By the end of this review, I can finally figure out one word to sum this up. The CGI effects were absolutely incredible, and there are shots in the trailers that would reveal his plan if they were extended by a few seconds, so keep an eye out. When Ultron's plans were finally revealed, everything turned amazing. But there's one last thing that makes me feel at least a bit satisfied with the movie, and that was the last act. Remember Scarlet's gut-wrenching scream, or maybe Ultron saying "There's no strings on me" in the teaser trailer? Well guess what? Nowhere to be found. I wanted a dark, gritty, intense, heart-breaking, half-horror movie! The advertising for this movie is false, almost to the point where I could sue.
Ultron was nothing like he was in the teaser trailer that got me hyped, nor was the movie. If I can say one thing, it's that the action sequences were fantastic, and they're the only things that hold this movie up. I kept twitching in my seat various different times. After that, the movie becomes kind of dull. But I guess I could say that it doesn't translate to screen very well. If this was how it was in the comics, then I suppose I can't really complain much. Can anyone explain to me how this invisible force can suddenly SPEAK inside a whole load of technological material? I don't know. After the opening, everything goes downhill, at least SLIGHTLY. I adored Scarlet Witch and her powers, at least in the parts that she's ACTUALLY IN. Considering they're new characters, and considering one is in an upcoming movie and the other dies, they should have gotten more development. Unfortunately, they get tossed a side a bit. I'm not American, y'know) characters in this movie. These ended up being my favourite (Yes, I'm spelling it right. The Avengers are introduced for the sequel, and so are two new characters: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Age of Ultron opens to a fine start -in fact, an amazing start- with a fresh, intense, action-packed sequence. But things like 'good' or 'amazing' are too crazy to use. I won't use 'eh' because that's a bit too vague, and I think it's a bit better than that. There's no one word that can some up this movie. I only wish it hadn't been such a colossal disappointment for me. I see that a lot of people liked it and I'm happy that they did. I could go on, but my heart is still aching and I don't want to talk about it anymore. I would have liked the film to focus on a smaller group of characters and their relationships with one another, instead, we got a who's who of the entire Marvel universe leaving a lot to be desired. 6) Character Overload - There were WAY too many characters to do any of them any justice. Plus, he's supposed to be some kind of AI but he's constantly cracking off stupid one-liners and making facial expressions that I thought were inconsistent with what and who he was supposed to be. 5) Ultron - This guy appears out of nowhere and is woefully underdeveloped. 4) The Humor - There were WAY too many jokes in this movie, and that wouldn't have been all that bad if so many of them weren't eye rollers. We're basically told by the script writer that these two people are in love, but never are we SHOWN that they're falling in love. That pretty much sums up this whole film 3) The Love Interest - Totally underdeveloped. 2) Plot? - The movie opens with our heroes in the middle of a battle for reasons that are largely unimportant. That's all the audience ever really knows about this story and it felt flat and unfulfilling. Ultron wants to blow up the world, the Avengers try to stop him. There was not a compelling story to be told here. There were so many things that ruined this movie for me. It hurts to rate this so poorly, but it certainly deserves the low marks.
