One of the better superhero movies to watch.


"Avengers: Age of Ultron" opens in theaters on Friday, and in my opinion, is better than the first one. A better script, more involvement of the characters who were not seen much in the original - Hawkeye and Black Widow, along with some interesting characters in Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and the creation of Vision. Tony Stark aka Iron Man, believes the only way for Earth to remain safe is by his invention of ultra powerful robots, and things don't go quite as planned when Ultron is born and takes matters in his own hands - and his plan is to rid society of The Avengers and more. The film begins with a bang right away as you witness the team fighting bad guys and it is a good thing to see. The action scenes are what you would see in a comic book - and that is a positive statement. We see a more rounded version of The Hulk, and for the first time, we see the horrors of the wars the heroes are involved in from the citizens point of view. It is not all pretty, or safe. Just the opposite. The same wonderful cast - Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Samuel L Jackson (Nick Fury), along with Cobie Smulders. Elizabeth Olsen plays Scarlet Witch, and she made the character come alive, along with Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver. Plain and simple, if you watched the first one you owe it to yourself to check this out. If you love comic books, you will not be disappointed. This is one of the better superhero movies that you will get to watch. A strong *** out of 4 stars. Go to the theater and buy your tub of popcorn and enjoy this wonderful film.

I'd rather stay home and watch AOU for the fiftieth time than be forced to watch and endure BVS for a second time.

^This. Only it would really be like the 30th time.

I've seen AOU about 44 times myself.

Update: up to 46 times now.

Still not enough really.

Better than any DCEU movie that's for sure.

For damn sure.

After some postmarket declines following a revenue miss yesterday, Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) has spent today in positive ground, up 1.1%.

Analysts saw a hint of succession stability as a bright spot even as Disney faces continuing challenge at its sports network ESPN.

CEO Bob Iger's openness to staying past his 2018 contract end date may alleviate concerns there, says Nomura's Anthony DiClemente, and the company's underlying trends are still intact (even including affiliate fee growth in its networks business).
