Welp... It's an Avengers movie

Rating: 6/10 (1 June 2015)

Avengers 2: Age of Ultron is a two-and-a-half-hour light and sound show with something resembling a plot. A lot of CGI robots get beat up, with no lasting effects on anything. Black Widow and Hulk have been ordered by the screenwriter to have a relationship, and they dutifully comply. Alan Shore from Boston Legal has robot lips and says a bunch of awful one-liners. Actually, everybody says a bunch of awful one-liners. Teamwork is the only way to save the day from whatever, and even though they've all been through this before, they decide to stop working as a team, in order to keep the movie going. Iron Man and the Hulk punch each other forever in a CGI sequence that could have been over in two minutes for all the effect it has on the plot. An establishing shot of the previous shot's location happens about halfway through the movie to allow for commercial breaks, just in case cable still exists by the time this movie leaves theaters.
As a light-and-sound show, Avengers 2: Age of Ultron is acceptable. I did not feel too bored looking at the screen for two and a half hours, and sometimes, I would see something on the screen that will probably make a pretty cool toy for someone who is into that. Me, I'd spend that money watching Fury Road again instead.
