter? Well same critics who review m0vies. Obviously there's n0thing mem0rable about the villain.

ammyluv2002:
Guys sha *smh*

Tell them the truth before marriage ......problem
Hide the truth till after marriage ......problem


Most Guys are so difficult to please ie guys like the poster

Dude, pls stop looking for excuses and settle down with somebody. Most ladies pretend and lie a lot and you're lucky to have met a lady who isn't a liar

God is the giver of children! I'm not saying kudos to the lady but you shouldn't judge her from her past/mistakes. We are all human so why not just forgive her and tell her to ask God for Mercy and move on with your wedding plans

look at you. Imagine a man you want to marry had the courage to tell you he has low sperm count, std or should i say cancer of the dick, will you still go ahead with the marriage plans?

Fr0m the reviews am hearing, seems like avengers age of ultr0n isn't that great. Ultr0n is a pretty forgettable villain jux as the mcu villains are. Hope am wr0ng though

sage1000:
Brainiac and Ultron only have surface details as similar. Their motivations, origins and personality are completely different. Sentry is one of many marvels answer to superman back when marvel's superheroes were all about realism(funny how things change). This one being basically a superman that got addicted to his powers.
As for transformer the only thing similar about both of them is that they are robots and that is stretching it.

For similarities in comics, you can get away with a lot of things as long as you change the name and symbol.

no no you are wr0ng. If that was the rule, why did dc sue fawcett c0mics then for captain marvel n0w kn0wn as shazam 4 being a superman rip off.

moneyallowed:
Sentry is an alien life force manifested in a serum enhanced human. Sentry & Supes are very similar down to the S on their costumes but Sentry has additional powers plus the mental instability. I don't know who is stronger though. The similarities are so much that it's almost certain he is a ripoff . Braniac & Ultron hmmm. As similar as they are i don't think they were meant as copycats. Their personalities are very different despite the fact that they're both villains.

now why will dc allow marvel let sentry have an s seeing how similar it is to supes? No copyright rules anym0re? How similar are supes and sentry apart fr0m power set? What makes ultr0n different fr0m the brainInterActiveConstruct? Ok if you d0n't see it how about calling ultr0n a transformer?

S0mething tells me age of ultr0n is going to sound so transformers. With ultr0n as demitic0n.

moneyallowed:
False. There is no way Cap is a Superman ripoff. Their origin stories, powers and abilities aren't similar sef. The closest Marvel hero that resembles Supes is Sentry. If you say that one is a ripoff i can understand.
Namor was created in 1939, 3 years before Aquaman was released with the same power set

okay. Well tell me m0re about that sentry character. I've heard of it but n0t sure how related it is to superman. Isn't sentry a robot. Again that reminds me, isn't ultr0n a brainiac rip off?

Oahray:
you'd judge between two movies with just their trailers? Smh. Well, I wont, even if I've seen both teasers.

When I watch both movies, I can choose which is the better movie. I am not a fanboy of either comic universe, and I don't fall for trailer-inspired hype anymore.

are you sure? Then what was the buzz then when age of ultr0n's trailer was released?

moneyallowed:
Lol dude! Captain America is Superman without the cape You obviously don't know your history of ripoffs. There are numerous instances of comic book characters being copied by rival comanies. If my memory is right, DC started it by copying both Batman &Superman from established characters, The Shadow and Gladiator. For every Green arrow/Hawkeye, i can point out Namor/Aquaman.
So stop the fanboy war and enjoy just learn to enjoy your superheroes

bro d0n't divert fr0m the topic. True or false, isn't cap a superman rip off? By the way i think aquaman came b4 nam0r.

Oahray:
bros you wise jor. The DC vs Marvel argument is lame. I'd enjoy interesting movies, regardless of who makes them.

that doesn't stop the fact that the BvS teaser is far better the one staged by age of ultron. True or false?

Csami:
My point exactly. Marvel copied half of their characters from Dc.

captain america is superman without the cape and flight. Hawkeye is oliver queen without m0ney, black widow is black canary/laurel lance without s0nic scream hulk is s0l0m0n grundy with green skin and a superhero instead of villain, antman is the at0m/ray palmer. Marvel's original character i can think of is spiderman. X men? Is a dc rip off of d0om patrol. Where their head is in a wheel chair and they are also misfits to the society.

Csami:
About the copying ish, batman aka Bruce Wayne and tony stark aka ironman who existed first?

I'll call seven characters in DC you do the same for marvel, then we will know who copied who.

bro, d0n't go there. Bats came b4 ir0n man/stark. If its copying try slade wils0n/deathstroke (dc) against wade wils0n deadp0ol marvel who copied who, marvel c0pied dc. Darkseid than0s, marvel copied dc. They are too many. Their green lantern corps is n0va corps. Guardians of galaxy is equivalent to the guardians of the universe of gl.

JasonWattz:
Aaaw C'mon bruhh... Supe's the "god" they looking up to this time Around... I highly doubt that.

i didn't say supes being the villain, i meant henry cavill.
