Avenge it again!!

The Avengers broke box office records and hooked millions of people onto the superhero genre. Now, Avengers: Age of Ultron is continuing to do the same. Ultron focuses on the evil AI named, you guessed it, Ultron. He challenges the Avengers and tears them apart, so they have to reunite to take down this ever growing threat. There's a lot wrong with this film, and a lot right too. To start with, it perfectly grasped the exciting, colorful feeling we get from the comics, though it felt like it lost a bit of seriousness that it could have used. Ultron, voiced brilliantly by James Spader, is ever threatening and seemingly unstoppable, or at least that's how it should have been. I didn't like the way he joked around and acted like a normal, awkward human. It took away from his powerful and dangerous roots and made him a joke. His plan seemed inconvenient, too, as it would be so easy for a computer connected to the whole world's network to launch all of earth's nuclear missiles. We were introduced to a number of new heroes, all of which I was a huge fan of. I don't need to go into them, but they're all very likable and had strong bonds to each other and the rest of the team. It was a one-of-a-kind experience, with all these colorful characters fighting and making an awesome team based off of their own special selves. One way I judge the quality of a team up movie is I ask myself if I'd enjoy a solo movie of each of the team members. Of course, we've seen a solo Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor, so the only ones left are Hawkeye, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Vision. The answer is yes. Definitely yes. This movie is an over-the-top thrill ride. It's full of witty humor and some of the best action I've ever seen on film. What it lacks in suspense and tensity, it makes up in fun and nerdiness. It perfectly recreates the mood and spirit of the first with new characters to create a beautiful (possibly not the best use of the word) joy ride that entertains anyone. A+
