Avengers: Age of Ultron

Since the events in New York involving Loki and the Chitauri, the Avengers have tried to keep the peace around the world. While things have been quiet for some time, the thought on everyone's mind is when the next big attack is coming. To combat these feelings and get ready for whatever big threat is coming Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man, comes across an old artificial intelligence program called the Ultron program and decides to implement it into his own Iron Legion so that the Avengers can protect the world without actually being there. Bruce Banner, a.k.a. The Incredible Hulk, gets wind of Tony's plan and warns him that they don't understand the program enough to even consider using it as a defense program. Stark doesn't listen, and as a result he resurrects an artificial intelligence that becomes powerful and bent on the destruction of the human race. Iron Man, the Hulk, and the rest of the Avengers must now work together to somehow defeat an enemy far stronger, faster, and smarter than any of them have ever faced.

Out of all the movies in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), there's really only been three I thought were good, yet probably wouldn't ever watch again: Iron Man 3, Thor 2, and Age of Ultron. Funny thing is, all three seem to have the same problem of focusing more on humor and setting up future MCU movies rather than focusing on setting up its own stand alone story. To its credit, out of all three movies Age of Ultron had the least amount of issues of setting up the upcoming Captain America: Civil War and Infinity War part 1 & 2, and failing to craft a good story around it. I did appreciate how the audience got to see more of Hawkeye's background, so his character was a bit more fleshed out than in the first Avengers movie; the same goes for Black Widow's character.  I can only hope the things being set up for future movies are worth sitting through Age of Ultron. Otherwise I'll be even more disappointed than I originally was. Not to say Age of Ultron was completely bad, but I was expecting so much more.
