It isn’t new, it has been out for six years, but somehow I only saw it last night on a NetFlix DVD. A meh movie. The worst soundman ever. Most of the dialogue was inaudible. Actors mumbled, turned away from the mike while speaking, and failed to speak up. Plot was difficult to impossible to understand, all it seemed to produce was a lot of hand to hand fistfights between Tony Stark (Ironman) and Steve Rogers (Captain America). Since both of them are super powered, neither could get in any solid hits on the other.
The movie opens (after some action shots) with a white haired well dressed man from the UN demanding that the Avengers accept UN authority and only beat up UN approved bad guys. Tony Stark is for it, Steve Rodgers is against it. Neither of them gives reasons for their positions The UN guy lands a 1 inch thick bound book of UN regulations on the table. Seeing that I though to myself with that much to choose from a lawyer could find paragraphs in there to justify anything he wanted to do. The movie never gets down to the Avengers taking a vote (or even just a show of hands) as to accepting or rejecting the UN demands. Instead it moves on to hand to hand combat between Captain America and Ironman. This goes on and on and on. I know that both protagonists are super powered and safe from death or injury, the action fails to engage my interest.
