A Visual Spectacle

Rating: Null/10 (3 May 2015)

Avengers: Age of Ultron exceeded my expectations for a follow-up to The Avengers. I did not expect near as much action as we see in this film. All our favorite superheroes are utilized and each shine. I continue to love the use of humor in a film that could easily be dark and tense. In fact, I need that humor to keep me engaged, and Marvel understands my sense of humor well.
Spader's Ultron is hilarious to me, but still evil enough to be understood as the bad guy in this classic good guys vs. bad guys superhero story. I appreciate the further development of Clint aka Hawkeye and an attempt to further develop Nat and Bruce, however it seems possible to me that perhaps Natasha was using her spy skills to try and keep Bruce with the team and may have only been saying what she felt Bruce wanted to hear. Just my thought on that aspect of the film.
The visual effects were the best I've ever seen in a movie. It was so crazy to keep up with everything, hence my calling the movie a visual spectacle. I rate this 9 out of 10 stars. Definitely will rewatch this fun movie!
