Storyline
When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program,
things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain
America, Thor, the Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to
the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As
the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from
enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected
action pave the way for a global adventure.
User Reviews
It
hurts to rate this so poorly, but it certainly deserves the low marks.
There were so many things that ruined this movie for me.
1) The
Storytelling - Or lack thereof. There was not a compelling story to be
told here. Ultron wants to blow up the world, the Avengers try to stop
him. That's all the audience ever really knows about this story and it
felt flat and unfulfilling.
2) Plot? - The movie opens with our
heroes in the middle of a battle for reasons that are largely
unimportant. That pretty much sums up this whole film
3) The Love
Interest - Totally underdeveloped. We're basically told by the script
writer that these two people are in love, but never are we SHOWN that
they're falling in love. It rang completely hollow.
4) The Humor -
There were WAY too many jokes in this movie, and that wouldn't have
been all that bad if so many of them weren't eye rollers. Many of them
left me groaning.
5) Ultron - This guy appears out of nowhere and
is woefully underdeveloped. Plus, he's supposed to be some kind of AI
but he's constantly cracking off stupid one-liners and making facial
expressions that I thought were inconsistent with what and who he was
supposed to be.
6) Character Overload - There were WAY too many
characters to do any of them any justice. I would have liked the film to
focus on a smaller group of characters and their relationships with one
another, instead, we got a who's who of the entire Marvel universe
leaving a lot to be desired.
I could go on, but my heart is still
aching and I don't want to talk about it anymore. I see that a lot of
people liked it and I'm happy that they did. I only wish it hadn't been
such a colossal disappointment for me.
