like most of it but final battle gets a little boring

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2016)

The Avengers go to Sokovia to take on Strucker and Hydra to recover Loki's scepter. Strucker has been experimenting on twins Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. The twins have a score to settle with Tony Stark. Wanda warps Tony's mind. He uses the gem from the scepter to create Ultron, the ultimate shield for humanity. Instead, Ultron has evil plans that would devastate humanity. Wanda's mind-meddling forces the Avengers to regroup at Hawkeye's farm. Later, Wanda has visions of Ultron's plan and turns against him. Tony uses JARVIS to create another AI which results in Vision. Together, the new and old Avengers join to battle Ultron.
Joss Whedon's jokey style commences right from the start. It would have been more exciting to start with a less jokey action sequence. I like most of the movie. I like the banter. Ultron could be given more time to develop his character. I actually like Hawkeye's farm. Thor's visions could be more compelling. I like Blackwidow and Hulk's relationship. I love the HulkBuster. I like almost everything but the final act doesn't have the excitement. The action gets a little boring. It's a lot of robotic fodder getting punched. It's a solid superhero movie but a step below the best.
