Must have seen a different movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2015)

It sounds like most of the people who reviewed this movie didn't care much for it. I don't know if I'm abnormally easy to please (I certainly don't think so) but I loved this movie. I thought it was fantastic. I thought the humor that was present throughout the movie was true to the characters and added some personality to what could have been a very dark & dreary movie. I thought that there were some great small moments of character development (let's be honest, we can't be expecting every one of the dozen main characters on screen to undergo a dramatic personal growth in this type of ensemble effort) and there is just enough of a story (not a complicated one) to bring the impressive action sequences together nicely. In fact I think one of the strengths of the movie was the character interactions/dialog. I'm admittedly a fan of the way Joss does that in just about all of his projects (I know some are not) but the little hints (some subtle, some not) & moments of reading in between the lines does a lot more character development than some want to give credit for. If I were to judge by the theater's reaction, everyone seemed to come out of auditorium thoroughly impressed. There was laughter, gasps, oohs and ahhs all throughout the movie I'm sure there are some folks who genuinely didn't like parts of this movie, but it seems that at least some of these bad reviews are coming from kids who are just too cool for school. I thought Joss did a great job and that in many ways Age of Ultron was the equal to and in some moments surpassed the first movie. I had read some of the reviews before seeing the film and was resigning myself to maybe being disappointed or the movie not living up to my own expectations. I ended up loving every second of it. I felt like a kid in a candy shop for 2.5 hours and couldn't find a bad thing to say. I guess everyone has a different take on it, had different expectations for what sort of movie it would be or what the characters would be doing... but I for one, couldn't recommend this movie any higher.
