No, you're right, Age of Ultron isn't bad... It's terrible.

Everyone's different 
AoU is one of the most important movies in the timeline though because of the character it introduces, how that affects another character, and how the events affect the relationship between the Avengers and authorities.
As for Captain Marvel, I enjoyed the movie but the lead and her acting left a lot to be desired.

Nest up....
Guardians of the Galaxy 7/10
As stated above, we were going to skip this one but we gave it a go.
On the one hand I enjoyed it and it contained all the usual banter, humour and jokes you get in a good Marval film. On the other hand, I found it a bit of a let down.
It suffers from the same problem as several other MCU films in that everything in the plot happens at 100 miles an hour. In many ways GOTG was worse as there was a mcguffin at every turn to save the day. Escaping from a maximum security prison? It took minutes. Move on to the next bit.... More jeopardy, no problem help is a few seconds away, even the finale went almost exactly as briefed. There was very little jeopardy and all in all I found it quite unsatisfying.
Where it really lands though is the humour and relationship between the central players. Even if it was blatantly obvious they were going to get through pretty much every situation with barely a hair out of place. It was enjoyable to watch and I am genuinely looking forward to the sequel.
I really can't help thinking this would have been far, far better as a 10 part series rather than a film.
I want to give it more, it was fun but it only gets a 7 out of 10.

Jist got back from taking my daughter and a couple of her friends to watch the new Disney live action version of The Little Mermaid.
I admit I wasn't up for it but came out having quite enjoyed it.
The visuals are very good and for a PG there were a couple of jumo scare moments that has a real wallop. Melissa McCarthy as Ursula steals the show.
I think it was probably 20 minutes too long but it's not as bad as some of the reviews suggest.
Oh, and anyone who gets wrapped around the axle over the ethnicity of the actress playing Aerial is a racist twat.

Not seen it.
I've seen the first one.
I didn't like it.

As movies go, it's definitely a "put your brain in the fridge and crack a beer" kind of thing. I watched it on a plane, and enjoyed it, but then I was after a plane go vroom, gun go brrrt, missile go whoosh, bomb go boom movie.
One of the blokes I served with in the Navy would watch it at least once a week. I started off disliking Top Gun and a few months into the deployments I'd reached the stage of loathing it.

Two of my housemates at uni used to do the same. Usually naked. They were strange. One of them went into posh men's clothing, the other joined the army. So not really a massive surprise.
They used to serenade ladies at bars with the "loving feeling" scene, with a reasonable amount of success!

It's bugger all than a shoddy remake of the original, slightly less homoerotic I guess.
Had to Google his filmography and I've seen none of them.

back from barbie (oppenheimer was full ) 4 of my family were going & thought why not. im interested in the fuss is about ill join
it wasnt what i expected, thats in a good way. i assumed pink, cheesy & silly which it was with some of scenes & the im just ken song & ken fight. but i wasnt prepared for it to as well written, serious & hard hitting at times as it was. it almost a great trojan horse for those issues for young girls. its a good film standalone
i enjoyed the narrator joke about Margot Robbie worrying she not attractive anymore "if we wanted you to believe this we wouldn't have hired Margot Robbie"

its like buses you dont see a film for over 18 months & then you see 2 in 2 days
youve got do something on birthday, so went to see new / final Indiana Jones. id been meaning to see it & but never got around to it, it seems it was coming to the end of the run & it was already in 1 of the smaller rooms & only 1 showing a day. like any long running franchise even bond it can be formulaic, so if you've seen any previous you wont be surprised how it goes, but hey if aint broke dont fix it.
so as action film it was was good, harrison ford is still great, 1st thing ive seen phoebe waller bridge acting in, even though ive known her for a while & enjoyed her, like her addition as the now deceased assistant goddaughter . like usual i didnt guess the ending, thought oh no doubt he will do this & this or this will have happen. but im used to that
