Sure, and Marvel has none of that either.
Modern technology allows people to watch whatever they want Minio.... Someone wants to watch nothing but silents because they feel that sound ruined cinema? Yeah, they can watch silent films all day long if that's what floats their boat...

Anyway, why would anyone want to watch American movies like this when there are American films like this:

And like this:



Film as art, film as a language. Auteurs that actually TELL you something, auteurs that actually SHOW you something. Marvel tells you nothing but "eat, watch, and forget". It shows you absolutely NOTHING. It gives you NOTHING. It's NOTHING.

Plenty filmmakers have ideas, but few have a thought I read somewhere. Marvel doesn't even have good ideas.
I'm watching Freddie Steps Out on Tubi and the baby is the best actor in it.
My review of Age of Ultron:

A fun, satisfying superhero movie. Brimming with action and enjoyable performances, it is even better than the original. Could use more humour but still a blast.

My 2016 opinion on Age of Ultron:

What a total disaster! Everything is so bad. The jokes are unfunny and pathetic, the acting is like the actors weren't even trying, the non-stop action boring as hell, the cinematography is unimaginative and boring, etc. The movie is all over the place, editing makes it really chaotic. Clocking at 141 minutes, it was such a chore to get through.
