Uneven

Rating: 7/10 (2 May 2015)

Marvel's The Age of Ultron. The big superhero movie of the summer is a tad of a disappointment. I was not a fan of the first film as I felt that film was underwhelming and the ending was a complete copy of Transformers: Dark of The Moon, but unlike the first film the story does not flow evenly like the last film. The film felt like it was all over the place like you were watching random scenes thrown together. I truly believe they pushed for more constant eye candy then an actual coherent story. There are some things I really enjoyed. I liked Ultron the most. Ultron was an awesome villain in the film. Part of me was actually rooting for Ultron. Vision was awesome as well. His look was immaculate and he had a great screen presence. Both were strong characters and helped the film. I also liked how Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch looked, but I hate how they altered their origin story and their accents were God awful. You could hear them struggling to keep the accent especially Olsen. Olsen sounded like she was going back and forth between sounding like an American and a Russian.
I also did not like the love story sub-plot between Black Widow and The Hulk. There was no build up to the romance between the two. Nothing was setup up in the previous films and they made the romance feel like it was just thrown together at the last second because they had no idea how to keep the audience's attention between the action scenes. There were times you could tell they were shortcut the story for 3D action. Overall I was disappointed like I was with the last Avengers film. I felt the same way when I left the theater. I truly believe the writers and director could not handle a big cast of superheroes unlike the X-Men films. I loved Captain America: Winter's Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy, But the Avengers have been disappointing. 6 out of 10.
