Avengers; Age of Ultron Review

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2015)

Avengers Age of Ultron was an amazing experience for me to watch. It's a little bit more fast-paced that other Marvel productions. It didn't have that much plot like in the first Avengers, but it definitely had a lot more of fun action-packed sequences to watch and was a lot funnier. I have never heard so much laughter come from a full-house movie theater audience watching a Marvel movie in my whole life. I think, personally, this movie would have had some more plot if it didn't have cut a 1/2 hour of footage. There were some pieces that would have made more sense with some more explanation in the movie. This movie did have a lot of characters,unlike other Superhero films, but it's an Avengers films; they need plenty of characters to interact with each other in order to have that 'Superhero Team-Up Feeling'. AoU was a little over advertised on TV with the millions of different TV spots, but I was still shocked by certain events in the movie, even though I saw too many trailers and previews and did some research of the film.
Was I happy walking out of the theater after the movie was over? Yes. I can't lie about that.
Was I satisfied? Not fully. There were some minor downers, but it's hard to make a sequel to a movie with so many characters and so many expectations. Even with the downers, it had some surprisingly awesome moments that made the movie entertaining.
Do I think this movie will help set up a big chunk of future titles in the MCU? Totally. 100%. You can see how this movie will help set up Phase 3 of Marvel and how some of the characters will act during the next phase.
Overall, I give this an 8 out of 10. Not bad for a sequel, but not the greatest sequel of all time. It's still a pretty good movie to watch. I'd recommend it.
