I find it impossible to compare the two films, to be honest. ironclad Send a noteboard - 17/05/2015 12:52:40 PM

For me, it was a much better film than Ultron. In fact the best sci-fi action film since Dawn of the planet of the Apes.
I'll make a two point comparison:
Stakes: Despite Ultron threatening the world, and here you just have the main players in danger, the danger was more real ,personal and imminent.

Action: Even if I disregard the stakes and try to look at the action objectively, this felt much better. I don't like the cartoony flavor of recent action, and I guess basing your movie on practical effects makes a difference.


I see what you're saying but while one could file both films under Sci-Fi or action if you absolutely insisted, they're so different in approach, themes and look that I'd have a hard time comparing them.

I just know I enjoyed the shit out of both.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.
