Why watch this? We wanted more Avengers and this epic gave us a heaping second helping.

Plot Summary: The Avengers retrieve the gem stone from Loki's scepter and discover an artificial intelligence within it. When Tony Stark merges the AI, named Ultron, with his benevolent computer, J.A.R.V.I.S, it decides humanity is the true threat. Now, Earth's mightiest heroes must come together to stop Ultron from enacting it terrible plan to purge the Earth of humankind.ck

Dad's Preview: After the iconic Avengers (2012) film, Marvel Studios simply kept its very successful Feige-train running, and Age of Ultron effectively ended their Phase Two. This film scores on its further interactions between the team members. I really love the scene where they're having some drinks and all try to lift Thor's hammer. The amount of CGI is massive, as are the action sequences. It has even been called "over-stuffed". But overall, the film is a fulfilling super-hero experience, and left me wanting more Avengers on film.
