MARVEL'S AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

Outstanding movie 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥

I'm a big Marvel comic book movie fan, so I've seen all of them in theaters, often in 3D IMAX. Age of Ultron, like the other Avengers and Captain America movies, was a real spectacle with dramatic fight scenes, lots of special effects, kick ass science fiction gadgets and white-hat black-hat action. Still, I bought the DVD for Age of Ultron after watching Civil Wars, its sequel, because I watch for the plot and character development. That was always Marvel's strength, and it is what makes the movies worth watching at all. While each movie can stand alone, re-watching Age of Ultron added a lot to my appreciation of Civil Wars. There was surprisingly little wasted action, as themes and story were developed with an eye on the continuing story. Let's face it. Nowadays anyone can produce a real spectacle of a movie. Need 10,000 orcs battling flying monkeys on a moon of Jupiter? Hire a few of the hundreds of guys in the SFX part of the credits, and you'll have all the orcs, monkeys and Jovian moons you want. Age of Ultron, however, has some great characters and good ensemble acting. The fantasy sequences were nicely done and true to character, but it was scenes of casual banter that pulled everything together. Given that the protagonists are basically unbelievable, they were pretty believable, and where unbelievable, they were a lot of fun.

Good movie

I liked comic books as a kid, though in those days I was more a DC fan than a Marvel groupie. The reason was simple: DC comic book heroes were pretty straightforward characters. They may have had some issues (Batman's origin story left him flawed in many ways) but they generally did not have any doubts about who they were and what they were about. Marvel heroes, on the other hand, seemed to be so much more angst ridden and their lives overly complicated. Puberty was hard enough, I just didn't think I needed to stagger home from another day of school and then read about how difficult life is even if you have superpowers. Fifty years later I get it: Life is difficult. It is full of angst, drama, divorce, disappointment, war, disease and, as a result, I've become a Marvel movie fan. Given that different - and hard won - perspective, I enjoyed "Age of Ultron" on many levels. For example: I liked the overall premise, that brilliant people often create technologies that outstrip our ability to control them. The men who developed the internal combustion engine and then put it on wheeled vehicles probably did not realize that their inventions would one day foul the air to the point that planetary extinction is a possibility. They likely did not think that those engines, once refined, could be used to power fearsome war machines; tanks and mobile artillery pieces that would wreak havoc across much of Europe and Asia throughout the 20th Century. Another example: There are many of us - including Stephen Hawking - who worry about the threats posed by Artificial Intelligence for the same reason. Hawking famously noted some years ago that, in the beginning, the question will be "who controls AI" but in the end that will change to "can AI be controlled?" The jury is still out on that one. I also liked the fact that this movie humanized some of the characters: Hawkeye has a family, for example; Black Widow is crushing on Bruce Banner; and Tony Stark will go to almost any length to "make things right" as a result of his guilt for once being a developer of hugely powerful weapons. This movie has been reviewed - literally - thousands of times so I won't spend a lot of time rehashing its pros and cons. Instead, I'll simply say that I enjoyed it as both a visual treat and as a movie that raised some interesting ethical and moral questions for its audience to consider. Can't ask for much more than that.

AWESOME! My kids are 10 and 11, and they loved it. We have recently become Avenger/Marvel fans. It has a few dark moments and hints of SC. In one scene a man loses an arm, but it doesn't show blood and gore. And in one scene a quit picture of an executed prisoner goes across screen showing a word written in blood behind him. As for SC...the character of Tony Stark is notorious for one liners that went over my kids' heads, but are nonetheless there. I personally found it family friendly, but each person will have decided for themselves. It is action packed from the moment it begins. And we always love how each Marvel movie ends with a hint of the next movie in the sequence. I love the story line, I love the moral-to-the-story, and I love how it is written.

After a few years of anticipation after an amazing cliff hanger from the landmark film 'The Avengers' we finally see our favorite comic book heroes come together to fight the forces of evil. This time evil takes shape in the machine destroyer Ultron. With the Marvel Universe branching out even further through some great and not so great new Marvel films, of course I was excited to see the second Avengers film. Knowing that it was going to focus on Ultron and Ultron being voiced by James Spader. Not to mention the fact that we would also get a few new characters, I was very excited. Once again we get a fun action packed romp worthy of big screen thrills. As well as a fitting place in the continuing story line. However, I felt that this movie was nothing but 2 hours of filler just to push past this hump and take the fans into the next phase. Ultron was also done all wrong as I felt that he showed more emotion than some of the human characters in the movie. Ultron is not suppose to be that way rather he is suppose to be more robot. Still, some of the redeeming qualities of this film (besides the action and witty jokes of course) was the story that revolved around Hawkeye, seeing Paul Bettany FINALLY show up in physical form as one of the most intriguing Avengers, The Vision and of course all of the Easter eggs that were dropped to prepare the fans for what is yet to come. So, The Avengers: Age of Ultron is not the best but, it is a decent exciting addition to the MCU. After the end credits scene I am definitely excited for the next wave of films before The Avengers assemble once again.

I really enjoy the whole Avengers series so this was perfect.

Product was as advertised!

Came in watched it awesome movie worked good

Another Marvel hit. Great integration story of a few new characters: Vision and Scarlet Witch. And, of course, highlighting the growing tensions about how best to "save" earth.

Ça dit bilingue. Ça dit anglais, français, espagnol. Mais il n’y a pas de piste audio en français.

This is one of the best and most underrated Hollywood sequels out there. The script, the directing, and particularly the relationships between characters are of heartfelt perfection. There has also never been a better Hulk on screen before or since. If you've only seen this movie once and you were disappointed that it wasn't exactly like the first one, give it another whirl.

Very entertaining, but Joss Wheadon did not understand the Iron Man Jon Favreau has set up
