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

There is no doubt that Age of Ultron is spectacularly staged and a well crafted comic-book film (I will be dissecting those action sequences frame by frame once I get the blu-ray) but Whedon leaves me wanting more- I thought it would actually transcend escapist entertainment and compete in the same league as The Lord of The Rings, Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Dark Knight.

Ultron is hardly a memorable villain, he is given a few delicious lines of dialogue here and there but his overall motivations prove to be quite simplistic.
