Faced with the daunting task of a follow-up to his critically-lauded 2012 box office sensation “The Avengers,” writer/director Joss Whedon faced a lift as heavy as Thor’s hammer. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), are all stars in their own right. You need to do more than just give them moments, you need to treat them like stars.
Whedon’s screenplay, which deserves an Oscar nomination, doesn’t just hit a home run, it hits a grand slam. Not only does “Ultron” achieve everything mentioned above, a number of surprise guests (at least for me) are also allowed to shine, as are two new super-powered individuals: Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen reuniting from last year’s “Godzilla”).
In the film’s best moment, The Avengers explain that they really aren’t fighting to SAVE THE PLANET. What they are risking everything for is a way of life exemplified by a Middle America farm with the star and stripes hanging proudly in the barn and next to the front door. After 15 years of Hollywood films portraying people as a disease, that tide is finally turning. Like Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy, humanism pulsates to great effect through “Ultron.”
Thor was in the lake to set up the next 5 years of the MCU. The Infinity Stones are everything! So far we know about 4 stones: the Tesseract, the stone in Guardians of the Galaxy, the Mind Gem now in Vision's forehead, and the stone from the Aether in Thor 2. There are 2 left. One, according to canon belongs to Dr. Strange who we won't meet for like 2 years or something like that, and the other... I don't know!It was really good. Non stop action and special effects were outstanding (as expected)
Some weird little sub plots going on. Never did get why Thor was in that lake. I liked the twins and was glad when she joined the fight with them.
All in all I think I liked the first Avengers better.
Did you stay till the end. Thanos ... "I guess Ill have to do it myself"
muahahaha!

Yeah they're not allowed to have any mention of mutants in these movies which is lame because they play such a huge role in the comics.I was shocked by how they handled the twins....It is the opposite as I remember the comic being. But then again in the comic they are the children of Magneto
sooner or later Marvel will get the rights back for X-Men and SpidermanYeah they're not allowed to have any mention of mutants in these movies which is lame because they play such a huge role in the comics.I was shocked by how they handled the twins....It is the opposite as I remember the comic being.

They already got Spidey and he's set to be in the movies. The X-Men are doubtful as Fox has 2 big movies planned for them. It seems that Marvel is going to be using the Inhumans to fill the role of having lots of regular people with powers.sooner or later Marvel will get the rights back for X-Men and SpidermanYeah they're not allowed to have any mention of mutants in these movies which is lame because they play such a huge role in the comics.I was shocked by how they handled the twins....It is the opposite as I remember the comic being.
