Avengers: Age of Ultron

     The new Avengers: Age of Ultron movie was a blast. Let me give you the good, the bad, and the nerdy. This movie is all about how Tony Stark wants to create an AI that will "save the world" because he doesn't believe that the Avengers can defeat any really tough enemies. What if aliens attack again like the last movie? Anyway, so Tony Stark, aka Iron Man creates this AI and the AI activates itself after Stark and Bruce Banner (Hulk) have been working on it for a long time. The AI is called Ultron and lets just say it knew everything about the Avengers before it even met them in person. It's goals was to initially save the world, but he went beyond Stark's initial plans and wanted to destroy all humans and start a new. Kind of simple minded right? So that's the main plot and story of this action fest.
     First off, Ultron kind of has jokey comments to make and even reminded me a bit of the Joker from the Dark Knight. Ultron is basically just a tall platinum robot, he doesn't really look all that cool nor interesting. Moving on, Ultron teams up with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver to take out the Avengers. Those two agree to help him because they have a grievance with Tony Stark, a Stark missile hit their town and many people died. Later, they join the fight with the Avengers when they find out that Ultron is trying to kill people instead of help them. This movie is mainly all action and the action is pretty good! The fight with Ultron, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch against the Avengers leaves the Avengers in the dust mainly because Scarlet Witch uses her telekinesis to get into the Avengers' heads, making them see visions, leaving them in a cloud of confusion. Then, the Hulk ends up going crazy in a town in Africa, and Iron Man is the only Avenger up that can stop him. That was a pretty fun fight. Iron Man had to call something down from space, a giant Iron Man Suit that could compete with the Hulk. Needless to say, that town was leveled.
     Next, the Avengers seek refuge at a safe house until they can figure out what to do against Ultron. They were basically defeated at that point. Then Ultron decides he needs to keep evolving so she has this Korean Avengers scientist Cho create a body for him to use. But the Avengers come to stop him while he's being uploaded into the new body. I kind of couldn't tell weather his new body was going to be human-like or if it was just another metal thing. Anyways, the Avengers take the body and its brought to Stark's lab, where Stark and Banner work on producing the Vision, an AI designed to take out Ultron! Once they have the Vision on their side, they decide to take out Ultron for good and boy is the fight a good one.
     Later, they fight Ultron at some eastern European city. Ultron's goal was to lift the city up into the sky and drop it, the impact would have killed billions. But in order to actually defeat Ultron, they had to destroy each and every single Ultron body that he had. He had his main body doing all the bad super-villain stuff, but he also had probably hundreds or thousands of other smaller bodies that they had to fight as well. Basically, they were fighting for a long time. At this point Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch join sides with the Avengers, because they knew Ultron was actually against the human race, not trying to help. The Avengers end up getting everyone out of the city and the piece of the city that was floating in the air is destroyed thanks to Iron Man and Thor. The cool part is when The Vision tells the last Ultron body that he thinks the human race is beautiful and stuff. Then Ultron says that he's hopelessly naive. Then the Vision says "Well, I was born yesterday." Then he blasts the Ultron apart. Cut scene. Fin. After the credits we see Thanos with the Infinity Guantlet and he says,"Guess I'll have to do it myself." Pretty cool eh?
     Lastly, it was a good movie although the plot was simple minded. The action fills up most of the movie, leaving pretty much no room for much of a plot. There was an interesting romance between Banner and Black Widow, aka Scarlet Johannson. In the beginning Black Widow was actually able to calm the Hulk down by putting her hand on the Hulk's giant hand. That was an important part because it shows that the Hulk can actually be controlled and not just a rage monster. Also, the movie was kind of made better because I went to see it with four of my good friends that I have met here in LA. Good movie, but I think the first one was better, and I think the next one will be better too if it involves Thanos.
