There’s a very simple and straightforward story in this movie, involving an artificially intelligent robot named Ultron, that wants to dismantle the Avengers. The plot may actually be too simple for some people and may feel a little unfulfilling, however that’s where the many scenes that focus more on the characters come to play. Those character moments gives this movie the underlying depth it needs that makes the experience complete, and only gives some welcome growth to this franchise.
The characters and the actors playing them do feel like old friends that you get to join in an adventure with, and that in itself makes this automatically enjoyable to watch. James Spader as Ultron is just about perfect to me as well. Of course there will be those who only want to see the super hero action, and this movie delivers in that regards. Each character gets their obligatory hero moments and snappy dialogue, which are always fun. With that said, there is a significant bit of downtime from the action somewhere around the middle of the film, that some might actually find to be a chore to go through.
I don’t know if I would describe “Avengers: Age Of Ultron” as a great movie, the way a lot of people describe the previous film. It is definitely entertaining and expands on it’s world building with new characters and new situations though. I suppose it just may not be ambitious enough for some people to give it credit for being just a solid action adventure super hero team comic book movie. We’re all still in for the next installment either way.
LOVED IT enjoyedititsokayitsmehitsterrible
