Finished watching Avengers: Age of Ultron directed by Joss Whedon and staring Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L Jackson, Paul Bettany, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, James Spader and Thomas Kretsckmann. The film opens up to the Avengers battling Baron Von Strucker (Thomas Kretsckmann) and his Hydra forces along with the twins Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) getting involved with Scarlet Witch playing with the mind of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) as the Avengers battle Hydra in order to get Loki's sceptre. Back at Avengers Tower Tony and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) find an way to perfect Tony's artificial intelligence program with the use of the Infinity Stone in the sceptre accidentally creating Ultron (James Spader). During a party for Thor (Chris Hemsworth) as he prepares to head back to Asgard with the stone Ultron comes in introducing himself to the Avengers before sending his consciousness to a new model he makes in Strucker's old laboratory. This leads to Ultron recruiting the twins to his cause as they meet with Ulysses Klaw about some vibrainum to make Ultron's next body even stronger. When the Avengers crash the party Scarlet Witch messes with all of the Avengers minds apart from Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) who helps the Avengers as Iron Man deals with a rampaging Hulk by using his Hulkbuster armour. With everyone back on the Quinjet Hawkeye takes them to a safe house the countryside were they get a pep talk from Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) before Captain America (Chris Evans) takes a small team to Seoul in South Korea where they steal a robot body from Ultron at the cost of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) taking it back to the tower where Tony puts J.A.R.V.I.S (Paul Bettany) into the body creating the newest Avenger the Vision. Once assembled the Avengers along with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver who reform when they find out Ultron's true plans take the battle to Ultron and his army in the twins home country of Sokovia. Overall this was an amazing film as Marvel brings out another successful movie with a compelling villain in Ultron which at times he seems less like a villainous robot and more of a flawed human as James Spader kills it in the role while the action scenes feel like they have been ripped out of a comic book as the use of slow motion in the fight scenes gives a giant overview of the sequence. If there is any criticism the film at times feel like it's set up for Civil War but it has to in a way as it is the next film to feature the most of these characters. 9/10.
