New movies are released into theaters every weekend. How do you decide which movie to watch? I’ll save you the hassle of researching every movie by comparing the new releases for each weekend in this column. Then, I’ll tell you which movie you should watch in the theaters.
For the weekend of May 1st, the only new movie in wide release is Avengers: Age of Ultron. Since it’ll automatically win, I’ll rank the Avengers from the Best to the Very Best.
| Avengers: Age of Ultron | My personal ranking of the Avengers. |
| Clearest Title | Sequel to the Avengers | #7: Nick Fury (wait, does he even count?) |
Best Genre
and Rating | Action
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action, violence and destruction, and for some suggestive comments. | #6: Thor, Hawkeye, Captain America, Iron Man. |
Best Plot
(in haiku form) | Avengers unite
Cause A.I. taking over
World’s at stake. Again. | #5: N/A |
| Best Trailer | PROS: Seems epic. It’s the Avengers!!!!
CONS: Perhaps none? | #4: N/A |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, and Jeremy Renner. | #3: N/A |
| Best Cast | Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Paul Bettany, and Cobie Smulders | #2: N/A |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writer and Director Joss Whedon also wrote and directed Firefly, Buffy, and The Avengers. | #1: The Hulk and Black Widow |
So out of a maximum of 7 points per movie, Avengers: Age of Ultron wins all seven points.
You may interpret this column for your own movie preferences. For example, if you don’t like spending money on movies, feel free not to watch Avengers 2. However, if you are still on the fence, please read the following conclusions from the scientific data gathered in this column.
Conclusion 1: On paper, Avengers: Age of Ultron is the best movie to watch this weekend.
Conclusion 2: Each week I give a gold star to the movie with the best tagline, so of course, Avengers “A New Age Begins” wins.
Conclusion 3: This is going to make some money.
