Not the '27 Yankees, but still can whip into shape...

Rating: 7/10 (2 May 2015)

It's amazing how far Marvel has come and just how great Joss Whedon makes these films. Robert Downey Jr. is just a joy to watch as always and the rest of the team have almost surpassed his interest level. Now let's get something out of the way; this movie gets convoluted with the plot especially the Thor stuff, but it's all just set up for Thor: Ragnarok. Ultron is exceptionally played by James Spader, but for some reason I wish he was in the film just a little more. The Hulk and Black Widow romance was fine I guess, but I'm looking forward to Vision and Scarlet Witch. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were actually valuable to the film and I enjoyed them even though Quicksilver sadly dies. I loved the Civil War foreshadowing with Captain America and Tony Stark. Hawkeye was freaking amazing and can't wait to see him more because I love Jeremy Renner. Vision was brilliant and Paul Bettany was solid, I mean he picked up Thor's hammer(Cap almost does too, loved that comic reference). Andy Serkis was hilarious and awesome, can't wait for Black Panther. Ultron didn't have a big fight at the end with the Avengers, but he did his part and the film was still superb. Vision killing Ultron was so good because of the dialogue, "You are incredibly naïve", "Well, I was born yesterday." Excellent dialogue. Possible Planet Hulk set up, not sure. Same beats as the first, but it was amazing and is just as good as the first honestly. No Spider-Man end credits scene, but we get Thanos preparing to raise some hell in Infinity Wars.
