Trailer Review: Avengers: Age Of Ultron


Well here I was safe with the knowledge that Avenger 2 trailer would drop next week, and well, when I wake up this morning all that composure was blown away with excitement, that caught me literally in my pyjama bottoms. With the internet going crazy, Youtubers vlogging, Journalists writing, and well this humble blogger sat in his Pj's, it is only fitting that we discuss the trailer 2015's most highly anticipated film.
 Firstly, wow! This trailer delivers on so many levels that it was more exhilarating than many of the films I have seen this year, here's looking at you Micheal Bay. Yes, Joss Whedon's second fundamental instalment into the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to be living up to the insurmountable amount of hype surrounding it.
We all know that if there is an Achilles' Heel to Marvel, besides Loki, villains would be it. Throughout their triumphant construction of their cinematic universe the bad guys, to some extent, haven't been bad enough. For instance, The Mandarin from Iron Man 3 was a dud, and even The Chitauri (you don't know how long it took me to spell that correctly) from the first Avengers film were nothing more than cannon fodder. Everywhere we look nothing has stood out as iconic, until now. It Seems James Spader lending his voice to Ultron maybe one of the great examples of terrific Marvel Castings. The eeriness of the mechanically cold voice, slowly taunting the audience, left me with goosebumps. I loved the Pinocchio reference, of having no strings. I believe that speaks volumes of the menacing robot, suggesting the threat of artificial intelligence, but perhaps speaking  greater volumes of the detrimental restraints of humanity. I just can't wait to see more of Ultron.
 This feeds in greatly to the tone of this trailer. Unlike, previous Marvel films this certainly seems more darker, even verging on apocalyptic. There is an image that sticks out, which capture this desolation, that being Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) quivering aboard the Quinjet. This represents the sheer conflict that will surround this character in this film, and giving us insight into why he is fighting it off against fellow Science Bro, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr). Who by the way is sporting a very muscular get up, in what can only be the Hulkbuster armour. I feel their struggle and Banner's personal demons will be a pivotal part of the plot, and maybe their conflict can be explained due to Loki's mind control staff, that was presented after credits in Captain America 2 firmly in the hands of Hydra, maybe coming into significance?
 Overall, this trailer is out of this world in terms of its brilliance. I can wait for this picture, and I know there is so much more left to talk about that we haven't even seen yet. But, to keep discussion flowing, and to uncover all the stuff that I didn't have time to review, I will be doing as part of Top Five Fridays, the most important five things to look out for in The Avenger Age Of Ultron Trailer, that will be coming your way tomorrow.
 Thank You for reading and I hope you have enjoyed this trailer as much as I have.
