The Avengers: Age of Ultron

This action filled movie is the second in the Avenger series.  It stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark (Ironman), Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner (Hulk), Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow,  Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.  These comic book heroes join together to defeat baron Wolfgang von Strucker who was experimenting on humans with the scepter that was previously used by Loki.  The experiment was being conducted on a set of twins, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff.  Pietro had superhuman speed and Wanda had the ability to manipulate people’s thoughts as well as throwing energy blasts. 

Tony Stark and Bruce Banner had been experimenting with artificial intelligence and were using it in a global defense program known as Ultron (voiced by James Spader).  Ultron decides he must kill all humans in order to save the earth and attacks the Avengers as they are celebrating victory over Strucker.  Ultron attains the scepter and uses it to build an army of robot drones.  The Avengers must defeat the twins and Ultron in order to save the human race.  

This movie had it all, action, humor, and a touch of romance (between Black Widow and Hulk and between Hawkeye and his wife who was played by Linda Cardellini).  I really enjoyed James Spader voicing Ultron.  I salute everyone associated with this movie as it was better than the first.  I think the action was even stepped up a notch.  The actors were all spectacular as was the directing by Joss Whedon.    Stan Lee even made an appearance once again. 


I noticed many families at the theater to see the Avengers and even some dressed in character.  I really loved this movie and know you will too.  

I gave this movie four out of four stars.  Go see it.
