My Avengers age of Ultron Review

My Avengers age of Ultron Review

Intro: If you think Iron Man 2 suffers from setups this movie wants you to hold its beer. 

Avengers Age of Ultron: The movie takes place after Winter Soldier and the Avengers come together to capture the remaining Hydra agents. Meanwhile Tony/Iron Man is working on a peacekeeping drone program called Ultron, something goes wrong and Ultron wants to eliminate the human race. So, the Avengers have to stop him before it's too late. 

This movie is disappointing, part of the reason why is because it wasn't an improvement over its predecessor. The movie tried to have a better story and an interesting adversary, but the creators wasted this movie's potential. What also hurt this movie is the world-building and advertising future marvel movies, this really ruined the ending. Two new characters have a vendetta against one of the Avengers. They had a chance to get their revenge, but they didn't take it, why!?! 

There is another scene where the Avengers saw their fears and the writers don't do much with it, this bugs me because we see that it affects them. Also, they did something that could help them stop Ultron, it was big deal and yet they don't have a strong reaction about it what gives? Other problems I have with this movie are I don't find some of the jokes funny, references to past movies, not using two other comic book characters and the conflict between Ultron and the Avengers isn't flashed out. The movie would have been better if it was longer because it lacks focus. 

Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow is humanized in this movie due to her relationship with Bruce Banner/The Hulk, plus we learn more about her backstory. My gripe with her is that this relationship came out of nowhere. I'm surprised that she doesn't have a romantic relationship with Hawkeye. 

Speaking of Hawkeye he's the glue of the team and he provides humor.  

Nick Fury doesn't do much in the movie until the last act, he just reassures the Avengers. 

Bruce Banner/The Hulk has embraced the idea of using the Hulk as a weapon. Because of that he's more comfortable around the team and can help them with using his brain. Despite all of that he's still timid about the idea of being with Natasha. 

Tony Stark/Iron Man Is still obsessed with protecting the world from future threats, that's understandable because he's also driven by his love for Pepper Potts. I wish the writers would set up Ultron in Iron Man 3. I don't understand why he didn't use Jarvis for the drone's A.I. instead of creating a new one. If the creators did that it would add some emotional weight to whether or not Tony should destroy him because he isn't happy with how this program turned out? 

Ultron (the main villain.) is like Tony Stark as far as having his characterization. This bugs Ultron to the point where he throws a temper tantrum. I like his motivation he wants to kill mankind because he wants it to evolve, this involves mass extinction of humans and making life artificial. Basically, the dispute between the Avengers and Ultron is emotions vs logic, like I said the Avengers didn't question his motivation or how they feel about evolution or mass extinction? What bothers me about Ultron is that his body is too fragile and he's not as dangerous as he could have been. 

Here are good things about this movie. The fighting among the Avengers is done a lot better than the last movie and their interactions are great. The last act makes the Avengers look like heroes because it involves them saving people. The movie doesn't feel like it's centered on Tony Stark/Iron man. The movie can be funny at times. All in all this movie was a missed opportunity due to the setups and promotions of other films. I can kind of forgive that because this movie had to cover a lot of ground. I would recommend this if you want to see if this movie works better than the last one or not.
