Age of Disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (6 September 2015)

When Avengers Age of Ultron was released, due to some personal reasons, I couldn't watch it in theaters. I felt sad. When I finally did check it out on DVD a week back, I was disappointed and said..thank God, I didn't watch this in a theater.
What on earth were Joss Weldon smoking when he wrote this film. Frankly, he makes it a big mess considering that he had made the brilliant Avengers (Part 1) a few years ago.
The Avengers worked because it was pure comic book stuff. 6 superheroes make a team to stop the bad guy, Loki (deliciously played by Tom Hiddleston) who wants to rule over Earth. So simple yet so entertaining.
In Age of Ultron, Weldon tries to do Nolan and convert Avengers into a Batman Trilogy type movie which has action but is intellectual and makes the audience think. Alas, it falls flat because of the poor writing and Weldon is no Nolan.
Ultron is a great formidable villain and it is supported by the Maximoff twins. But the theme of Artificial Intelligence and the end of human race is a bit too much to digest. The end result left me sad and angry at Weldon because of the opportunity he has lost.
Its the performance of the cast and some action sequences that save the movie to a certain aspect. Hope, the next Avengers project will be as good as the 1st.
