Normally, this would be a list of 15 of our favorite films this year, but instead, we’ve chosen the five we’ve loved most with three reasons as to why. It ends up being 15 in the end, get it? Yes? No? Hopefully.

Film Friday | Avengers: Age of Ultron

Released Date: May 1, 2015 Written and Directed By: Joss Whedon based off of Stan Lee’s comics Starring: Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson // Paul Bettany as Vision and James Spader as the voice of Ultron

Superhero movies are meant to be fun -- an escape from our day to day lives. A reminder that in an alternate universe, caped heroes with epic gear can save us from confused robots or alien invasions. And when it comes to the Avengers, they do it in style. At this point is it pretty much a well-known fact that Marvel films are always the best. And if that’s simply my opinion then so be it. I can honestly say my biggest problem is that the film wasn’t longer.

Age of Ultron was captivating -- the film you’d want to watch over and over again. Beyond the gripping storyline, performances were exceptional, and with an ensemble cast like this, it’s rare for each actor to hold their own while shining masterfully as a group.
