Review of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) by Jazgalaxy — 06 May 2015

Super fun, better than the original and lacking the end-of-the-third-act boredom that almost all major films elicit from me in this age.

The mediocre and negative reviews this film recieves are from reviewers who I think are yet to get hip to the "shared universe" storytelling style that comic books have been using for over 100 years. The "movie" is dead. We are in the post modern era of film. Movies now ASSUME that you have seen the previous versions, are familiar with the characters and their relationships, and will see it's brother and sister films. The film doesn't need to explain everything and everybody. It also assumes you will see it multiple times. It does't care if you can't keep up. As a comic fan, I find this thrilling. There is no need for the cliche notes that films have struck for years just because they feel they "need" to.
