Brilliant action but I preferred the first Avengers movie. 7/10

Rating: 7/10 (21 September 2015)

Review: I'm really in two minds about this films because I liked epic action scenes and banter between the characters but none of them have really moved on from the first movie. I did prefer the action in the first Avengers and the introduction of the Hulk was brilliant but he was hardly in this movie. Anyway, the movies is about the Avengers taking on the evil Ultron who says that he wants to save the world but he really wants to destroy it. I think that's about it really! There's loads of technical jargon throughout the movie, which really went over my head but there are some other great elements like the introduction of 3 new characters, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Vision. The attention to detail was spot on and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole movie but I still preferred the first film, mainly because of the shock factor. The fight between the Hulk and Ironman was one of the greatest scenes in the film and I enjoyed the scene when everyone was trying to pick up Thors mallet but I think my expectations were a bit too high. Anyway, it's definitely one to watch but I won't rate it as highly as the first movie! Enjoyable!
Round-Up: This franchise has definitely become the biggest of all time by taking the 4th and 6th place in the worldwide gross chart. Robert Downey Jr. also became the highest paid actor in 2014 with a massive $75million with Dwayne Johnson coming second with $52million. At 50 years old, Robert Downey Jr. has really turned his life around after being addicted to drugs and getting a lot of negative press. His career started in 1970 in a small movie called Pound and he hasn't turned back since. He was nominated for an Oscar in 1993 for his fantastic role as Chaplin but he lost out to Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman. He also was nominated for an Oscar for the best Supporting role in the extremely funny Tropic Thunder in 2009 which he also lost to the late Heath Ledger for his interpretation as the Joker in the Dark Knight. I've always loved his acting and his unique screen charisma and he was still able to pull out great performances while he was under the influence. With another Sherlock Holmes movie in the pipeline along with Captain America: Civil War and Pinocchio, I'm glad to see that he has turned his life around to become one of the biggest stars in the world. With that aside, this movie was directed by Joss Whedon who wrote the original Toy Story, Alien Resurrection, Titan A.E., Atlantis, Serenity and both Avengers movies. He also directed the Avengers movies along with Serenity and he has definitely changed cinema with his fantastic action scenes and detailed story lines.
Budget: $250million Worldwide Gross: $1.4billion
I recommend this movie to people who are into the Marvel Avengers franchise were the superheroes fight against evil to save the world. 7/10
