The Marvel Comic Universe is booming! Following the adventures of Spider-Man, the Hulk and the Fantastic Four, two hits were released immediately, bringing together most of the drawn characters. This is truly a present for fantasy saga lovers. Let's find out what the success of the 2015 Avengers 2 tape is. Reviews of the film will be our assistant.
How it all began…
But before we talk about the leader who gathered a fabulous box office in the first months of hire, let's go back a few years. The first “Avengers” was preceded by a long preparatory process, which included the approval of the scenario, the technical component, the impressive financing, which the company decided on. The picture was released in 2012. The plot featured key characters: Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, as well as a number of minor characters.
What conquered the “Avengers”? Reviews about the film were rushed to express by the first viewers who came to the premiere at the fashionable Los Angeles cinema “El Capitan”. So, they noted the simplicity and easy naivety of the plot: our universe is in great danger, the powers that be can save it from enslavement. Those are the above-mentioned heroes who came down from the pages of comics. It is known that they appeared in the middle of the last century and for many years were waiting for their finest hour. Fantasy “Avengers” served as a great opportunity to revive characters on the screen. Reviews from the audience are inclined to believe that the film turned out to be a real Hollywood action. Still - with a budget of 220 million, he is simply obliged to subdue with a spectacle and special effects. The success is confirmed by colossal fees that exceeded the mark of 1.5 billion dollars.
Logical explanations as a guarantee of understanding
It would seem that hundreds of different Marvel heroes have a chance to confuse an unenlightened viewer. And if the “novice” can “swallow”, then the “old-timer” will require explanation. What can be said about the plot component of the picture “Avengers”? Reviews of the film clearly demonstrate that the authors did not overdo it with the idea. With all the richness of the universe itself, screenwriters are especially careful in writing each line. This is how the impression is created that there is nothing contradictory, and even if the characters are assembled into a single team, then this is no accident. Viewers admitted that they did not have a desire to focus on trifles that seemed stupid, insignificant or "delusional." The key idea - to save the Earth on the scale of neighbors, friends, society - is understandable to the impossibility. It contains human values that are not alien to superhuman.
What other qualities do Avengers have? Reviews of the film talk about the rationale for everything that is offered on the screen, despite the most incredible fantasies that the authors may have. The audience admitted: leaving the hall, they did not suffer from the realization that certain plot moves remained incomprehensible. On the contrary, every action of any character can be explained, which means that there was no sediment of ambiguity.
Visual picture
One of the obvious reasons for the success of numerous reviews and reviews of the film “Avengers” is called the skillful distribution of the astronomical budget directed by Joss Whedon. Thanks to the built scenery, the expected action and special effects, the result exceeded expectations. Viewers admitted that it was the “destructive” effect that was rated the most. With such strong characters, it would be illogical to expect from them the “right” actions. There could be no talk of any boredom! Moreover, if you have to save the planet, expect chaos on earth! From entertainment is breathtaking. This was probably the main focus when creating the masterpiece we are considering.
American actors: all assembled
An impressive ensemble of leading actors is a fact of special pride. Watching the actors of your favorite images, we are pleased that they not only retained their “face” for “Avengers”, but also joined together in a team. Is it worth it to separate someone from the movie "Avengers"?
Reviews of the film are unanimously called magnificent by all actors without exception, who created their own unique images. When looking at Robert Downey Jr., the audience had the feeling that he was literally created for this role. Unlike the previous Iron Man, you can now notice the changes in the character of the hero. When a global threat loomed over humanity, it was Tony Stark who appeared - caring, sympathetic, worried. He thinks of others, but retains a sharp tongue and sense of humor. Combining such qualities helped Downey's talent.
Samuel L. Jackson, who perfectly embodied the one who was destined to unite the team of defenders, did not go unnoticed by the audience. And also Tom Hiddlestone, brilliantly playing the treacherous Loki, taking deception, not force.
Waiting for the sequel
The undeniable success of the first “Avengers” caused a wave of rumors and speculation regarding the continuation. It did not take long - the shooting started in early 2014, and the premiere took place a year later. What will entice Avengers 2: Age of Ultron now?
Reviews from the audience mark the plot, comparable to the previous part. Humanity is still under threat of destruction. The main villain Loki is neutralized, his place was taken by Ultron. The sequel is also distinguished by the fact that the organization “Shch.I.T.” broke up with the finale of its predecessor, now people themselves are forced to ask for the help of the Avengers.
Forget the past, think about the future
What are the first reviews of the movie “Avengers” talking about? The Age of Ultron brings a simple idea to the viewer. By and large, not the salvation of mankind remains a key task. Authors can invent such storylines as much as they like. It was more important to show how to combine a superhero and an ordinary person, not to lose your personality. Do not lose yourself and your own destiny - this is perhaps the main message of the picture. On the example of the confrontation between Thor and the Hulk, their awareness of who they are inside and not outside, viewers see the unity of the team that managed to leave past conflicts for the sake of our planet.
We lure people with a sight
And again, continuing the success of the first part, the creators bribe with an impressive spectacle, which is an integral part of the Avengers-2 tape. Reviews of the film include ratings from critics who agree in their opinion: this is undoubtedly the best blockbuster since the beginning of this year. He is advised as a story that you need to “watch”, disconnecting from everyday worries. Each episode captures, and the whole picture literally flies in one breath! It is great for relaxing. At the top were special effects, especially noticeable in the 3D version. According to the viewers, there are so many action scenes in the film that you will be full of them in the coming weeks.
Split personality
Not only a powerful visual picture is filled with a film. What other components are rich in Avengers 2? Reviews of viewers who watched it note flash scenes, which have become a pleasant addition. So, thanks to them, the audience met with other superheroes enslaved by the magnetic influence of the Scarlet Witch. On the other hand, this is a good opportunity to penetrate the consciousness of the characters and see their state of mind. And also once again recall that they first of all remain human beings, and then superheroes.
Avengers 2: Age of Ultron, reviews: growing up, new idealization
It is impossible not to appreciate such a large-scale project as the long-awaited sequel turned out to be. So the critics hastened with opinions, which may be listened to by those who have not yet seen the film. So, it is worth comparing two parts: the first turned out to be an ironic “retreat” and contained more adventure motifs, while the second is noticeably different in depth. The theme on which the plot is based can easily be called religious - Iron Man and the Hulk create a semblance of God, called the artificial intelligence Ultron. He manages to overtake mankind in cunning, creates a double, gives strength and intelligence to many robotic minions, which are now increasingly difficult to defeat. The idea is narrowed down as much as possible - the team is forced to defend against the one whom it itself has created. The film itself takes the form of a parable: created an idol, and now you are tormented with it. Undoubtedly, the authors “threw” a controversial topic that many viewers ponder over.
The numbers will tell about everything
While film critics from all over the world speak out in personal reviews about the success of the second part, film managers look more at the film’s rental performance. Several months have passed since its appearance on the screens. What grades did Avengers 2 earn?
Feedback from viewers contains predominantly positive feedback. The leading Internet portal Rotten Tomatoes counted over 75% of the votes among the respondents with an average score of 7 out of 10 acceptable.
Cash figures are also impressive. With a budget of 250 million, fees exceeded 1.3 billion; The premiere day of the show, which brought in $ 9.5 million, stands out. The following fact is also interesting: “Avengers-2” bypassed “Harry Potter”, “Lord of the Rings” and “Star Wars”. I wonder what next project will be able to climb above this bar?
Afterword
To summarize, we should once again recall the success accompanying the picture. What are the memorable Avengers 2: Age of Ultron? Reviews of the film highlight several primary reasons on the basis of which the audience made a choice in his favor:
- Easy, affordable plot. The idea of saving humanity from evil on a global scale is not original, but you should not wait for another from the story about superheroes on whom people are equal.
- Internal intrigues, expertly woven into the narrative, allowing you to look at the heroes from a different, more “ordinary” side: the romantic relationship of the Hulk and the Black Widow, rethinking the views of Captain America, the “joy” of Hawkeye's family life, the love line of incompatible, at first glance, characters .
- Unsurpassed images, distinguished by their dissimilarity and charisma. Viewers especially highlighted the sparkling humor of Tony Stark and Thor, often discharging the atmosphere, as well as their jokes “thrown” at Captain America. It was pleasantly surprised that in the sequel past characters are not forgotten, such as, for example, agent Maria Hill.
- The emergence of new heroes - twins named Mercury and the Witch - from the fictional country of Zakovia.
- The presence of action scenes. There are gunfights, chases, hand-to-hand fights, flights ... Yes, sometimes they are too long, but truly pleasing to the eye.
To look or not - the viewer should give himself the answer to this question. One thing is obvious: both parts of The Avengers can be called impressive. Drive movie that leaves positive emotions. According to many viewers, the second part surpassed its predecessor. It is difficult to call “Avengers” the best film works of the comic book universe, but these are not the worst representatives of it. Unfortunately, there were some cons. Mistakes that are noticeable when re-viewing this: meager soundtrack, lack of psychological tension.
