For me, GotG beats out Avengers (just), and 3rd place is tied between Cap/Thor 2. With the exception of IM 2 and 3, though, I'd give them all 9/10 at minimum, with most being 10.

Of all the movies you mentioned the only one I thought was worth the money was IM2. Admittedly I was dragged to the thor films and CAI by wifey because she likes da Eye Kandy.

From just the perspective of enjoyment only I'd rank Iron Man, Cap 1&2, Thor 2, Avengers and Guardians a 10/10. The others hover between 5 (Iron Man 2) and 9 (Thor/I. Hulk).
That's just from a for fun perspective. I genuinely enjoy watching them. And Guardians is at the top of that list. Followed by Cap 2 and Avengers.

Didn't they make a short with Ben Kingsley's character that established that the real Mandarin wasn't happy with how his name was usurped for Guy Pearce's characters benefit?
Yes. That was the Hail To The King short on the Thor 2 DVD/Bluray.

I still remain one of the few people who really liked Iron Man 2. It just had the ending I wanted - Iron Man + War Machine vs tons of robots. It was perfect. Plus Black Widow.

Yup. An agent of the Mandarin even broke Trevor out of prison so he could answer for his impersonation.

Cap 2 was worth every damned penny. That was my fav film of last year.
Hulk vs. Ironman. Ultron has gone rogue. Some girl on a SHIELD Motorbike (sorry, limited knowledge). Captain America's shield gets broken. Fragmented depressing images of guys shooting, and girls running and/or crying. Are all trailers like this?

The girl on the bike being Black Widow.

I am so going to watch this. A civil war between Superheroes. And Ultron is behind it. One question. How does Ultron turn from that half-broken robot that is suddenly reactivated to a tron-like robot with Ironman like powers? Oh, yeah, and one problem. Ultron doesn't need a suit. Ironman does.

That's not the Civil War storyline. Ultron can however mind control people.
Ultron was designed by Hank Pym and modified by Tony Stark. So repulsor tech and the various other toys come built in with Ultron.
I still don't know if Stark is in the suit fighting Hulk. The second one shows a flash of Tony Stark inside a suit during the fight but there isn't anything specific to say where that shot came from and I have seen enough trailers to know they splice and edit them differently so as to create hype and don't necessarily show the final product.

Feels like Stark was definitely in the Hulkbuster in this trailer.

I agree except with iron man 3.I hated that movie. I thought the first and second were really good but number 3 just bored me to tears.
And I definitely feel like Ultron is attacking the Hulk through the suit. Clever editing doesn't tell me Stark is in the suit, just that at some point he is in a suit.

KingCracker wrote: That would make sense. I know the hulk is known for losing his gak and just attacking anything, but Ultron can take control of any machine right?
For the most part. In other iterations he has controlled other machines, including the Iron Man armor, to his own ends. The Hulk is probably one of the few physical threats to Ultron's his big ass body (shown in the movie as towering over humans) so it makes sense that he would do something to try and remove him from the equation. This is all speculation of course but right now it seems more likely to me that Ultron would control the suit and attack the Hulk than Stark alone. Now Stark might be blamed for it...

And underneath that stuff, I'm not sure that the story was that great or the characters that compelling. It was fun brain candy, kinda like the Avengers dialed up to 11. *shrug*
i thought Guardians was ok but I was blown away by the quality of Iron Man, Avengers, Thor 2 and Cap 2 - simply brilliant films in all respects - IMO

Indeed - and even if Stark is in the suit - he may not have any control over it - which would be nasty.............
Guess its a good job Ultron does not have to worry about Magneto as he is different set of films

The very first trailer, it shows the Hulkbuster suit wrapping itself around another Iron Man suit (when the helmet comes down, it's over another Iron Man helmet). Logical conclusion is it's Stark in an Iron Man suit that's in the Hulkbuster. There's no other reason for it. If it the smaller suit was a drone or AI controlled, then it's simpler to just make the Hulkbuster a drone.
Cue memes of wearing power armour over your power armour so you can power armour while you power armour.

Sorry 'bout that. It's behind that superhero registration act. I was just not clear. About Ultron, in the first seen, he's half broken, and he walks into the Starks' home or something.

The registration act won't be introduced in Age of Ultron, that's what Captain America: Civil War is all about. Rumour is it's in reaction to the devastation caused by Ultron.
I'd be super surprised if Ultron could control living beings. That said, he's intelligent, so reasoning with people to get them on his side (which it appears he does with Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch at least temporarily) isn't out of the question.
I doubt he'd really personally control anything other than his own body, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some 'cloud' based transferring to keep him alive in the MCU while still allowing the Avengers a victory by destroying his body.

I get the feeling that it is some sort of situation where, Tony in his normal Iron Man suit is trapped inside the Hulkbuster suit, which is controlled by Ultron and is used to attack Hulk.
It very much fits the Pinocchio theme of the film for that to happen.
They should have Ant-Man attack Ultron from the inside........
"By this point I'm convinced 100% that every single race in the 40k universe have somehow tapped into the ork ability to just have their tech work because they think it should."
Even if Ultron can't control people, don't forget Scarlet Witch is in this movie as well, and seemingly on his side, or at least against the Avengers for a bit of it, so who knows what kind of crap could go down.
Also I'd wager the Registration Act would be less a reaction to Ultron and more to Hulk v Iron Man duking it out downtown. I think I heard we're supposed to see that or some other fallout from Avengers start to come up in Ant Man?

In some shots Hulk's eyes are red. He's being controlled/deluded/artificially enraged.

Just a theory based upon a toy, but...
Spoiler:
Lego toys show the attack on Avengers tower involves Ultron, or a drone of his, flying off with Loki's staff. That might explain why he's allied with QS/SW and has made Hulk go nuts.
So the movie order appears to be:
1. Avengers free "test subjects" from Strucker. 2. They get Loki's staff back in the process. 3, Some drones get busted up during the fight. 4. They're celebrating when Skynet goes active and flips out. 5. One of Ultron's drones or he himself takes the staff. 6. He takes QS/SW and mind-warps them. 7. SW messes with the team. Thor heads back to Asgard. Rest of the team flees to Hawkeye's farm. 8. Somehow they end up in Wakanda, Hulk fights Stark, and Klaw's involved, and I don't know what happens after that.

Seems logical, but I'll be a bit disappointed if the staff is used to make more people bad for a limited time again. Worked once, let it go and do something new.
-Loki- wrote: The very first trailer, it shows the Hulkbuster suit wrapping itself around another Iron Man suit
It shows a suit being wrapped up in it, not Tony Stark. He could be in the suit as well, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he is in control.

When you know someone is trying to keep secrets then you already know they are trying to trick you.

It is a comic book movie, there are a multitude of reasons for it, not just meta one like making a toy line. The Hulk-buster suit may not work to it's full potential without a suit in it, especially if actually fighting the Hulk.

Well last we saw Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver they were under the care of HYDRA who had Loki's staff.
H.B.M.C. wrote:In some shots Hulk's eyes are red. He's being controlled/deluded/artificially enraged.
That could work as well. If anything is going to get Tony into the suit again it would be an Angry Rampaging Hulk I suppose. And an out of control robot he designed trying to kill everyone, but mostly the Hulk thing. I honestly try not to think to much about it until the film comes out. It would also give them a reason to either have everyone hate on Hulk and/or make the public really turn against him.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Well since I got to thinkin 'bout it we have two issues here"
Ultron can control suits/drones including his own suit.
The Loki Scepter with the (most likely) Gem of the Mind can control people.
So you have a guy that can control machines and a group that can control people. They both may be made to fight each other in a public area to make the Avenger's look bad.
