Review of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) by Agent314 — 01 May 2015

Age of Ultron is smorgasbord of action and visual delights. But don't think that's all you'll get to enjoy. Ultron also explores real, salient problems with poignancy. Consider the role of strong AI in our near future. This is not science fiction. The high points of this debate are covered with aplomb and, of course, intense visual feedback.

It's inevitable that this film will be compared to the first; however, after screening the first film a few weeks ago, it's clear that the negative comparisons are driven by nostalgia. This is not a muddled, over-hyped Michael Bay slugfest. It's a thoughtful and intense story of powerful humans, enigmatic aliens, and the dangers that threaten to corrupt us all.
