I'm so behind the curve it's not even funny. Everybody's talking Batman vs Superman and Captain America: Civil War and I'm all like "Hey, I just watched Age of Ultron last night. Go me!"
Anyways, I'm going to be in the minority (as always) and say I liked Ultron WAAAY better than the first Avengers movie which I really did not care for at all (and everyone loved for some reason I don't understand ). There were still some plot holes that bugged me, as is often the case, but it was an enjoyable, actiony, popcorn flick.
I'm loosely trying to catch up for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 due out in over a year, and it takes me like 2 months to watch a movie I get to my house on Netflix. I still need Ant-Man, and theoretically Thor 2 and Iron Man 3, but on the latter two I may just read a plot summary as I'm just not that excited to watch those. I'm also not at all interested in Civil War, but I may watch it just to be in-the-know (and also to prep for GotG2).
A few weeks ago I watched Pixels, and to quote Sokka from The Last Airbender, "This is the kind of wacky, time-wasting nonsense I've been missing!" It was horrible, but I really liked it. Totally bringing out the video game nerdiness in me. Not as good as Wreck-It Ralph, but definitely along the same lines. Some adult humor though, which was too bad.
Added Zootopia and Risen to my Netflix list for when they come out. Everyone seems to love them so I'm kind of curious now.
