We saw Age of Ultron today

No spoilers outside the cut! Thank you, Internet, for keeping me ... well, as unspoiled as I was, but people were generally pretty good about it. :)

( Spoilers )

Okay, I have more to say about Age of Ultron

There are two things I wanted to talk about in more depth, one thing I liked and one I did not.

( The happy thing )

( The nonsquee part )

One more thing ...

... which is not actually about the movie. It's about the previews before the movie and the kids sitting next to me.

We were sitting next to a row of really young kids (grade school age). They were perfectly well-behaved throughout the movie -- I hardly even knew they were there. But one thing that got them excited was the preview for Batman v. Superman. Obviously they knew these characters well! They were chattering about it throughout the preview and at the end, I heard one of the kids -- a little girl, I think -- say firmly to the others, "This would never happen in real life because they're friends!"

You tell 'em, little kid.

(Also, we went to Avengers on a Saturday matinee and that movie, as long as it is, was FULL of captivated little kids. DC, why aren't you making kid-friendly movies? Your audience is RIGHT THERE!)
