A Massive Improvement From The First One

Rating: 6/10 (25 April 2015)

Going in to see this film I knew it was going to be something special. With Joss Whedon directing again and three new Avengers coming in to fight crime. There was no way this film was going to be a disaster.
Acting - 6/10
This movie has a bunch of extremely famous and well-known actors leading it, which means that the acting should be really good but unfortunately it isn't. I don't want to blame the actors themselves because in their solo movies they act extremely well. When the movie starts off the acting is almost on the same level as The Expendables acting, with cheesy one-liners that make you cringe constantly. Thankfully the acting does improve after the first scene has ended and the real story is about to begin. I think that it was either the directing or writing that caused this poor acting, so it's really hard to blame the actors themselves.
Writing - 6/10
There's nothing special in the writing just you'r usual poorly written Marvel superhero movie.
VFX - 8/10
The visual effects in this are nice to look at and obviously took a lot of work but there isn't anything ground breaking or spectacular in it. It closely resembles the visual effects of the Transformers which is disappointing because it reminded me of how terrible those movies were, but other than that they were great.
Characters - 9/10
The characters are extremely likable which has already been established in all of the other films and they don't really develop in this film at all which is disappointing. The film does however included probably the best villain in a Marvel film so far which is Ultron. Ultron is extremely menacing and if he was written properly he would have sent shivers down everybody's spines. The problem with Ultron is that Joss Whedon though that he should act goofy to add a comedic element which almost ruins his character all together and almost.... just almost stops him being as menacing as he is.
Story - 5/10
The story is extremely disappointing because guess what... the bad guy tries to blow up earth again!. Seriously they need to stop with this formula of blowing earth up, it's just plain boring. They even did exactly the same thing in the first Avengers!.
Overall - 8
A massive improvement from the first film but sadly isn't re- watchable. I recommend everyone to see it as it is a very fun fast- paced film that is enjoyable, but sadly doesn't have anything special added in. Go and watch it to make up you'r own opinion :)
