Ultron swings from being scary, to sarcastic, to vulnerable, to righteous. The action is still frenetic with lashings of explosions and slow-mo punch ups whilst villain, Ultron, suffers from the lack of audience connection that can’t be avoided with a ‘robot’ villain. Where ‘Age Of Ultron’ succeeds most is in its quieter moments of reflection and dialogue, such as Captain America shaming Iron Man, or Black Widow opening up to Bruce Banner, or even Hawkeye’s reflections on his contributions. The two new characters (‘borrowed’ from the X Men franchise) suffer from not enough screen time, but they allow the established characters to show a bit more depth (with Hawkeye in particular showing a previously unseen nurturing side). Writer and Director, Joss Whedon has ensured that the character development is still well-rounded with further back story, humorous banter, genuine weaknesses and ever-present fears. Genre: Fantasy, Action, Comic Book REVIEW – ‘AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON’Īfter the humongous critical and commercial success of ‘Avengers Assemble’, the inevitable sequel was always going to struggle to compare, but the fact that ‘Avengers: Age Of Ulton’ doesn’t reach the same level shouldn’t be held against it! Whilst the balance isn’t quite as finely tuned as before, the second outing for the Avengers collectively is still a hugely entertaining, action packed and fun movie. Starring: Robert Downey Jnr, Scarlett Johansson, James Spader But with an enemy as all-powerful as Ultron, they will need to work together harder than ever… Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015) – Director: Joss Whedon With new allies, one of which can manipulate minds, the Avengers are heavily rocked by doubts and suspicion. Ultron – an artificial intelligence programme created by Stark – takes on physical form and decides the best way to protect humanity is to destroy the Avengers.
Avengers: Age Of Ultron – Acting with good intentions doesn’t always work out, as Tony Stark (aka ‘Iron Man’) finds out when trying to create the perfect defence.
