AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON 1080P COKE AND POPCOEN==RN MOVIE
It's downright anthemic - but it also sets a bar the movie is never able to clear again. You'll hear a lot about the opening sequence of the film, and for good reason: it's an incredible piece of action filmmaking, staged as a single shot with one of the most triumphant reveals I've ever seen in this kind of movie. **Warning: very mild plot spoilers ahead** So with Whedon returning for Avengers: Age of Ultron, my expectation was that he would up the ante once again, tackling those high expectations by uniting the disparate threads of the Marvel universe and showing everyone how it’s really done. More importantly, the film's colossal success allowed the studio to take some chances, and movies like Captain America: Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy have since shown off unique styles and approaches that step outside the confines of the ordinary comic book movie, elevating the films even further.

But that one scene elevated an entire franchise, and $1.5 billion later, Joss Whedon had cemented the Marvel empire as a blockbuster factory. Given that we were dealing with larger-than-life characters like Thor and Captain America, it was nothing short of a miracle.

After five and a half movies’ worth of comic book acrobatics and space villains, we were suddenly watching just a handful of scared people in a room, acting all too human. It was the scene when Agent Coulson died, and our comic book heroes turned on each other - backbiting, blaming, lashing out as their center collapsed. The Avengers was the film that made me fall in love with Marvel’s Cinematic Universe.
