I’ve Never Seen Avengers: Age Of Ultron Before (First Time Watch Review). Here is what I thought.
I’ve Never Seen Avengers: Age Of Ultron Before
Things may change all the time in this wild world we live in, but one thing will always remain constant: If the Avengers are banding together for something, you know there’s evil afoot. As luck would have it, that’s the case for our latest first-time watch, “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”
The usual band of Avengers, featuring Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor and Hulk, are back once again to fight a new type of evil. Hailing from Tony Stark’s lab, Ultron is a highly intelligent and diabolical robot that thinks he has to eradicate humanity to save Earth. Not only that, but the crew meets a set of twins, Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Pietro (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), who seem to be up to no good.
Here’s what I thought:
1. We took a little break from our regular gang of Avengers, but now we’re back in action with them.
2. Oh look, more blue glowing things. Who would have thought.
3. O.M.G. Is that my girl Wanda!?!
4. Natasha looking as awesome as ever I see. Some things never change.
5. This movie just jumps into the action without a moment to breathe. And all of the Avengers were assembled for this battle too.
6. Language, Tony!
7. “Can we hold them?” “They’re the Avengers.” And you’re correct!
8. I’m actually very excited for Wanda and Pietro’s debut in this film. I’ve been wondering when we finally get to meet them in the MCU.
9. I’m willing to wager that Pietro could run a mile faster than me. But just barely.
10. “And for gosh sake watch your language!” I love this cute banter between Iron Man and Captain America.
11. That hand/wrist touching between Natasha and Bruce/Hulk is a very sweet way to get him to calm down.
12. Miss Wanda is such a master manipulator, I’m obsessed with her already (although I’ve been obsessed with her already since I watched “WandaVision”).
13. These weird floating monster robot things are CREEPY!!
14. As usual, one of the things I’m most looking forward to in this movie is seeing how Tony/Iron Man will destroy his home or some other beautifully decorated space.
15. “He’s fast and she’s weird” — I think that sums up Pietro and Wanda well.
16. I really can’t say I like all of these floating robots. Imagine seeing that as you’re walking around and not being terrified every waking moment that they’ll take over.
17. Ooooh Dr. Helen has her eyes on Thor. I smell a little romance.
18. Oh look, a robot thing malfunctioning and going haywire. Who would have thought!?!
19. Leave Jarvis alone, Ultron!
20. Boy, this party is about to be ruined so hard. What a shame, too, they all look so swanky.
21. But seriously, where are my girls Pepper and Jane?
22. Captain America, a well-known superhero, can’t afford an apartment in Brooklyn? That’s so relatable.
23. Ahhh Stan Lee sighting!
24. Awww Stan had to get dragged out of the party. Someone had too much to drink.
25. Ooooh a little romance building with Natasha and Bruce. I dig it.
26. Since everyone is trying to pick up Thor’s hammer, I’m going to put out a very bold statement: I think I could lift it without a problem. Just saying.
27. Oh good, back to this creepy Ultron robot. Talk about a party crasher.
28. There it is: the house is being destroyed. It always happens!
29. Yes, Tony, we remember how heroic you were in “Avengers” when you saved the whole world. No need to rub it in.
30. Ultron, the fast one and the weird one are about to be the strangest villain team ever, but I think it’ll be very exciting.
31. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a beautiful man. That’s all I have to say.
32. Wakanda!!!
33. Andy Serkis is always such a riot.
34. Compare Ultron to Stark and you get your arm chopped off. Noted.
35. It’s time for some Wanda mind games! Hell yeah!
36. She’s knocking the Avengers out one-by-one. Atta girl! Yeah, I know I should be rooting for the Avengers, but Wanda is so cool!
37. Natasha is a killer ballerina, Thor in Asgard with a gorgeous Idris Elba, Steve dancing with Peggy – Wanda is getting them all messed up.
38. Man, Wanda REALLY did a number on Hulk. She’s feisty!
39. Not only does Tony destroy beautiful homes but he also destroys cities and office buildings too! Quite a versatile man.
40. Sorry to all the construction people who have been working on that building. Looks like you’ll just have to start all over over.
41. CALM DOWN ALREADY, HULK!
42. I’d say the team looks pretty shook after what Wanda did to them.
43. Shock of the century: Clint Barton has a whole damn family.
44. Oh no, even Dr. Helen is getting picked on by Ultron.
45. The sexual tension between Natasha and Bruce is off the charts. But I need him to stop rejecting this moment, especially when she’s opening up to him. Stop doing this to me!!!
46. Linda Cardellini just gave me so much life.
47. Nick Fury has entered the chat.
48. A remorseful Tony Stark? Who are you and what have you done with the real one!
49. Oh, lovely, Ultron is getting secret codes.
50. HELEN!!! STOP HELPING ULTRON! Ugh no one can do anything right around here.
51. I’m glad to see Dr. Selvig again, but WHERE is Jane?!?
52. Wanda finally sees the truth! Ultron, you are so over.
53. People are still driving even though they see Captain America hanging off of a truck’s door? The people in this society are so weird.
54. They STILL are driving as if this Ultron/Captain America fight isn’t happening?!?
55. Natasha is about to give them some hell!!! That’s my girl!
56. There’s a plane going crazy in the sky, a superhero and robot fighting in the middle of the street, a Russian spy weaving in and out of traffic on her motorcycle, and a truck package floating, and still nothing will stop people from driving here.
57. Pietro and Wanda are among the most useful Avengers I’ve seen thus far.
58. Ooooh we’re about to get the creation of Vision. Another Avenger I was curious about.
59. Captain America fighting Tony, Wanda fighting Bruce, Thor swooping in. Madness I tell you!
60. Helloooooo, Vision! And we’ve got another infinity stone on our hands.
61. I’ve seen where Vision and Wanda’s relationship takes them in “Infinity War,” “Endgame” and “WandaVision,” so I’m looking forward to the beginning of their romance.
62. Alright we’re in for quite the epic battle between the Avengers and scary robots. Time to buckle in.
63. Vision swooping in to battle Ultron like the legend he is.
64. The earth collapsing in Sokovia did not come at a good time if you ask me.
65. BRUCE AND NATASHA KISS!!! YES!!!!
66. Aaaaand she pushed him into a hole.
67. The guy throwing up after Thor saved him: me.
68. It’s Wanda’s turn to fuck shit up now!
69. Only Thor could get hit in the face with a concrete column and not have a cut on his face.
70. Nick Fury to the rescue!
71. There are soooooo many Ultron copies flying around, I absolutely hate it.
72. They’re doing it! The team is really doing it!!
73. Run away robots and don’t come back!
74. No not Pietro!!! I was really enjoying his character.
75. Fuck Ultron up, Wanda!!
76. HOW is Tony able to dodge all this debris???
77. Oh no what is Hulk about to do.
78. IS HE REALLY LEAVING NATASHA AND THE TEAM BEHIND?? HULK!!!
79. Vision ended Ultron without missing a beat.
80. Did Natasha just call that baby fat? Because if so, that might be the strangest and funniest thing I’ve seen in this series yet.
81. Don’t get too misty eyed, everyone. I’m sure these Avengers will be back together before you know it.
82. Awww, Wanda, the Falcon and others are in Avengers University. How cute!
Overall Thoughts on Avengers: Age of Ultron
“Avengers: Age of Ultron” had an interesting premise at the start, but I was a little disappointed by the end. All in all, this movie felt like all the other movies in that it stuck to the same formula and it really didn’t do anything to stray from it.
When we were initially introduced to Ultron and his mission to destroy humanity, it felt very high-stakes and that the Avengers were about to have a true battle on their hands. But as the film kept going, it just seemed like the same targets that were hit in previous Marvel movies were being repeated, and I kind of got bored watching it.
What I enjoyed most was the introduction of Wanda, Pietro and Vision. Any time there’s a new character, I immediately perk up. This is nothing against the Avengers that we know and love, but after seeing them over and over again in these movies, it’s nice to get a break from them every once in a while. Wanda and Pietro were a lot of fun here, going from evil siblings to some of the most useful Avengers in the pack.
It’s a shame our time with Pietro was cut short, but he made the most of it. Vision is also such a cool member of the squad, and even though I know what happens with him, I’m looking forward to learning more about him and seeing his journey in the films.
Rating: 3 out of 5
