2015
Dir: Joss Whedon
Runtime: 2 hr 21 mins
Rated: PG-13
Synopsis: When Tony Stark attempts to create a peacekeeping program call Ultron, to protect the Earth, the AI becomes self aware and enacts a disastrous plan. It's up to Earth's mightiest heroes to stop him.
Originally I watched this I believe two or three times in theaters. Loved every minute of it but after going back and really watching the film there's a handful of things that I can nit pick at now. All things considered on where the MCU has gone and finally ended it's a really important part to completing the story.
Pretty much instead of using the standard story of Ultron like from the comics in which Dr. Hank Pym is the creator of Ultron the story uses the aftermath of what happened in prior years in New York from the first Avengers film to propetuate Tony Stark into thinking that Earth needs a peacekeeping program to protect the Earth in the case that another foe from space comes down to attack the Earth again. Consumed by wanting to protect the Earth and the idea that a program will be able to stop such a thing Tony stops at nothing to try and create Ultron. In doing so he accidentally creates a self aware program that realizes that the only threat to the Earth is people.

There's a few choices that could have been made here that I guess would have helped with the film. The storyline itself has a few moments that are a bit of a plot hole but not too much to where it no longer makes sense. I would have had Alan Silvestri do the score how it usually is in Avengers films. Don't get me wrong I like Danny Elfman but I feel like Avengers films aren't really his cup of tea. Of course all characters are portrayed rightfully with Marvel being able to re obtain all the original actors for the franchise. The element between Hulk and Widow I suppose is needed because in later movies it plays more into Hulk's story. I guess it's just kind of weird how they went about it. A little unexpected but you can tell that since the first film and the Avengers working together over time that the "lullaby" has been mastered now. I think my favorite part about this film is the villain, after seeing this so many times Ultron has really became one of my favorite MCU villains.
I already own this movie, def a recommendation for anyone trying follow the Infinity arc because it plants some pretty important stuff throughout the film including introduceing new characters.
3.5/5 a high 3.5 at that.
