My Top 5 takeaways from "Avengers: Age of Ultron"

While I would never be considered a full-blown fan boy, I am a fan of comic book superheroes, having been a casual reader of Spider-Man, Batman, The Avengers, Justice League and various other titles as a young fella.

The recent run of comic book heroes to hit the big and small screens has rekindled my childhood enthusiasm for the genre. I've especially enjoyed Christopher Nolan's take on Batman, Bryan Singer's approach with the X-Men and Joss Whedon's assembling of the Avengers.

See what I did there with the Avengers? Assembling. Okay. Sorry.

My family went to see "Avengers: Age of Ultron" the weekend that it opened and we thoroughly enjoyed it. More than enough action and adventure to keep us on the edge of our chairs and some compelling dramatic scenes that my wife and I appreciated.

So here's the list of my Top 5 thoughts inspired by "Avengers: Age of Ultron."

• Good grief! James Spader really is Ultron! #spooky
• No matter how noble his intentions, Tony Stark will always be driven by his massive ego.
• If Captain America is the heart of the Avengers, then Hawkeye is the soul of the team.
• Black Widow is, without question, the coolest Avenger.
• Hawkeye is a husband AND daddy?!?!?! Explains why he's the soul of the Avengers.
