in what ways is avengers: age of ultron a typical hollywood film?

since all Hollywood films made have a large budget and are made by generally well known directors, they are almost always similar in at least one aspect. avengers: age of ultron is no different, and shares many qualities with other Hollywood films.

firstly, it is not the first film in the franchise, so it does not have to introduce the characters and have backstories, and instead quickly goes into the actual film. it also has a lot of well known characters in the film playing characters, such as Samuel Jackson, Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey jr, whereas a independently made superhero film, such as kick-ass, tends to have less well-known actors. this is used as to make people watch the film, as they are more familiar with the actors and so they are more likely to see the film.

secondly, the use of CGI and special effects in the film is also a typical Hollywood feature, as the production company has a larger budget and therefore they can use more of the money on the effects, while films made by independent companies will tend to have less CGI and special effects, as they have less money to begin with. most marvel productions use CGI and special effects as they are needed in there films, as they are usually about superheroes, and so will need it to make the film look more believable, but there are still exceptions, such as the marvel TV series daredevil, which uses very little CGI and special effects.

another way that avengers is a typical Hollywood film is the plot. in many Hollywood action films, there is the general plot of the heroes fighting and losing, and then them fighting again and winning. this used in most films, but there are exceptions to this, such as the dark knight where two-face dies and batman goes into hiding as people believe that he killed him, instead of telling people that he turned evil.

lastly, it also has a large amount of editing in the film, which is very typical of Hollywood action films. it uses a lot of match on action and a lot of different shots to make the fight scene feel a lot more complex and interesting, but independent film companies usually use a lot less match on action shots as it is more expensive and more time consuming
