Avengers: Age of Ultron

Avengers: Age of Ultron is a real disappointment, it was just a bland attempt to make money on a successful brand.  There are so many things wrong with this film I'm just going to break my format and give a list.
  • Lack of a real story - there is a thin story to this film it's, bad guy wants to do bad, good guys stop him, that's all it is.
  • Bad Jokes everywhere - I could understand have jokes in lighthearted scenes or one or two in fight scenes, but it seems like every five minutes there was a groan worthy joke being made.
  • Ulton is bad - There is no real explanation of Ulton, it's just here's Ulton and now he's pure evil.
  • Way to many characters - I think the goal was get as many Marvel Universe characters into this film, and they came damn close.  There was just to many characters to keep track of, you kept having to go back and remember who everyone was!

Action & Jokes

While this film does provide great action, the problem is they keep telling jokes while fighting and it takes all the tension out of the moment.  This film needed to have less characters and more character development.

Love Story

And as for the love story, I won't say who it involves, but it once again is left very bland.  It's basically two 12 year olds to shy to commit to anything.  The only thing I'll say for the love story is I can see how it sets up a new story down the road, but it could have been done MUCH better.

Acting

The acting was fine, no one was bad, the script was the problem.  It's sad when a script is so bad that it makes Hawkeye one of the better characters with more of a story than anyone else.

Conclusion

I'd say see the film just to keep up with the Marvel Universe but don't expect this to blow your mind or be the best thing you've seen so far, because it's not.
