'Avengers' sequel overflows with satisfying superhero fun
FILM FRAME/ASSOCIATED PRESS
With "Avengers: Age of Ultron," the Marvel Cinematic Universe has reached an extraordinary new level of bringing comic books to life. These movies have built such a large world that it's naturally ingrained within viewers' minds at this point. The overload of characters, cameos, previous film references and future film tie-ins don't feel like connections between separate things, but parts of a greater whole.
Thanks to that sense of cohesion, this sequel flows with enhanced depth in the heroes, the story, the jokes and even the spectacular action sequences, alongside writer/director Joss Whedon's impressive balance of so many characters. The laugh-out-loud wit, energetic pacing, emotional investment and big, stylish thrills he gives to the proceedings make this the kind of blockbuster that intensely satisfies on all fronts.
This time the conflict comes from an evil the Avengers themselves create, rather than outside forces. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) give birth to an artificial intelligence named Ultron (James Spader), intended as a defense program for Earth, who instead harnesses a powerful robot body and army and seeks humanity's destruction. Ultron proves not only a formidable foe, but an entertaining one as well, as he takes on some of Stark's personality and humor.
COOLEST SUPERPOWER
Aiding Ultron are twins Pietro (Aaron-Taylor Johnson) and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), aka Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Slick slow-motion shots show Pietro's superspeed, but Wanda's telekinetic powers give her a dynamic fighting style that comes across like an interpretive dance, while her hypnotic control puts the Avengers in dreamlike states of fear. These surreal, engrossing sequences bring out interesting sides of the heroes, particularly the severe past of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson).
BEST ACTION SEQUENCE
WHEN BANNER SEQUENCE
When Banner falls under this spell, he goes on a destructive rampage in the city, so Iron Man brings in the bulky Hulkbuster suit to stop him. The ensuing brawl tears through many streets and buildings, flying up the side of one skyscraper then toppling another enormous structure, while Iron Man and Hulk beat each other senseless.
It's pure fun watching these two clash, especially with Stark fearfully apologizing, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" after a brutal hit on an even angrier Hulk.
FUNNIEST RUNNING GAG
FORTUNE FORMING UU
At a party Stark hosts early on, the different Avengers humorously try lifting Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) hammer, although none succeed. This gag comes up a few more times with an eventual payoff
that earned a loud reaction from my entire theater.
CRAZIEST SHOT
Whedon opens the film with a wildly exciting continuous action shot roving through snowy woods, showcasing each Avenger battling bad guys individually, highlighting their powers and style, before they all join ranks and fight together. It's like hitting a home run on the first pitch, and Whedon
returns with a grand slam in the climax as the team circles up to stave off Ultron's robot army, shown with a continuous shot that spins around them as each takes out robot after robot with awesome moves.
"Avengers: Age of Ultron" is brimming over with so much superhero entertainment that it can be a little overwhelming, so put on your suit and enjoy the ride.
