Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Platypuschow Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford play a young couple who shortly after the attack on New York (Avengers 2012) come across an alien weapon. They proceed to use this to rob banks but Shield is on their tale.Featuring a couple of semi-recurring characters from the television series Agents Of Shield (2013) this well cast little 8 minutes is fun enough but you need to go in remembering these things aren't exactly stories.They are more like scenes ripped out of films, thankfully usually pretty passable ones.The fact this fits in so well with the Marvel universes continuity really helps as does Caplan, Bradford and the two Shield agents.Passable stuff that can be used as filler inbetween actual feature films.The Good:Great soundtrackLizzy CaplanAgents Of Shield cast membersThe Bad:Really not much to itThings I Learnt From This Movie:An assistant who cannot make coffee should be fired on the spotAfter last seeing Caplan in True Blood I almost didn't recognise her clothed
jhudson1725 This quick clip after the Avengers is actually kind of interesting. It is short so not a lot of stuff is happening but it actually is when you think about it.The new characters in Claire, Ben and Agent Blake are interesting enough but I am glad the Sitwell was able to sort of prove that he is a capable physical agent.Lizzy Caplan and Titus Welliver are a joy on any screen and they hope they can make an appearance.What really makes this interesting to me is that there are people in the world, using alien technology for their own benefit. This is most likely happening a lot around the world and due to this, Damage Control , an entity created to literally clean up messes, can be introduced.+ Caplan and Welliver + Sitwell does more + People get alien technology could be a problem in the future + Damage Control? - Not long enough7.8/10
henric-andersson At first I thought this was just another "ride the hype" after The Avengers production but gladly I was mistaken. The story is tight and the runtime 12 min, but I learned today that short is not always a bad thing. The effects are cool and rates high, the acting is really good and the diversity between the persona's of the actors works in harmony. What can I say except it made my cup of coffee in the morning taste a lot better.The only problem is how to fill 10 lines of review of a short very good movie, when there literally ain't nothing to complain about.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) This 11-minute short films is a decent little spin off from 2012's highest grossing movie, The Avengers. It's by no means bad or great, but tells us a nice little side-story about a couple (I thought the guy looked pretty similar to Colin Farrell) robbing banks with an incredibly fancy shotgun.The two don't seem really evil or sinister, just disappointed one time too many and consequently drifted into crime. The agent at the hunt for the gun manages to confront the couple at a hotel, tricks them with the help of some noisy bass music and finally arrests the two after a short shootout. However, he seems to share my interpretation of Marvel's Bonnie and Clyde motivations, so he shows some heart, gets them decent clothing and employs the two as government agents. There's more of these one-shot short films and watching them makes a good enough way of bridging the time gap till the next superhero from the Avengers bunch lands in our cinemas.
