Super underrated in my opinion, honestly shocked people didn't like this at the time, well written, darker in tone but still really funny in parts, sets up a ton of stuff for Civil War and the other two Avengers sequels, always enjoyed it, James Spader was great as Ultron too.
I gotta agree when I heard it was unpopular. But, who cares what "they" think? Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, and no one wants to look at the other guy's.
@@gareto_ no it wasn't, it had an interesting take on the genre with understandable character motivations and clever lines. Plus, some of the best characters ever were here. Also James spader is always a win
@@portalanimations2724 It was never a bad movie. But it was not as good as the other movies of the Avengers franchise. Ultron could have been portrayed as a better villain. The final battle also was not good enough and could have been shown in a better way.
the last scene of this movie (with vision and Ultron) is probably my favorite scene of dialogue in the MCU. The different ideologies being represented so well with the subtle and calm acting by Paul Bettany perfectly contrasting the childish and erratic nature of James Spader's Ultron all ending with a quiet (almost respectful) death of the antagonist at the end in a peaceful wide shot. great scene that would have made a much more cinematic final scene for the film as the narrative was perfectly concluded and summarized with their interaction.
My biggest takeaway from Age of Ultron was Ultron's mention of the Avengers' lack of harmony. That set the stage for Civil War, led to their downfall in Infinity War, and then found its rightful place in Endgame.
I’ve always said Ultron was one of the single most layered and interesting MCU villain. He’s a child, with a messiah complex. It’s amazing, especially because of James Spader’s performance.
I've always liked this movie and I love how it's getting more attention now. I do feel like saying it's "Act One of a three-part series" with IW and Endgame kinda cuts out Civil War which was just as big of an Avengers movie as AoU but is called Captain America for contract purposes exclusively.
But when you take it as a movie in and of itself it's not as good as several other MCU movies, and when you take as an Avengers sequel then it is a bit too similar. But it is fun enough for sure, and is cool with hindsight of other later movies.
One you missed - "Isn't that the 'Why We Fight'?" That is the name of a series of documentaries produced during WWII to promote the war effort. Cap's propaganda films are the equivalent.
I feel like the fact Clint's son was named Nathaniel being a reference to Natasha isn't surprising. Earlier in the movie when they first come to the farm, Nat asks Laura how "Little Natasha" is doing, and Laura replies saying "Its Nathaniel", where Natasha then jokingly calls him a Traitor.
I love this film. I didn't when I first saw it, because I was so hyped for the dark tone that first trailer suggested and when I got an Ultron with a sense of humour I was taken back. But I've rewatched this movie so many times and I genuinely think it's one of the most clever, interesting and entertaining parts of the MCU. I'll defend AoU any day
15:05 If I remember correctly, the Infinity Gauntlet is a left hand so this is either the Nano Gauntlet or Iron Man's right hand, further foreshadowing the ending events of Endgame.
I always thought that was a silly observation, because innocent people die in war regardless... whether someone tries to end a war, begin a war, fight a war, not fight a war... innocent people die whenever there's someone wanting to kill.
This is one of my favorite films in the MCU especially rewatching it and seeing it as the 1st of the 3 act structure. I really love the characterization and depth this film brings to the characters.
This might be the first or second best movie in the MCU movie for me. The tones, themes, and movie magic that this movie has. Foreshadowing, the fact it sets up Civil War, IW, and Endgame, and the amazing character development is so good❤️
I liked it when it first came out, and loved it even more after going through all the movies. It just made so much more sense and made you appreciate it.
I have a theory about the Maximoff twins. I think they actually are mutants and the exposure form the mind stone awoken their power and that’s how they have their powers. How I think the mutants will be revelled is because after tony hulk and thanos snapped the resulting after math awoken the mutant gene. So that’s how I think we could get the x-men but hey that’s just a theory, a really good theory thanks for reading
I like and agree w/ your theory. At the end of Winter Soldier, the scientists say that all other test subjects failed except the twins. They didn't fail because their mutant gene protected them and was activated.
I've always thought the "here we all are, back on earth" was more of a metaphor because they're in hiding and can't utilize the technology that they normally have which is why Fury says "we have nothing but our wit and will to save the earth"
When cap says "If you die walk it off", it's a reference to another Joss Whedon project Firefly where Captain Malcolm Reynolds says "If somebody tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back."
Phoenix Edits Also a reference to Asimov's "Robot Dreams", where a robot subconsciously "dreams" that it wants to liberate all bots and potentially take over humans.
Agents of SHIELD is not canon in MCU. They do follow every major event from the Avengers line and the standalone movies, but no major event from AoS was ever reflected in MCU. Coulson is still dead after the first Avengers movie, SHIELD was disbanded completely after CA: Winter Soldier revealed them being infiltrated by Hydra, the organization doesn't exist anymore from that point on, while in AoS they still do run in background by several people, even by Coulson himself. So that connection works only from AoS to MCU, not backwards. AoS doesn't explain what exactly happened in MCU with the Helicarrier, they only gave us an alternative as to what could happen, if SHIELD still was a thing in Age of Ultron (which it wasn't).
@@Croftice1 It IS canon, but it splits off into an alternate timeline. To start with though, they're still a part of the same universe and it's all connected to the MCU
In the chase scene with Cap, ultron, and Widow, I noticed that when ultron uses his power to lift the ground he might be thinking of his evil plan to drop Sokovia
AoU is definitely one of the best MCU movies in terms of characterization and character moments. Think about the fact that it had to follow up The Avengers. That's an insanely high bar.
Age of Ultron is actually my fourth favorite MCU movie (the cap movies are my top three, I love Steve's story arc) and is definitely my favorite Avengers movie. It acts as a great bridge between where we were before and where we are now and really shows how much The Avengers have grown as a family. Honestly, AoU shows their dynamics and who they are as people, not just heroes, better than most of the others (Civil War probably comes in at a close second for characters and dynamics, but it's actively pulling them apart) Anyways, Age Of Ultron is a 10/10 for me
I’m watching the movies along then watching these videos immediately after and I always loved age of Ultron but watching now after everything that happens in endgame makes it so much better.
Very very underrated. Just watched it again and couldn't shut it off. It is a really really good movie, humor, heart, heros, villains, action, comedy, teamwork family, great action, camera angles and shots. It's very underrated
In regards to Ultron dying off-screen. I believe there's an old saying "Never count someone dead unless you have the body in front of you." (And in some cases, not even then)
Tbh, this is my second fav Avengers movie, next to Endgame. I always really liked how this movie actually has all of the heroes working together, it just feels right to me.
we're the Avengers. We can bust arms dealers all the livelong day, but that up there... that's the endgame." of course totally that was foreshadowing for what eventually came to pass
Holy cow! I usually think that channels like this stretch to make connections, but now that I have watched this, the connections that it makes and foreshadowing, it is mind boggling
Though most people end up rating this lower compared to other MCU films, this one is by far my favorite. It feels oddly perfect for some reason and Ultron just sells this movie so well (they need to bring him back so badly ;D;).
It's one of my favourite marvel movies together with winter solder. I don't care what other says I really enjoyed how much story it had and I am keep rewatching it 😍
I really like the Act One of Three approach with this, while there is obvious info missing between AoU and IW that wouldnt make sense if you watched them together as 3, the biggest themes of AoU do get cherry picked so well and placed into the rest that it honestly makes this movie better in retrospect
It's actually better to look at it as act 1 AoU, act 2 civil war, Act 3 Infinity War/End Game. This movie had way more set up for civil war than it did infinity war.
@@time2rowco999 it's the base plate of the holder, technically not a "clutch" it's the pressure plate that clamps on to the clutch when engaging a gear
I've always loved this movie it has some minor flaws but ones that don't bother me too much. The charachters are still onpoint and their actions make sense for each one

If you play age of Ultron and infinity war side by side, Thanos snaps exactly when Cap is cut off at the end

Indeed. It is useful to watch Civil War and then go back to AOU and you can see where the cracks are starting to form.
But when you take it as a movie in and of itself it's not as good as several other MCU movies, and when you take as an Avengers sequel then it is a bit too similar. But it is fun enough for sure, and is cool with hindsight of other later movies.
You need Civil War to understand Infinity War so yes its atleast a 4 part series but you need (IM1?) The Avengers (1st avengers movie) as well.
Also because Thor and Hulk are offworld at the time
@@TestarossaF110 Almost like it's actually a 20 part story. An infinity saga, if you will
When Ultron talks all I can hear is Robert California saying something weird to Jim 😂

Ultron gaining consciousness for the first time is one of the best moments of the movie, Spader did so well !

Is the statue of the Avengers at the end a throw back to the statue at the begining of the movie of the first responders on Grand Central Station?
Yes, as well as the Greek statues that are the basis for the perfect bodies that most of if not all comic book characters have.
