CALEB RAVES REVIEWS "THE AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON"

Director-Joss Whedon  LAST LOOKS Finally the pinnacle of all action super hero movies has returned. The first Avengers broke the box office all the way to becoming the third highest grossing film in cinema history. Comic book movies have really taken over the movie industry lately and have dominated in ticket sales. You have to give credit to the Marvel/Disney regime for presenting the Avengers in a cool and innovative way. One they give each Avenger hero their own movie, to tell each individual story and also The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D television show also gives another glimpse inside of the organization as a whole. As far as presentation Marvels Avengers are leaps and bounds ahead of their competition leaving other genres such as DC comics scrambling to throw together a franchise as good and successful as theirs. Huge hits such as Iron Man 3 and Captain America Winter Soldier has kept the genre fresh as of late. Marvel has done a great job of not giving us viewers too much to get fatigued but just enough to keep us wanting more. So lets see if Marvel can Avenge their title as top super hero movie franchise.  THE BREAKDOWN Tony Stark and Bruce Banner activate a dormant program that will help save humanity however things go haywire forcing all of the Avengers to reassemble to battle the evil Ultron. Ultron is a villain who has the power to recreate himself over many times and is hellbent on destroying Earth. STYLE POINTS Of course there were so many awe inspiring effects in a movie of this magnitude. Damn the story sometimes you go to a theater just for the pure excitement of witnessing visuals you couldn't even imagine. Some of the spots that stuck out for me were, Scarlet Witch hitting the avengers and going back up towards the door Hulk turning back to David Banner The futuristic look of the agents of shield headquarters. Blur focus as the Avengers attempt to lift Thor's hammer Speed through and slow motion of Ultron getting hit Mind control Ultron vs Ultron  Nose Candy "Sometimes exactly what I want to hear is not exactly what I want to hear"-David Banner "What if aliens rolled up at the club and couldn't get past the bouncer?"-Ironman  "I miss the days where the weirdest thing science ever created was me."-Captain America "Im just a guy looking for a needle in the worlds biggest haystack."-Ironman "When the world starts to settle god throws a stone at it we have to evolve"-Ultron "If you get killed walk it off"-Captain America "Human beings are fearful and in need of protection. But then that fear can inspire them to do great things" -The Vision "He's multiplying faster then catholic rabbits!" - Nick Fury "Everyone creates the thing they fear. Men of peace create engines of war. Avengers create invaders. Parents create children, that will supplant them"-Ultron "This is exactly what I wanted all of you vs all of me!"-Ultron ROLE PLAY-Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Hayley Atwell, James Spader, and Samuel L. Jackson. In an ensemble cast as huge and with as much star power as this movie possessed it is often difficult for everyone to get their proper time to shine. I think Avengers definitely attempted to humanize the characters this go round. I think giving an inside look into Thunderhawk's family was a nice touch. Although the budding relationship between The Hulk and The Black Widow did seem odd and out of place. I maybe being picky but I don't think Tony Stark was not as witty and had as many punchlines as in previous movies. The Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver were cool characters but to me did not add that much to the film and weren't really necessary. Of course Samuel L Jackson was great and cashed in on another movie as he is fortunate enough to never have that well dry up. Hands down I think the best performance goes to James Spader as Ultron. I thought he had a great villain outing and had some really good dialogue. I can't say enough about the writing as there were an array of memorable lines in this film. Missing Person Alert Where is Low Ki! MONEY SHOT A lot of epic fight scenes to choose from the Hulk vs Iron Man and Captain America vs Ultron on a moving bus. But I'm going with multiple Ultrons vs The Avengers main battle. Basically all of the over the top sequences and cool effects you would expect from any super hero movie. But this one was just as sweet. The only problem with the scene was after all of the incredible fight visuals beforehand this one kind of seems like a repeated scene. FINAL TOUCH Director Joss Whedon claimed he had a difficult time making this movie because he struggled with trying to top himself from the first Avengers. I think he far more exceeded expectations with this film. Really this was an awesome experience. The only thing about this film is that I feel at times it focused too much on character development to set up for the next film. Never the less Avengers Age of Ultron does not disappoint with epic fight scenes, stunning visual effects and funny moments. Marvel raises the bar again with a super powerful cinematic experience! -CALEB RAVES
