Avengers

Age of Ultron

It's difficult to review a film that's so typically 'blockbuster' and checks all of the boxes for a major Hollywood action movie nowadays. At the same time, though, the performances by the talented actors and actresses in the film make it all feel mostly worthwhile. 'Age of Ultron' gets sadly settled with a gigantic number of plot points that it both needs to carry on from previous movies as well as set down to establish for future releases. What it does excel at, though, are the fascinating moments where Paul Bettany, Robert Downey Jr., James Spader, and others get to reflect on why they do what what they do. The guys at RedLetterMedia put it well when they stated that the movie came off like a gigantic double-cheeseburger from a middling restaurant. There's a lot to chew on, perhaps too much, and plenty of that is pretty cheesy, but it's worth picking up overall. I feel the same way.
