I felt the trailer lacked substance, the story seems tired and predictable. Nothing new to see here except for the players.

I’m also not a fan of the “Ultimates” series at all and am really peeved about the omission of ORIGINAL founding members Ant Man & Wasp.

Robert Downey Jr’s sarcastic one liners is starting to really wear thin, but that’s attributed to Whedon’s typical snarly dialogue. Just as I feared, an episodic TV screenwriter given full reign as a director on a feature film.

This may look grand and epic thanks largely to world renowned Seamus McGarvey who is an Oscar-nominated cinematographer, but it reads much like an extended TV episode.

MARVEL / DISNEY should have hired a critically acclaimed (A list) Director to helm what should have been a ground breaking cinematic epic. Avengers no doubt will do well at the box office because of it’s large fan base, but will not be of the same caliber as a LOTR or TDK.

BTW I’m not a hater or a troll, just someone with high expectations for characters that should’ve been afforded the best possible treatment.
