Avengers: Age of Ultron

I went last Saturday to see the newest Avengers movie with my best friend (Taylor Keyes). We are completely obsessed with the Marvel Universe and could not wait to see the latest installment. It was such an AMAZING movie, but of course every Marvel movie is.
I recently read an article stating how the movie had an underlying message of how humans are slowly destroying themselves. In the movie, Bruce Banner(the Hulk) and Tony Stark(Iron Man) have been working on a robot that could potentially help them, and then everything goes incredibly wrong. The robot instead takes advantage of its new life and is determined to destroy the human race and ultimately the Avengers to gain peace and a new world of metal.
As I read the article, this message made more and more sense. We as a society have grown to just take the easy way out of everything, and blame things on everyone else. The robot is Ultron, hence the name of the film, and he kills to get his twisted version of "peace". We go out of our way to try to make things new and improved, but sometimes they can backfire on us. Sometimes we do more harm than good.
The Avengers spend the movie dealing with the mess Ultron has created, as well as battling personal demons. Ultron has two allies who are twins, who then turn against him. They team up with the Avengers to fight for the greater good and save the world. As a country we become so caught up in our own problems and what we want, that we do not let anyone else in. When the Avengers let the twins help them regardless of what happened before, they beat Ultron. If we let go of our past afflictions with countries and even people, we can succeed.
So not only is the new Avengers movie the bomb, it also has really great messages. So go see it!
