It’s official. Summer blockbuster season has begun. And no one dares goes up against the Avengers movie. For new flicks nationwide, the Avengers: Age of Ultron is the only game in town. But for most people, this is plenty.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron
The much-admired Joss Whedon directs this installment of the Marvel superhero series—in which the gang, including Tony Stark/Ironman, Thor, Black Widow, Captain America and the Hulk, is back to fight scary Artificial Intelligence robots led by Ultron. Mainly, this is an excuse to show off fancy CGI, exploding robots, and Chris Hemsworth’s sizable abs and flowing blonde locks. Also starring Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner.
Perfect For: Fans of the other parts of this franchise. Chris Hemworth’s muscles.
What the Critics Say: Good—for a blockbuster. (Frankly though, I’m convinced that when it comes to the popcorn flicks, the critics of America are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. They see so many big movies that are barely watchable that when one comes along that’s merely OK, they drool all over it.) Entertainment Weekly writes: “I walked out of the theater feeling like the survivor of an all-you-can-eat buffet.” And says Variety: “If this is what the apotheosis of branded, big-studio entertainment has come to look like in 2015, we could be doing much worse. Unlike its title character, "Age of Ultron" most definitely has soul.”
Our Take: For the diehard fans. And admirers of Chris Hemsworth’s muscles.
