Three years after saving New York from an alien apocalypse, Marvel’s superhero all-stars once again find the weight of the world — or, at least, an airborne chunk of Eastern Europe — thrust upon their mighty shoulders in “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” http://www.fandango.com/avengers:ageofultron2015_157897/movieoverview a super-sized spandex movie that’s heavy on catastrophic action but surprisingly light on its feet, and rich in the human-scale emotion that can cut even a raging Hulk down to size. Having gotten over the hump of assembling his six main characters in 2012’s “The Avengers,” returning writer-director Joss Whedon brings a looser, more inventive and stylish touch to this skillful follow-up, which finds our now S.H.I.E.L.D.-less defenders facing off against a man-made enemy more dangerous than any alien life form.
The opening sequence of the film, is an incredible piece of action filmmaking, staged as a single shot with one of the most triumphant reveals I’ve ever seen in this kind of movie. Instead, the team soon find themselves facing off against the titular Ultron. Voiced by James Spader. Tony Stark’s tech wizardry melding with an alien artifact, and he takes the form of a wisecracking robot with very little respect for authority. He also thinks destroying humanity is the best way to establish world peace.
I don’t want to give anything else about this movie. Only to say it was great to be part of one of hottest movie opening of 2015. You are going to have to go back more than once to catch all the stuff you missed the first time.
