Avengers: Age of Ultron D Handout 3.2Handout Movie Review: Avengers: Age of Ultron (Excerpt) By Cary Darling It’s perhaps appropriate that the summer movie season kicks off with Avengers: Age of Ultron. It checks all the right boxes: It’s long, loud, larded with effects and sporadically witty, and it sets up events for yet another sequel. What it doesn’t have is any sense of going above and beyond. Unlike some other entries in the Marvel universe—the first Iron Man, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, or even the original Avengers—it doesn’t transcend its boundaries. Fans of the franchise will be pleased, but those looking in from the outside of comic-book culture may find themselves also looking at their watches. Source: Darling, C. (2015, April 29).

SAMPLE THINK-ALOUD [FOR TEACHER Lesson 3. Noticing Key Details: REFERENCE ONLY] Practice in Miniature Movie Review: Avengers: Age of Ultron (Excerpt) By Cary Darling It’s perhaps appropriate that the summer movie season kicks off with Avengers: Age of Ultron. It checks all the right boxes: It’s long, loud, larded with effects and sporadically witty, and it sets up events for yet another sequel. What it doesn’t have is any sense of going above and beyond. This is a direct statement: Good movies go above and beyond, and this review directly states that this movie just doesn’t do that. Unlike some other entries in the Marvel universe—the first Iron Man, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, or even the original Avengers—it doesn’t transcend its boundaries. Here the author is making another direct statement: Good movies transcend their boundaries and go beyond the expected. Fans of the franchise will be pleased, but those looking in from the outside of comic-book culture may find themselves also looking at their watches. Source: Darling, C. (2015, April 29).

  • Will Be Metal Encounter Rules
    WEB ULTIMATE ENCOUNTER CORE RULES In an Ultimate Encounter, players form a Crisis Team with multiple squads to battle a deadly threat in unique narrative missions called Encounters. Each of these Encounters specifies the number of players as well as the squad size for each player on their setup card. CRISIS TEAM Whenever the rules refer to the Crisis Team, it means all players that are part of the Crisis Team. If the Crisis Team must make a choice, players should work together to choose the most beneficial option for the team. The members of a Crisis Team are always working together and should help each other during the game! COSMIC THREAT The Cosmic Threat is represented by the opponent of the Crisis Team. The Cosmic Threat player’s goal is to complete their objectives and/or to thwart the plans of the Crisis Team. GAME ROUNDS ENCOUNTER RULES ALL WILL BE METAL Ultimate Encounters do not use the normal rules for game rounds.
