Review of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) by Emod L — 25 Jun 2016

WOW, I mean WOW. These movies are something else, so many things in such a small package, even if that package is 125 min long. Again, let's start with the bad. 1st, some of James Spader's dialogue was not totally understandable, he talks to low in some scenes and you can't hear him, which kind of sucks because he has a great talking voice, but his character isn't all that interesting, but not knowing that comics all that well, I'm sure there is more to them than I know.

Secondly, Robert Downey Jr again seems like he is not interested, I think he has finally got bored of playing the character even if he is probably the only one that could have ever taken on the Tony Stark role.

Thirdly, there are waaaaaaaay too many robots, I mean way to many, they just never end, they just keep coming and coming and coming, then they piss off the Hulk and that's then end of them. Fourthly, The Hulk, he didn't get much to do in this one and that makes me mad because he's my favorite, even Mark Ruffalo didn't have much either, which is kind of surprising because he's not all that bad in this role.

Now the good Definitely the writing, the jokes are top notch and perfectly timed, yes not all of them work but the ones that do work are great. The action is at an ultimate high. Michael Bay could learn a lot from Joss Whedon on how to blow things up and destroy thing, and also know when to stop, he doesn't overdue it like Bay does.

And then there is Scarlett Johannson, again she is very good in this role and still think she should get her own spin-off movie because her character is very interesting and entertaining even if it wasn't front and center here.

She just brings such personality to the character and isn't too bad to look at either so that's also not a bad thing. The story again is what it is and it's still a hot mess, but it's a fun mess.

This movie is going to make a ton of money and rightfully so because even though it isn't perfect, no one can say it's not entertaining. RECOMMENDED for all super hero fans and definitely fans of the first movie.

A worthy sequel.
