Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailer Review

The first trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron, the upcoming sequel to The Avengers, has been released, and it looks great.
The creators of this movie said that it would be going in a darker direction than its predecessor, and it shows in the trailer. The creepy rendition of the "I've got no strings" song from Pinocchio was an interesting touch. Overall, there is a feeling that they are up against a bigger and more difficult threat than in the last one. The shot at the end with Captain America's broken shield seems to drive that in. I think that they will have moments of humor like in the last movie, but they weren't in this dark trailer.

But the darkness makes this trailer all the more entertaining. It hints toward more drama, and shows some very intense action sequences.

One of the things that sticks out is James Spader's performance as the villain Ultron. He seems very threatening in this role. I like his performance in the show The Blacklist, and he seems to be taking the same energy to this role.

So in conclusion, though the sense of humor of the last movie is not in this trailer, it still looks very good. This trailer has gotten me excited, and I can hardly wait for this movies release next summer.

4.5 out of 5 stars
