In an interview with Joss Whedon while talking about his highly anticipated Avengers sequel he described the technique and inspiration coming from the Godfather part 2. He wanted to make a sequel that doesn’t play off the same technique or base as it’s first. So when this movie comes it. It has more heart and depth with the characters. It is great having it start with the team already set and the action starts the second the movie opens.

The characters including Bruce Banner, Black Widow, and Hawkeye  get a lot more involved and you see a lot more emotion from them rather than the traditional Captain, Iron Man, and Thor standing in the limelight the whole time. All while you get introduced to Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Vision! Visions birth is one of the coolest part of the movie. Just being able to put a face and body onto Tony Starks Jarvis.

Knowing the storyline from the comics, this movie has a lot of emotions attached to it. Excitement with the new additions and possibly new team altogether. With the deep connection you have made with the Hulk, Hawkeye, and Black Widow you see them almost as brand new. The story not only is giving more depth to their story but giving introduction to Captain America 3, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and Avengers 3, and even a step towards Black Panther.If you want to stay caught up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe this movie is a must.

While the movie attempts at more heart and depth it was still able to keep the fun and comedy that people loved watching in the first film. The chemistry stays strong with the base members and adding more members and characters from that were apart of a lot of the solo films made it amazing to see everyone interact.

Tech and acting wise, the actors were able to keep their strong character used in the first Avengers and their solo movies. The camera pans and the special effects with Ultron and Black widow and Quicksilvers superpowers definitely stepped the level up in Marvel movies.

Where from here? This movie definitely hit the ground running for phase three and the movie did not disappoint. You are on the edge of your seat with back to back action, comedy, and excitement. You will be walking out of the theaters jumping with anticipation for the Marvel movies to come.

I gave this film 8.5 stars
