AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON (2015) ENG-HIN

After dealing with Loki and his planned Chitauri invasion, the Avengers are back together again. Team members Tony Stark / Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Steve Rogers / Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Dr. Bruce Banner / Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Clint Barton / Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) are off to stop the last remnants of the Hydra organization and their leader Baron Wolfgang von Strucker (Thomas Kretschmann), who’s been experimenting on humans and has found two gifted subjects in Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), and Pietro Maximoff / Quicksilver (Aaron-Taylor Johnson). With the mission accomplished, the Avengers revel in their success, only to find Ultron, (James Spader), a sentient mechanical robot created by Stark’s research into the power of artificial intelligence, to disrupt their moment of triumph. Stark, who was hoping to retire as Iron Man was developing a robotic strike force to protect the world, created Ultron with that purpose. However, Ultron, becoming self-aware, turns on his creator and Avenger companions and, seeing humanity as a flawed species, sets in motion plans for a global extinction of mankind; recruiting Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver into his villainous plan. Now Earth’s mightiest heroes face a worldwide threat, bringing forth personal challenges, tests of loyalty, and the titular dangers from Ultron’s master plan.
It’s a sure thing that Marvel Studios captured lightning in a bottle back in 2012 with The Avengers. The movie globally skyrocketed to worldly acclaim and generally high praise from viewers, critics, and die hard comic book superhero fans. Personally, I thought it was a great film, matching the uber hype that was placed upon its release and pleasing my inner comic boy fandom. Of course, after initial viewing of The Avengers, I began to wonder how Marvel Studios would topple this superhero team movie with its inevitable sequel. Many others thought of this notion as the long wait for The result is a film, while lacking the magic of the first movie and some oddities, is still immensely satisfying as a follow-up sequel.
With the advantage of already establishing its main characters in the first film, Age of Ultron hits the ground running, opening the feature up in mid-battle sequence of the Avengers storming Baron von Strucker’s forfeited stronghold in Sokovia. It’s a thunderous sequence (better than the opening in The Avengers) that swiftly reintroduces its main characters, showcasing their superpowers, and setting the action-packed blockbuster tone for the rest of the film. Return to the director chair is Joss Whedon, who helmed first film and serve as a consultant for other MCU’s Phase II saga movies. Whedon expands upon his first installment with a sequel that has barrage of action, but also great performances in a narrative storytelling of superheroes. Scenes like the battle between Iron Man’s Hulkbuster (codenamed Veronica by Tony Stark) and the enraged Hulk (which completely amazing to see on-screen) mirrors the opposite of a simple conversation scene with Tony Stark and Captain America talking of superhero ideologies. Personally, Whedon is a superhero at balancing action, drama, and comedy to a movie and Age of Ultron shows that. Speaking of action scenes, while the climatic end battle is great in the movie with heavy visuals, and gracefully camera works, it’s not as appealing as the battle in New York City was in the first Avengers film.
Where the idea of bringing together each franchise lead character into a feature film collaboration made The Avengers movie new and exciting, Age of Ultron somewhat losses that allure as the teaming up of powerful superheroes feels more like business as usual. It’s still a very entertaining piece and good wholesome comic book fun, but the wonderment of the first go-round is not as present in this sequel as it was before. There is also a lacking part in the middle act with the Thor’s story as the character sets out on his own to uncover the message in a vision he had. This side story seems choppy and edited down from its intended original cut. It makes you wonder why Whedon and his team choose to edit this particular scene. Did it give too much away for future plans or just simply too long. Whatever the reason, Thor’s subplot detour is a hodgepodge head scratcher.
