Rambly Age of Ultron reaction post

Okay, so here are some bullet-pointed thoughts in lieu of a coherent review. It's one of those weird movies where I really enjoyed the whole experience but still have a lot of criticisms, and on rewatching I'll probably still enjoy the character moments but feel it has mixed success as an entry in a series. Remember, I critque because I love...

Yours is only the second LJ review I've seen - and thanks for being so thorough - but I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm not going to like this film.

Yeah, I've been really surprised by how quiet it's been this week. I suppose most of the people I follow who are likely to review it are in the unreleased zone, but I could swear we had more discussion going on at this stage with other MCU films that did the split release thing...

One really quick note before I try to get my own thoughts on the movie in order (and thank you for sharing yours! Mine will be nowhere nearly so well articulated or, indeed, on point):

Also, if the truck with the healing cradle thing in it had booster rockets so it could fly, why didn't it just fly in the first place?

Two of the Ultron drones attached themselves to the trailer and boosted the trailer off the cab and flew it. The trailer itself did not have rockets.

Ahhh, thank you - that makes a hell of a lot more sense!
