The use of colors and framing was fantastic. It was one of the aspects in which it was superior compared to the first film. I often rewatch it just to see how good the film looks.
shareIt does have a nice look. But that's one of the things I like about Marvel is they're not afraid to use color or show the bright of day. Unlike DC, which tends to run grey and darkly lit. That's really one of my main issues with their movies.
shareThat's all you MCU fanboys care about is that these movies look pretty. You don't appreciate great cinematography when it's actually setting a mood... like when Magneto's wife and daughter are killed in XMA or when it's helping to tell the story, and maybe even confuse the audience like the shots of the mural on the wall at the peace conference in X-Men: DOFP. I can just see you geeks singing, "It feels pretty, oh so pretty, oh so pretty...." That's as far as your knowledge of cinematography goes.
Get off your soapbox while I play you a tune on the tiniest violin.
like when Magneto's wife and daughter are killed in XMAThat movie was so stupid, lol.
Take a deep breath, and calm down. You must have been on some reading frenzy and didn't follow what I said, so I'll clarify for you.
No, I'm not a marvel fanboy. And I've seen a wide range of the movies...DC, Marvel, and Fox (which by the way I made no comment about). My comment in particular was about DC movies, especially the past few which were filmed in such a very, very dark light that they were actually very difficult to follow. My remarks weren't about bright, happy movies. I just actually like being able to see what's going on when I watch a movie.
Although there's many things I really appreciate about this film, I'm also particularly impressed with how it looks. Stunning cinematography.
You want something corny? You got it!
Whedon bit off more than he could change chew.
The beginning assault on Strucker is a comicbook. Panel/panel/panel-splash page of them all moving forward. Later in the church where they are all fighting the Ultrons is like a centerfold of the whole team in action.
It is amazing.
But he tried running a theme of what makes a monster & what makes a hero. There he fell a bit short. That works for Batman. Maybe Hulk. X-Men. But the whole Avengers are monsters? It's not really them. The hero comes out in top

I find that's the case with most Marvel films. Beautifully crafted since 2011 at any rate. They've really grown up as a studio since then and in a short amount of time.
