Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.35:1 141m
Director: Joss Whedon
Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, James Spader, Don Cheadle, Samuel L. Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany
Synopsis:
An East-European terrorist colludes with two 'enhanced' paranormals to unlock the power of the jewel in Thor's sceptre and create an ultra-powerful artificial intelligence that will spawn robots to destroy the Avengers and, who knows, humanity itself.
Review:
Or something like that. Put it like this: it is irresistible to write off this comic book nonsense for what it is, a pile of gobbledegook drawing on Thunderbirds, James Bond and Transformers, for its sentient robotic villain. Fortunately, there is enough knowing humour in the script and jaw-dropping ambition in the effects work to distract one from its overblown improbabilities.
