I can’t believe I had to wait a whole week to see this movie but like finals and shit…so what are you gonna do. Just as like a thing, **SPOILER ALERT**
It’s hard to really compare Age of Ultron to the first Avengers because they are so different and in this case we didn’t need to spend half the movie setting up character relationships so that was a plus. Overall this movie was awesome, I’ve been waiting forever to see it and was dying of excitement when I saw the first trailer. However I did have a few issues with it so lemme just make you a Pros and Cons list:
Pros:
-VISION!!! I was about to pee myself waiting for Vision to finally be revealed and it was awesome and he was awesome.
-The Avengers actually made an effort to save innocent bystanders from all the destruction they caused
-Great action sequences, especially the final battle
-Awesome writing by Joss Whedon (i mean who doesn’t love Buffy, the guy’s a genius)
-The Hulkbuster
-Mid credit scene with Thanos & the Infinity Gauntlet
-Did Hulk shoot himself into space? Cuz that’d be awesome
Cons:
-Ultron was more sarcastic and jokey than menacing
-Too much background on Hawkeye and Romanoff (they’re supporting members for a reason, I don’t care that Hawkeye has a bunch of kids and lives on a farm when he’s not shooting people with arrows)
-Too much Jeremy Renner in general
-Not enough Cap/Thor
-Romancey scenes with Black Widow/Bruce Banner
-Where the fuck was Black Panther? They were even in Wakanda and everything
-Kind of glossed over the whole A.I. thing in the beginning
-Too many one-liners (especially by War Machine. Go away Don Cheadle, you were not relevant to the story)
Overall I’d give the movie an 8 out of 10, it was extremely entertaining and fun. However I have to say I am way more excited to see Captain America: Civil War next year because its basically gonna be an Avengers movie but like with way more awesome characters added in, e.g. Black Panther, Spiderman, & Winter Soldier. (only downside is no Thor or Hulk.)
Keep em coming MARVEL!!
