Avengers: Age of Ultron Review

Age Of Ultron
    When I saw Avengers: Age of Ultron I came with high expectations, hoping it would have lived up to the hype. The movie starts off with the Avengers starting a raid on a Hydra base, searching for Loki's weapon. 
     Hydra introducing what is referred to as "The Twins" to try and stop the Avengers, which is really Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver begin fighting the Avengers, while Tony Stark searches for the weapon.
   Bruce doesn't seem to mind being the hulk so much, until once he turns back. Black Widow and Bruce begin a love story, because why not? It's a movie, it's got to have romance somewhere.
    When Tony finds the weapon, Scarlet Witch somehow sneaks up on him, and sees into his mind, playing on his worst fears. After seeing into his mind, she allows him to take the staff, knowing it would lead to his destruction.
    Tony then takes the staff back to the Avengers HQ, to do some sort of research on it with Bruce before Thor takes it back to his home, Asgard.
    Now this is where it gets good. Tony and Bruce begin experimenting on the weapon, finding that inside is some sort of computer, or A.I.
   Tony, always wanting to "push the limits of science and save the world" begins trying to create the A.I into a functional system that can create world peace, calling it the "Ultron Project." Bruce Banner reluctantly follows Tony's lead, because hey, this is Tony Stark we're talking about.
   Once Ultron is created, it somehow takes over the system after being active for literally 5 minutes and just decides to destroy the world. It begins to develop robots immediately, and tells the Avengers through one of them that they will be destroyed for the cause of peace. (Cause why else would he want to do it?)
   Ultron finds Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, and team up because they have a common enemy: The Avengers. So the classic 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' scenario plays out and they go to work.
   Ultron builds more robots, and begins looking for Adamantium (The indestructible metal), the avengers somehow lose that battle due to Scarlet Witch playing on almost all of the teams fears and minds again, and they go into hiding after a devastating loss.
   Hawkeye takes them to a safe place, they find out Hawkeye has a family, and Bruce and Black Widow's love story plays out more but this time they search for sympathy in the audience, seeing as how they have similar stories since they both have lost and hurt many.
   Thor goes off to do his own thing for a while after having his fears exposed by Scarlet Witch, and doesn't show up for a while. They never really explain this part for some reason, he just goes in a pool and lightning occurs, and BAM he's better again.
   Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver find out that Ultron plans to destroy the world, and begin to help the Avengers. Vision becomes created as Ultron wants to become a cyborg in a way, and the Avengers steal the body, and Tony implant a form of J.A.R.V.I.S into it (The team reluctantly allows this, even after he did this the first time and that's how this mess started).
   Once the whole team is united, they go to stop Ultron in the big battle you've all been hoping for.
Overall I give this movie a 8/10, since some of this is practically forced on you, and they even miss or don't explain a lot of this movie.
