Movie Review Avengers 2: Age of Ultron The Avengers: Age of Ultron earned million within the first three days of showing in the United States. I thought the Age of Ultron is a solid sequel, but it is not as good as the first Avenger film. The action is the biggest strength of the film, just like all recent Marvel movies. It's incredibly fun and exciting to watch. The humour was pretty good too, although I found that it was a bit over the top and not always used at the best moment, similar to Thor: Dark World. Marvel also did a relatively good job of developing the characters, considering that this film had even more superheroes than the first Avengers, as well as incorporating lesser superheroes from previous films, like War Machine and The Falcon. Overall I would give the film a 7/10. By Rachel Mery, 3éme. Lyon by Anna

Simon and Garfunkel's two beautiful voices, perfectly merge taking you on harmonious journey far, far away... when should you listen to it, preferably on a Friday night comfortably seated in your biggest, most comfortable sofa (with some tea or anything soothing ). -"Television rules the Nation" one of Daft Punk's grooviest pieces. Pioneers of the "French touch movement" (deep house/electro movement ) the Daft Punk's simple but efficient riff is as catchy as can be.
