The avenger 2 Well, to put it mildly, they are. Somehow, somewhere, in the midst of
exploding cities, and the aforesaid Sokovia “where things are very
bad”, robots with a semblage of artificial intelligence are springing
out of assembly lines and jumping straight into war.
These robotic troops have been marshalled by “Ultron”, forged from a
combination of the other-wordly scepter and Stark’s very own programme
Jarvis (voiced by Paul Bettany). The stuff of sci-fi from time
immemorial comes to pass again when humankind messes with things it
barely understands, particularly when that humankind basically means
Tony Stark (Downey Jr). Ultron, whom he is hoping to create as the
harbinger of peace, has his own ideas on how that peace can be brought
about, leading to world annihilation usually left to the kinds of
aliens.
There’s no Loki here from the first Avengers. But the team of
Stark/Iron Man, Steve/Captain America (Evans), Bruce/The Hulk (Ruffalo),
Natasha/Black Widow (Johansson), Thor (Hemsworth) and Barton/Hawkeye
(Runner) have their hands full with Ultron (voiced by Spader) and a pair
of “Enhanced” twins. The latter two have special powers which allow the
boy (Taylor-Johnson) to move like wind, and the girl (Olsen) to
manipulate minds.
There’s also a budding romance and galloping chemistry between Bruce
and Natasha, portrayed wistfully and playfully by Ruffalo and Johansson.
Barton gets a family, including a pregnant wife and two children,
tucked away on farmland in an undulating countryside. And the values as
portrayed by the earnest Steve and the flamboyant Stark continue to
clash.
