Avengers
Age Of Ultron 10/10
This
will contain spoilers. I was thinking of giving this a 9 but that
would mean that I thought Avengers: Age Of Ultron was really good but
that there was something that made it not worthy of a 10. As of right
now I can't think of anything that would make me do that. This movie
was so damned good. On paper if you tried to tell me everything that
happens in this movie I would say it was not possible. The movie
would have to be four hours long, ignore most of the characters, or
just be a mess. This was a little less than two hours and managed to
introduce new characters well and make past ones shine more than they
ever have.
This
movie starts off with a bang. If you showed up five minutes late you
missed one of the coolest action scenes ever. Its everything you
would want as a comic book fan or a fan of these movies. The Avengers
are on a country called Sokovia where they have found Loki's scepter.
Inside this base they are raiding are Pietro and Wanda Maximoff aka
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. For stupid legal reasons they can't
use those names.
After
they get it Tony Stark played by Robert Downey Jr. and Bruce Banner
played by Mark Ruffalo realize that there is something in the gem that
could have them continue a sentient being program called Ultron.
Banner is reluctant to do it but it sounds like Stark is tired of
fighting and wants to make a system that will fight threats and
aliens for them. Banner and Stark try to get it working but its not
happening. Later JARVIS begins taking to the Ultron program which is
awake. It quickly kills JARVIS and inserts itself inside an old Iron
Man suit and ruins a circle jerk the Avengers were having. Ultron is
voiced by James Spader and he is so damned cool and creepy.
The
Avengers along with War Machine just stand there watching this drunk
ass robot stumble out of the lab and mentions that it killed JARVIS
before it attacks everyone. Ultron thinks that the team is doing it
wrong and that a huge chunk of humanity needs to be wiped out.
They
chase Ultron back to Sokovia where it is gathering up Vibranium which
is the material Stark's father worked on to make Captain America's
shield. Ultron hooks up with Pietro and Wanda because they want Stark
dead because when they were kids one of the bombs he created killed
their family. The Avengers end up having all of their minds jacked up
by Wanda and relive parts of their past and future which just wrecks
them all in different ways. Hawkeye is having none of it.
One of
the coolest parts of this is when we get to see Black Widow's past.
Payed by Scarlett Johansson this is the best she has ever been in
these movies. She tells Banner, who she now has a thing for, about
her upbringing to be an assassin since she was a child. It sucks. Her
childhood sucked. When you see this you get why in previous films she
wondered if she could ever have a clear conscience. She had some of
the best fights and acting scenes.
Hawkeye
played by Jeremy Renner was also cool in this. He showed sides of
himself that no one knew existed and pointed out that it was crazy
that he was doing what he does. As human as Captain America is he has
powers. Hawkeye is just a tough guy with arrows and he points that
out.
Ultron
begins working on a better body for himself which he almost completes
before he is attacked by the twins. Wanda reads the programs mind and
is like “We didn't sign up for Earth destruction!” and they and
the Avengers get the robot. Back at the Avengers place Captain
America is pissed that Stark and Banner are trying to work on it
again. Thor shows up and blasts the robot with power to bring it to
life.
Its
the fucking Vision! He is voiced and played by Paul Bettany who has
done the voice for all the movies. Its awesome. He starts kicking ass
and quickly calms down. The team isn't sure if they can trust him but
they shut up after he picks up Thor's hammer and hands it to him.
Earlier everyone but Black Widow tried and could not move it. Cap
moved it a tiny bit which worried Thor.
There
is a ton of other cool stuff in this movie. I am sitting her trying
to write it all out and there is so much left you just need to see it
for yourself. I made sure to stay away from spoilers so a lot of
things in this were complete surprises to me. This was so hard to do
because I have the internet. I read how Entertainment Weekly and Lego
spoiled the movie with pictures. I missed those.
There
is a lot about this that I didn't mention including some other
characters that appear. I think if I had any complaint it would be
Thor. I am just not digging him but it isn't enough to change my
opinion about this movie. Go see it along with the rest of the world.
