I loved action packed movies a lot and I sometimes lose interest to the movie that I'm watching that is if the action isn't flowing well with the components from lighting, editing to the camera angles. You may think that it may sound weird but I don't want to watch an action movie where the camera isn't flowing but rather it takes a scene then out of nowhere another scene comes into play. The director Joss Whedon directed this film and other including "The Avengers", "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" which where intended to amuse the audiences from all of the action and amazing graphic editing and amazing camera work that looks like as if there was just one camera filming the whole time and you as the audiences personally spectating from the action is taking place. Action movies varies when it comes to the story line and what other genre it collides with. In most movies that I've have seen have good cameras at scenes but in most however are very little used. I get upset because most movies have the capability to achieve more from their camera work and form better angles. This movie had a lot of really good angles. (Spoiler) The film starts of with the team fighting against the enemies and win as usual. When the team celebrates their victory, they accidentally unleash a powerful enemy named Ultron that somehow cam the cyber world. Ultron came out when the team were celebrating and the enemy downloaded itself into a robot that was built from Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) . When Ultron came to up close, he attacked severely with other robots which he summoned to attack the team. The team lost and they retrieved because they weren't prepared for what happened to them. Upon deciding on how could've they let that happen, they start to turn against each other assuming it was each others fault. When they start to realize that going against each other won't help anything, that's when the team started to suite up and go to the war the verse against Ultron and the enemies he summoned. After an intense battle with Ultron, the team (not surprisingly) defeated Ultron and reclaimed their victory. In the beginning of the movie, When the team versed against their enemies their was a clean continues good clean flow with each individual fighting the enemies while helping each other fighting with the quantity of enemies. Their was clean continuity editing with each character fighting with the characters fighting one enemy and then fighting another enemy from a different angle. The angle and the height matched perfectly as the characters fought from ground level and fighting on rooftops. The camera was at a good range of distances as the characters fought from one enemy to the next exposing them and the enemy and a little of the background, the long shots. At the above picture, when the characters lined at a perfect angle, it exposes all of them at a long shot along with Hulk and Iron Man being exposed at medium shot.
Another Part of what I liked was the fight between Hulk and Iron Man. When they fought each other, the camera would go back and forth with each other at a continuous motion when they would go back from the strike and they themselves would hit the others person. The camera would go continuously from long shot to full shot and sometimes to medium shot. There was constantly different shots happening while it's giving a nice flowing and continuity editing with the angles of the camera and the distances.
In my opinion, What I enjoyed about this movie was not the generic exposition to rising action to climax and resolution in a predictive manner but whether I enjoyed the different types of camera angles and the different type of camera shots. The editing was flawless and caught my attention to the movie. It was like seeing an illusion image, it caught my attention to the movie and wondered what other camera cool shots and angles the director was going to bring to the plate. I recommend this movie to those who on behalf love action, superhero movies but also like to see really good camera angles and shots the editing provided for a flawless and continuous motion with the scene. All in all, I think this movie was one of the greatest that's associated the camera but the story was as always generic.
