Marvel continues to amaze us

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2015)

Age of Ultron beautifully captures the essence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It helps Joss Whedon reiterate why people should watch movies that are a part of the MCU.
Age of Ultron is one film where everything comes together. Almost all loose ends from the Phase 2 films are brought together and it is knitted really nicely. Despite all the hate it is receiving from a lot of people about it not being a dark film, I think it's nice that it's not dark. The Avengers are these super-cool heroes with a lot of bonding with each other and coordination. Joss made sure that AoU lived up to that and the CGI he put in to complement that is just MARVELous.
The film gives insight into a lot of the topics that were left unexplored in the previous films and all the subplots do nothing but build on the characters very nicely (as opposed to what the usual reviews say). Obviously we do not get the thrill of seeing these characters get together for the first time ever and the small little differences that it creates and obviously the bar set by The Avengers (2012) was really high, Age of Ultron offers to show us how these characters have grown to like/dislike each other. It explores their deepened chemistry and yes, if not surpassing the bar set by the first film, it does meet it.
With a moral meaning hidden in the movie, with a lot of depth to justify the heroes' actions and kick-ass one-liners which tickled everyone's ribs, Age of Ultron is a masterpiece and I do hope that the follow-up Captain America Civil War lives up to the standards set by this movie.
