The Avengers Age of Ultron (2015) review

Yes I have finally seen the highly anticipated Avengers age of Ultron and I must say boy does it live up to the hype.

The premise of this film sees Tony stark attempt to jumpstart a peace program in an attempt to save the world. But he ends up creating the evil AI nemesis Ultron who wants to eradicate all of humanity.

Now the first Avengers film proved that the ensemble cast of these big characters can really work and this film proved it even more. Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans are at their best in this film with their chemistry being fantastic and you can really see how this film leads to captain America civil war. You totally understand both of their points of view and you feel sorry for both of the characters and like both of their characters.

There are allot of important people to talk about in this film. First of all is Chris hemsworth as Thor, he was hilarious in this film and even though his story arc wasn't great it is really important for the future of these films. Scarlett Johansson is always great in the role of black widow and her character in this film shows why she is the biggest female badass in film. In the first Avengers film Hawkeye was massively underutilized but he was probably my favourite character of the film. They explored his character so much and he had the most comedic and best lines of the film which made me really happy to see. Of course the hulk is back in this film and he is more brutal then ever making him the coolest hulk we have seen on screen. Now to the new characters of the cast, firstly James spader was great as I expected as Ultron with his robotic villain being truly memorable and a bit more humorous then I expected but totally lived up to what I expected. Scarlett witch stole the show in this film her powers and character really made her awesome and a character that was impressive for the film. Quicksilver was also really cool in the film even though I'm not sure if he was as cool as the X-Men days of future past version of the character. And finally to the wildcard which was the Vision, Paul Bettany was fantastic in the role and madethe character completely awesome.

The story was better then I thought, when I saw the trailer I thought there was maybe too much going on but there wasn't really it all worked and felt like a dramatic character study. They enhanced the characters so much and also this film set up so much for the future of the marvel cinematic universe. I loved the implication of ai taking over the world and how it is a real problem in the film and the Avengers have to become a team in order to stop them.

Some people will complain about the over use of humour but I thought the blend of drama and humour really worked making all the characters relatable and making all the relationships seem real and relatable.

The action was all awesome and epic with everyone's powers and abilities being showcased in the perfect way to make the film look amazing.

Overall I enjoyed the first Avengers film so little bit more but this film is absolutely epic and definitely worth watching. Also if you are a fan of the universe then definitely stay for the mid credits scene.
