Avengers: Age of Ultron

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Rating 8 out of 10

When the original Avengers came out in 2012 (three years ago???)  I geeked out and consider it one of my top ten favorites of all time.  LOVED it.  So needless to say I greatly anticipated the release of this new version of Avengers and yes the bar was set pretty high.  While I think the first one was probably better Avengers: Age of Ultron is a great movie.

Ultra takes up a few years after the Avengers saved the world and destroyed New York City.  This movie starts off with the Avengers moving in on a not so secret hideout of some really bad Germans that somehow have the magical pitch fork thing from the last movie.  Not sure how the bad guys got it but they don't stand a chance in holding it.  Once the Avengers get it back before Thor can fly home with it Tony Stark (Ironman) gets his hands on it and tries to come up with a magical robot that would end all wars and create peace on Earth. The problem is the magical robot (Ultron) decides the only way to have total peace is to kill all humans.  This is bad.

The Avengers once again battle the bad guys and sometimes each other to save the world.  A couple new people are introduced and a few are brought back from the past and or other movies (Captain America).  The action is first rate as you would expect.  If I were going to nit pick a bit (not that I'd ever do that) I'd complain that the bad guys they battle in this movie are alot like the bad guys in the last.  I do like the new characters and enjoyed the movie a good bit.
