Avengers Age of Ultron - Mini Review

Avengers Age of Ultron

4 out of 5 Js in QUIET Rating System


This addition to the Marvel Comics movie franchise is wildly entertaining. We all loved it. James Spader is excellent as the villain Ultron and the talented Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark always steals the show.

Ultron (Spader) draws out the Avengers who team up due to repercussions of the misguided actions of Tony Stark (Downey Jr.). Stark convinces fellow Avenger Banner, aka The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), to work with him as the virtual Hydra has been attacked from the trickster Ultron. The story gets a bit muddled, thus the justified lengthy 141 minutes. For once, I believe the long running time is needed. With so many characters flooding the scene with subplots you had to really pay attention. This box office smash is very worth seeing in an IMAX if you get a chance.
