It's MCU time again! This week's sojourn into the Marvel Cinematic Universe takes us to that time when Elon Musk's greatest fear took place... and The Avengers went global...
After the Avengers hit a hidden Hydra base, Tony gets the bright idea to create a robot... the ultimate robot.
Too bad that ultimate robot wound up hating him... and the rest of humanity...
I have to say that this installment in the "Avengers" part of the MCU was one of the weaker ones. The concept isn't bad- but it's been done so many times before... and better as well. I just couldn't keep myself focused on the story, I kept getting distracted by counting down the seconds before my next pizza pocket was done...
There's some character development in this movie too- most in terms of Tony Stark- with a dash thrown in for Hawkeye as well (which was nice to see, actually). The introduction of Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Vision was good- and executed well... though I would've liked to seen a bit more character development in Quicksilver before he got fridged hard in order to give Hawkeye some of his much needed development. The rest of the characters... they were there.
There isn't really a whole lot I can say, honestly. I simply found "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" to be a fairly forgettable, lackluster movie. I'd only recommend watching it because it sets up "Civil War", and provides context for what happens in it. Other than that, it's a "Bad".
