Review of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) by Eludiumq36 — 28 Nov 2015

First, this is a big big budget, popular franchise film so it's going to be anywhere from good to outstanding. This particular installment was the most CG action porn I've seen in quite some time. It was just so obvious that so much of this was done at green-screen, I'm not really sure the stars earned their pay! Seriously, I think all they had to do was run, jump, and roll a few times while the CG artists created all the mayhem around them.

They're the ones that should be walking away with millions. My other complaint is just with the DNA of the franchise itself, all the snarky remarks from Stark, and the little bits and quips from the others just cheapens the gravity of the situation.

Similarly, with the need to save/evacuate that whole city. Is there something in the comic book domain that says the Innocent Public must be preserved at all costs?! This may have been laudable in the '40s/'50s but in this Age of Terrorism we KNOW this to be different and it just wreaks of quaint naivety which again cheapens the overall experience.

I expect far more plausibility from a film with a nine-digit budget. So, good film, though far from great.
