Avengers Review: Age of Ultron

Action packed, filled with jokes, and a swarm of the best superhumans..?! I don't know about you, but that sound like Avengers to me. Age of Ultron. That just sounds awesome. If any of you have ever seen my Pinterest, you know how involved I am in the Marvel fandom (let me just summarize: a lot).

*DISCLAIMER: SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON*
Okay. Okay okay okay. LETS JUST TALK ABOUT THOSE FLASHBACKS. Particularly Steve's. WHERE HE THOUGHT OF PEGGY. Let me be honest, I didn't think they would mention Peggy (mostly because it's secondary to the main plot). But I was so happily surprised to see Agent Peggy Carter in the flashback. No matter how much pain/feeling/crying it brought me. Regardless, the fandom thrives on being masochists.
Now back tracking to the first word of the entire movie. Tony cussing. And Steve calling him out. *applauds, bows, and falls over*.
The twins. Oh the twins (and the pain they bring me). Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver have always been a personal favorite of mine and their addition to the Avengers team was fantastic (well, maybe just the one of them).
One thing I greatly admired was how they were to incorporate so many emotional scenes into a such an action packed film. I find that's always important: making sure action and violence doesn't distract from the plot and the fact that despite being talented and extraordinary, they have feelings and emotions just as anyone else does.
Ultron is probably one of the creepiest heroes ever only because HIS VOICE SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF ME. Everything about him just made my skin crawl for some reason. Bleh.
At this point, all the references they made to past movies (and their personal lives) made the little "feels" part of my heart go BOOM BOOM BOOM. Seeing Nick Fury back in on the action and CLINT HAVING A WIFE AND KIDS was also part of the reason there was a lot of squealing and crying coming from seat F18 in the movie theater.

So overall, lots of BOOM BOOM, a lot of strangled sobs from me, and STEGGY feels. All in a lovely afternoon.

An Update On My Very Average Life

You may be asking me, “Kimia, why haven’t you posted in 200 million years?” (You also may not be). Well, my lovely readers (I say to my mom, the only person who probably reads this), school has consumed the tiny sliver of sanity I had regained this summer holiday. The extremely ironic bit of all of this is that this is probably my most hell-like, study prep madness weekend of the year and I’m choosing to spend that time complaining and updating you on my average life. While my best friend frolics in San Francisco and tours Berkley, I sit on my pistachio-colored futon with every book my school has ever given me and a crapton of scribbled notes scattered around me in a pool of desperation. But avoiding responsibilities and shopping for flowers are my two specialties and will probably be the headline for my college transcript. So, now it’s time for a quick update I always seem to be making. The school year started with the sound of whoopee cushion and a lot of late night ra...

12 Things To NEVER Say To A Harry Potter Fan

“You have the emotional range of a teaspoon…” Ringing any bells for you? If not, I hope you excuse my bluntness when I ask you, what are you doing here? HARRY POTTER!! Of all the fanbases in the world, I think it is safe to say that Harry Potter is considered a legend. It’s like the great great grandfather of all the other fandoms everywhere. So because I’m feeling more Potter-ish this week (and because school has begun, being yet another reminder of how I NEVER GOT TO GO TO HOGWARTS), I’ve decided to make a list. A list of 12 things to NEVER say to a Harry Potter fan. “They’re just children’s books.” Yeah, and you’re just a muggle, but it’s not like I take time out of my day to tell you that. Muggle. “I haven’t read any of the books.” Yeah, instead you probably spent all that time you could have been reading, eating the filling between oreos and then throwing them at innocent children. “Quidditch is stupid.” Or even worse “Quidditch isn’t a real sport.” Try telling me...

SUICIDE SQUAD

Image
Let us all take a moment in appreciation and awe at how amazing the Marvel and DC franchises both are (mostly for giving us stills and sneak peeks that don’t absolutely suck). Despite my fresh, blooming rage (think flowers, not fire) for the upcoming movie “Pan”, the movies destined for 2016 have me more than excited to fast forward to their release dates (except for Christmas. I’m not missing Christmas). Despite my heavy involvement and passion for the Marvel fanbase, I’ve decided to turn my attention to the DC side of the spectrum. This, obviously, is for one reason. Drum roll please...SUICIDE SQUAD. I’d like the begin with an equation. Viola Davis + Cara Delevingne + Jared Leto + Margot Robbie = a very happy Kimia. For anyone who doesn’t know about this movie or has been living under a rock, here is a short synopsis on what’s going down in this villan filled thriller. A.R.G.U.S. (this super secret government agency) creates a task force with all of the most inten...
