Lost the way

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2015)

Its obvious to compare between the first installment and the second. I found this movie visually confusing while the plot was plain and boring without much twist which you expect when Loki is there. The villain here is the AI Ultron whose algorithm is set at destroying the earth for instilling peace. That is confusing in itself. We have seen such movies where a robot or AI has gone bad a zillion times. The problem is the predictability of the story.
While it was nice to have a complicated little love story between The Hulk and Black Widow and an unexpected discovery of family of one of the Avengers. It seemed as if this movie was just a bridge between the upcoming movies. The fight sequences reminded me of I, Robot. So many things could have been possible with such powerful AI getting into the world wide web... He could have played God, he could have commanded the earth population. Instead he wants to delete earth from the face of the solar system.
The Avengers seemed like a bunch of high school students...party freaks, unsure, broken hearted and angry. There were too many things packed in each shot and it was difficult to focus on the characters.. like when two characters are talking there are 2-3 non participating lead actors strolling around or conversing amongst themselves or something non important is happening in the background. The background score is also changed. The new one is unimpressive. They should have stuck with the original score to maintain continuity.
All in all its a one time watch
