'Avengers: Age of Ultron' transports moviegoers to another world

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Movie fans turned out in droves for the overnight opening of the new Marvel movie, "Avengers: Age of Ultron." The film earned more than $27 million during its Thursday debut.

The latest Marvel adventure pulls out all the stops in the making of a superhero spectacle. For about two hours, moviegoers are completely transported to another world and made to feel like kids again.

"You have that magical thing that happens in the movies," said Scarlett Johansson, who plays the character Black Widow. "It's why I love to go to movies and why I love being in the movies -- is that you get to have that rare chemical thing that happens when a movie works and you just get to disappear into another world, another life for a few hours."

Co-star Elizabeth Olsen is new to the franchise, but agrees with Johansson.

"You can watch it and be a little kid, be in awe of the action, but then an adult can watch it and be captivated by the human story and the world story," Olsen said. "There are ways that people can watch and relate to it and be caught up."

"They appeal to a bit of you that's willing to suspend belief and believe in superheroes," said Paul Bettany, who plays the Vision. "If you're not prepared to do that, you'll get up and leave, because it won't speak to you."

"It's family entertainment and it's funny. It's action-packed," said Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who plays Quicksilver. "For a minute, you believe that actually these guys do exist in the world. That's kind of cool."

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" is in theaters now and is rated PG-13.
