An AWESOME Disappointment

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2015)

This movie was meant to be the biggest movie, not only of 2015, but of all time thus far; however, it buckled under all that weight. But that's the thing about this movie, that, it is sooo big, that even under all that pressure, and under the awesome wielding of Whedon, a failure (in comparison to what it was meant to be) still managed to be the best blockbuster of 2015, outright and hands down.
Joss Whedon, like Christopher Nolan, is one hell of an intelligent director, and you sense it in his rendition. Age of Ultron didn't live up to it's potential fine; some scenes felt rushed or short lived, some fight sequences left you wanting, but, the story was fluent, the acting - quality, and the effects, stunning. Ben Davis, again was amazing, and overall, I love how enormous, this movie was. This is what you do, with a budget upwards of $250 Million Dollars.
The comedic aspect was over done, and it's obvious why; it is Marvel's modus operandi, not Whedons... Like how The Wachowski's fell into that trap with Jupiter Ascending. Whedon is a dark, and in-depth story teller, and I wish they would've let him be that.
Furious 7 and Jurassic World do not deserve a higher grossing than this marvelous Whedon work, but, it is what it is.
I want to give Age of Ultron 8/10, but it was meant to be 9.5/10, so, I'll give 7.9/10. Well done Whedon and team.
