Avengers: Age of Ultron

Age of Ultron is overstuffed. While it gestures at substance, it avoids development. Because there are so many characters, nobody earns an arc. It has invulnerable protagonists, arbitrary relationships, cheap tragedy, and artificial dialogue. The script contradicts its themes by solving conflicts through the hubris it critiques. With clumsy lore plus thin consequences, the plot is convoluted. There's nonsensical science, a simplistic villain, sanitizing comedy, inconsistencies, formulaic tropes, muddled structure, and desensitizing stakes. Despite ranged personalities, its acting can feel farcical. Therefore, Age of Ultron's story offers proper outlines but scattered details.

Technically, Age of Ultron is passably messy, with a tensionless yet broad appeal tone. Though murky, the imagery delivers splashy oners as well as brief composition. Its editing provides engaging montages, jump cuts, and inserts, but also jumbled action plus choppy momentum within a bloated runtime. Genre elements as well as emotionally charged distortions heighten the soundscape. Other than its recognizable theme, the music remains merely adequate. The production design surrounds iconography with drab locations and an awkward antagonist. Its cast is all-star. While abundant, the effects are overly digital. Overall, Age of Ultron's general flaws dampen its general competence.
