    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    I have been extremely pumped about Avengers: Age of Ultron since I heard about its release three years ago! The Avengers is my third favourite superhero of all time and I have loved almost ever Marvel Studios movie (maybe except for Thor: The Dark World and Iron Man 2) My expectations were sky-high and I purposely avoided trailer so I could go in with an open mind. Well, unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed by Avengers: Age of Ultron. However, it is still a pretty great movie.

    The action, as expected, is spectacular! Joss Whedon really knows how to film action sequences in eye-popping and exciting ways. The hulk-buster scene is not only the best fight scene in the entire movie, but it might be the coolest in all of the Marvel movies! The effects and CGI are nearly flawless, and are made better on a massive IMAX screen! The excitement and pure adrenaline in these scenes is pretty crazy.

    The returning characters are as loveable as ever, and the new ones make decent additions to the team. Even though he's not in this movie as much as the first, Iron Man is as sassy and funny as ever! Captain America, Thor and The Hulk are all fun to watch as well. Surprisingly, I found myself loving what they did with Hawkeye and Black Widow, expanding on their backstories and what they do outside of the Avengers. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are very entertaining, but aren't really anything special. (SIDE NOTE, their Russian accents were terrible) The Vision is quickly becoming my favourite Avenger, because the way this movie handles his character is perfect! He was easily the best part of the movie for me. And finally, last but not least, Ultron was absolutely incredible. He might just be my favourite Marvel villain. He's hilarious, sarcastic and truly evil. Almost every line out of his mouth is quotable.

    Speaking of quotes, the writing is incredible. I found myself laughing frequently and I was invested in all of the dialogue. The editing is well done, the 3D is not bad, the musical score, though not very memorable, works well and the pace is super fast for the whole film. The movie felt an hour shorter than it actually was.

    The story is where I found most of my many problems with Age of Ultron. Look, the story was very fun and entertaining, but I found it to also be predictable and some parts felt so corny. It felt like the plot was just scenes to set up the ending. Some of the plot was definitely rushed, especially the part where Ultron becomes evil. It sorta just happens.

    Another issue I had with Age of Ultron was that most of the fun of The Avengers is not apparent here. I wasn't very invested in the plot and the action, though gloriously filmed, never really had me on the edge of my seat. Not many characters were developed either.

    The Avengers: Age of Ultron is a great explosive blockbuster film with incredible character, great action and stellar special effects. Though it has many flaws, it is definitely worth seeing multiple time on the biggest screen possible! I feel like my opinion of it could change once I see it again!

    RATING: 8.25/10.
