Avengers: Age of Ultron

Tonight I went to go see the second Avengers movie, Age of Ultron. To be completely honest, I was blown away. I've seen my fair share of action and superhero movies, but AoU takes the cake. It was incredible. Going into the movie I was expecting to be entertained. I thought I would laugh a little and enjoy the film overall. However, the sequel never lives up to the first film. Well, I was in for a surprise. AoU was better than the first film in so many ways. I spent every second with my eyes glued to the screen. I didn't want to miss a thing, and I'm pretty sure that is the fastest two hours and twenty-one minutes I have ever sat through.The one-liners, surprising romance, and amazing special effects and action scenes really made it one of the best movies I have seen in a while.

The first Avengers film was pretty funny, but Age of Ultron took it to a whole new level. I mean the first real line of the movie was Tony swearing and Cap telling him to watch his language (something that carried on throughout the whole movie). Even the most tense scenes of the movie were broken up by a quick comment from Stark that made the audience laugh nervously. Age of Ultron also seemed to appeal to a more adult crowd. Some of the jokes would either go over the heads of younger children or be really inappropriate for them. While the first Avengers movie was geared more towards families, this one is best enjoyed by those old enough to actually understand it.

The special effects in AoU were amazing. I mean to begin with, Hulk. The other guy had facial expression and movement that he has never had before. Then there's "Veronica" or the Hulk-buster armor. Watching the fight scene between Iron Man and Hulk was an experience. I can't wait for the movie to come out on DVD/Bluray so I can watch the special features and hopefully find out how they did it. As if these amazing CGI creations weren't enough, they pulled off the most amazing robot I've ever seen, Ultron. James Spader's voice was perfect for the character, but the crazy suit is really what made it. The way the mouth moved in time with the words was incredible. Overall, the special effects were incredible. I've never seen anything that can compare to them before. 

 

Okay so final thing, but before I get to it, I need to do a PSA. Mark Ruffalo. He is the most underrated actor in this movie. The way he showed Bruce Banner's intense internal conflict and emotional struggles throughout the film was amazing. He just made it seem so real and so relatable. I'm so annoyed they aren't giving him his own movie. Like for once, they have a chance to make a good Hulk film and they are just passing it up. I'll be honest though, I have ulterior motives for wanting a Hulk movie. Natasha and Bruce. OMGGGG! When Natasha was admitting her feelings for Banner, I just about died. It makes so much sense! Looking back, they have had chemistry since the first time they met in Calcutta. When they had their confrontation/conversation in the bedroom in Clint's house, I realized I had a new OTP. Natasha opened up to Bruce in ways she wouldn't to anyone else. The fact that they both can't have kids and that they both opened up with that was kinda cute/perfect. I'm pretty mad that their romance was left in jeopardy at the end of AoU, but I'm sure it will be resolved in future movies. It better be....

So yeah. Long story short, that movie was the bomb!
