Will wait for DVD. I fell asleep during the last one, a waste of my 1200yen.

For me, Age of Ultron is like a Jenga game right before it topples over from being too top heavy.

The bottom of a Jenga game are all the first Marvel movies and then the next Marvel movie comes out, they have to keep taking the pieces from the bottom and putting them in the new movies to keep this shared universe feeling going and before you know it, you're new movies are overstuffed from references from past movies because you're so worried about continuity in every scene that your're overwhelmed and it crumbles from it's own weight.

I miss Marvel movies like Iron Man because they were free to make a fun, freewheeling movie without worrying about dotting all their I's and crossing all their T's.

Maybe that's why I like Daredevil on Netflix, it's free to have a beginning, a middle, and a end and not just feel like a puzzle piece or a cog.

You realize 'Daredevil' is the first of four series with a shared continuity ? I counted at least two references to the other series when I was watching it.

I agree it was great but you might have the same reservations by the time 'Defenders' rolls around.

I'm looking forward to the new Avengers, it's the continuity that makes them great (in my opinion).

Meh, not a fan of the Avengers movies. Though Daredevil (the series, not that god-awful Affleck movie) is fantastic.
