No, this is what all superhero movies aspire to be. Great action, great villain, great characters, and superb dialogue. If you haven't seen the other Marvel movies, you will be lost as to what's going on. If you have seen them, you know what to expect, and you'll have a blast. Go see this movie! Expand

This is such a great follow-up to The AvengersII, Captain America II, Thor II and Iron Man III, it fits even better than I thought my expectations! The story behind it is very well done.

They are perfectly matched together and this film is no different. I am slightly concerned that this one may pale into comparison in the long run especially after Infinity War comes out and I’m not even certain I would say that it is better than the first film, but it is a very good film and it was well worth the wait!!! It’s not a perfect film by any means but it’s a good enough film that you really will ignore most of the flaws though I suspect some long time fans might be slightly disappointed by this film. The characters are great, the acting is great, the action sequences are once again excellent and it sets up Phase 3 pretty well especially in the post credit scene which I would recommend you stick around to see. The film does kind of bank on the fact that you have seen most of the Marvel Movies prior to seeing this, but I would say that’s not entirely essential, although I would recommend at a minimum you have seen the previous Avengers Assemble and if you have time, see Captain America the Winter Soldier.

I really liked it, I wouldn’t say for certain that it outdoes the first film, but I wasn’t expecting it to outdo it and I’m not sure it needs to do that. It just needed to be really good and be an excellent conclusion to Phase 2 of Marvel, even though, technically the conclusion of Phase 2 is going to be Ant Man, but spiritually this is the end of Phase2. Bring on Phase 3 I say, I’m ready to go.

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 humor 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.

The biggest weakness of the film is the plot. It was far too similar to the first film. For example, it had the "Avenger versus Avenger" fight sequences early in the film, the "Avengers get their ass kicked" segment in the middle, the "trickster" villain who seeks to beat the Avengers by turning them against each other, and the final sequence where the Avengers fight against disposable henchmen, save random people, and defeat the villain. It was all too predictable and got a bit tedious near the end.

The dialogue was also too cheesy at times. Overall, it felt like the events of this film didn't really matter that much, except to set up the story for the third film.

In the end though, we don't watch Marvel superhero movies for deep storytelling or meaning, but for the fun action and witty one-liners. The film was certainly fun to watch so I give it a solid 7/10.

The experience wasI watched the midnight screening of this movie, which began around 11:00 p.m.. I was exhausted because the film is long, which is practically its greatest downside when you are in a packed theater with a horrible seat. The experience was great, however. I went with 6 friends, and when I arrive to the theater, I received a poster that I will hang on my wall.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron is bigger, better, and boulder than the first film. Sure it repeat a lot of same formulas of the first film, but to different effects on a very different narrative. In the first Avengers movie we had the Thor vs. Hulk fight sequence. In this movie we were given the Ironman vs. Hulk. There are complains about its repetition but frankly speaking, who doesn't like the vs sequences. As geek, nerd, fanatics we love the cartoon episodes and comic books that pit characters against each other. We know their gods, and just because they're good guys it doesn't mean the writers shouldn't cater to our interest and see them clash. Reviews who complain about the writers of Age of Ultron following the same formula clearly aren't fans of the Marvel universe.

The movies pacing was solid. I personally had a difficulty following the first hour of the first avengers movies. I felt the first hour was sloppy because they jumped too much between too many characters and too many universes trying to push a union and conflict. In other words, the editing was sloppy until the end when I was simply wowed by the big explosions.

The Age of Ultron, however, is better. It doesn't struggle with introducing too many universes, too many character for the first time, and so we get a better film over all - with a better first hour as well.

I did not mind the concept of beauty tames the beast in the film. Black Widow is stunning (beautiful) and the Hulk is, well, the hulk. They may not have the best onscreen chemistry together, and yes it came out of nowhere, but attractions and romance, in truth, can be spontaneous.

Ultron is a bad-ass villain in the film. I loved his wit, and I was rooting for him. The true disappointment in the film was the Vision. He was forged with the strongest steel in the world, carries an infinity stone, and his best power is his cape-shape-ability. He was pathetic. Looked cool, however.

Sure the movie is not consistent with the Marvel universe. To get Ultron for this movie, changes had to be made somewhere. Marvel studio didn't want to wait to follow the natural story arc to reveal Ultron as a villain, so they had Stark create Ultron in an attempt to save the world from future threats. Ultron then goes on quest to form the perfect body, which the avengers end up stealing and animating - ultimately becoming the Vision. However, Tony Stark's bouncer is on par with the rest of the heroes, so he more of gimmick than a story changing character.

A major part of the story revolves around Hawkeye and Black Widow. People complain about this, but I think it was a change from the traditional formula were we follow the overpowered bad-asses of the film. Hawkeye is more vulnerable than Tony Stark, Captain America, or Hulk. Seeing him get wounded and almost killed actually helps you realize how power the other heroes really are. Like they say in the film, the Avengers are like gods.

When you watch this film, don't focus on who creates Ultron and realize you were given a piece of candy. Enjoy It. The film looks good and the cast of actor are solid. Plus, I like the fact that Ultron is created from the mind that exists within the infinity stone (making him a bad-ass villain for the film), and the same infinity stone which the Vision carries on his forehead. I hate the fact that he had to die at the end. I was hoping a part of him survived.

In truth I give this movie a 9/10, but I always score 1 point higher than I actually believe its worth to try an offset extreme scores which are at times, overly bias, intentional, of ignorance - once you've studied statistic you realize how useless these numbers can sometimes be, especially "averages scores".

There is a heartfelt death in the film.

- Ultron as the bad guy is very pale and uninsteresting- even though he DOES have some kind of personality, he totally lacks of charisma- the essential ingredient for a good villian.
- I doubt that there will be enough new stuff to fill into another sequel. In every saga, there comes the point where you get bored by seeing the same actors acting the same way again.

The first film wasn’t actually too bad, but Marvel have reached their nadir here with this preposterously over long (Eugene O’Neill long is right!) bum numbing drivel. It suffers from an excess of toos. Aside from being too long, there’s too much noise, too much exposition and too much nonsensical talk. In fact, too much of everything bar entertainment. It is essentially brain dead gibberish. Ok, so the special effects are as predictably good as they should be for a film of this budget but everything else falls way short. The actors’ characterisations add nothing by way of compensation. Indeed, two members of the ‘B’ rated cast distinguish themselves by not cutting it even alongside this low standard of performance. Aaron Taylor-Johnson seems to whisper his way through the film as if not convinced he should be there, and Samuel L Jackson is just laughable in his eye patch. He has never been able to live up to his iconic early performance in ‘Pulp Fiction’ and most of his appearances these days are in thankless supporting parts like this. As in previous Marvel outings the attempts at humour fail miserably. However, unintentional laughter is evoked here by attempting, but failing, at pathos in a handful of scenes. The budding romance between Johansson and Ruffalo is lame and one only wishes that they would take their own advice to each other and ‘Disappear’. At the film’s close as I raced for the exit I was only too well aware that everyone else was transfixed, eagerly anticipating the possible nuggets that were going to be thrown up during or after the credits. I knew that I need not stay as I was never going to encounter these characters again in my lifetime. Amazingly the critics have been surprisingly kind to this elephant sized mess. To re-energize my brain I went home and tuned into an episode of the TV series ‘Wolf Hall’, an entertainment of real pedigree that offered me more in five minutes than this did in 141. Expand

The movie is a tedious one though, it strives to be a majestic experience, but it is slow and tiring and by the end, you still want to watch more Wheadon, and that is what makes me buy Age Of Ultron. Even though it was slow and boring at times, I want to watch it again. It is full of Easter eggs, hidden secrets and pop culture references. Which makes it fresh, original and kind of...exciting. Overall, we have seen better from the gang, and this won't be the last time we see them, but this movie still is a must watch. Love it or hate it, Age Of Ultron delivers, and you better admit that before Hulkbuster kicks your ass. Expand

The movie is basically a better version of the first Avengers movie, Avengers Assemble. They were able to pick up on their mistake on how useless Halkeye was in the first movie, and made him a lot more relevant and cool in this movie. The movie contained lots of action just like the first one. The whole plot of the story will tie in very well to the next Captain America and Avengers film. I also loved that Quicksilver and Scarlet witch did not have a tiny part in this movie also. They were as important as the rest of the Avengers. Paul Bettany did a incredible job portraying/acting Vision and the costume design was PHENOMENAL. James Spader's voice acting of Ultron was also on point. (Overall: An amazing movie with tons of action, humorous moments, awesome costume design and GREAT acting, 10/10) (I also suggest you wait for the credits to end for a little Avengers 3 clip) Expand

It also represents a changing of the guard, so to speak, for the Marvel Universe. With their new focus geared more toward characters who have yet to have their own movies yet (Ant-man and Dr. Strange), the end to this movie does a good job in setting up what is to come, especially if they make a stand alone Spider man movie where he joins the Avengers later on. As for the movie itself, it certainly wasn't as dramatic as the first one was and alot of the impact was lost with a few too many faces. Also with the shift in direction, a few characters probably won't be heard of again until the next Avengers movie way down the line. However, this movie will probably be more remember for what it sets up than what actually happened. Ultron was a decent villain but certainly not memorable. And Tony Starks involvement in creating him and the consequences in doing it are kinda slipped under the rug. But, seeing as it is Whedon's last Marvel movie, I can kinda see him leaving a few holes here and there. There's also a definite problem with the number of characters introduced here. A few got lost in the shuffle IMO and the fact that they can't use the term "Mutant" because they don't own the rights to it also felt disingenuous. We all know what the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are and I felt like they thought I was stupid the entire time they said they were "experiments".
Still the movie is a good watch, especially for a fan of the series. You definitely shouldn't watch this without watching the rest of the marvel movies though. This is a movie made for the fans and it doesn't apologize for it.

The high points of this debate are covered with aplomb and, of course, intense visual feedback.

It's inevitable that this film will be compared to the first; however, after screening the first film a few weeks ago, it's clear that the negative comparisons are driven by nostalgia. This is not a muddled, over-hyped Michael Bay slugfest. It's a thoughtful and intense story of powerful humans, enigmatic aliens, and the dangers that threaten to corrupt us all.

But as the punchline to Marvel'sIt's hard to review this film, knowing that the three-hour director's cut we're going to eventually get will almost undoubtedly be better. As a stand-alone film, "Age of Ultron" is kind of all over the place. But as the punchline to Marvel's Phase Two, it's a satisfying ensemble character piece, packed with action, and better than it needs to be, but only just slightly. Thanks to Marvel cutting out 40 minutes from the film, the plot is both standard in its progression, and weird in its digressions and handling of violence.

The good stuff definitely outnumbers the bad: the Seoul highway chase was intense, beating out anything in Furious 7. Paul Bettany's take on The Vision was a revelation, easily the film's most interesting character. The Hulkbuster sequence ruled (despite it sugarcoating the consequences of the destruction wrought). Most of the character moments, such as those between Black Widow and Bruce Banner, were great showcases of Whedon's ability to layer these otherwise two-dimensional characters.

My biggest problem with the action is that it wants to play on such a huge scale, but doesn't show much of the consequences. There are hardly any shots of dead civilians, although based on the insanity of the destruction it should be assumed that hundreds if not thousands of innocent people died. Instead, the film spends a lot of time showing our heroes rescuing people. It defies logic. Although I understand this is technically a Disney film, the bloodless violence makes me a bit uneasy.

If it were not for Whedon's sardonic writing and the well-choreographed, fast-paced, kinetic action scenes that seem ripped straight from the pages of Marvel's finest hours, this movie would have been just par for the course. Jay from the RedLetterMedia's "Half in the Bag" described this film as the first time we are seeing chinks in the Marvel machine's armor, and I would have to agree. The editing is so disjointed at times, with half-realized ideas, that I would have to say the sum of this film's parts are greater than the whole. For instance, the sequence in Africa with Andy Serkis' character felt shoehorned in. Thor's subplot was almost entirely cut out. The relationship between Tony and Ultron was undercooked. Captain America has some great lines ("it's not about who's better, it's about who's right") but zero character development. But one of the film's glaring problems (for me) was Ultron, who didn't turn out to be as menacing as he made himself out to be in the first few scenes. His insanity angle was not convincing to me. However, my brother really liked the portrayal of the character, so there's that.

So the film is not perfect. But for what it is, it's a flawed epic, one that will likely disappoint some and invigorate others... but given the ever-increasing audience expectations and demands, it's actually amazing how well it holds together. Thank you Mr. Whedon for your hard work, and I wish you all the best moving forward.

Given how the movie ends, it felt like it was all an experiment to see how well a third movie in the franchise could be if all of the stars decide not to return. I suppose it stands to reason that Iron Man has had three standalone movies to cover that character, and that Hawkeye was completely underutilized in the first movie in the franchise, but I would have appreciated it if they could have found a better balance of screen time for this too huge cast. It really felt like a producer told the writer that they had all of these high priced actors signed on to appear in the thing, so he had better come up with a scene featuring every single one of them, no matter how little it pertained to the plot or was entertaining, “we have exposition to explain, get that former TV actress in there”. I am a longtime fan of the director’ (Joss Whedon), previous work. I suppose he did a good job strictly as a director, as all of the actors put in fine performances, but the dialog and plot were all just very flimsy. Maybe, there was a great move shot, and it was just edited together poorly. Here I go apologizing for Joss, again. I need to stop doing that. I don’t know, but either way, the experience was just not fun. The camera was always zoomed in so close to the actors that I could never keep up with where anyone was within a scene. I theorize that this was because the sets were either very underwhelming or all virtual, so the camera stayed in tight to prevent the audience from noticing. Don’t think that I failed to find any redeeming values in the movie. The gags built around Thor’s hammer were funny, and there was one stand out fight in the first half with the Hulk that had its moments, but you could watch these scenes on YouTube and skip the other two hours. Let’s face it. If you have already seen every other modern Marvel movie, nothing is going to stop you from seeing this one. Just make sure to set your expectations accordingly beforehand. I still have hope that the Avengers franchise can be fun in future installments, but, in my opinion, they did not pull it off with this one.

This is a fantastic follow-up to Avengers. Its in the top tier of MCU movies alongside Avengers, Guardians, and Cap 2.

There were a handful of things I didn't like, but they are easily overlooked in the bigger picture.
-Quicksilver deserved a longer period of character development, which will now not happen (due to spoiler)
-The case scene with Thor. WTF? How much of this scene was cut? Even as a Marvel fanboy, I struggle to understand the relevance to AoU, beyond setting up Thor 3...nonsensically
-the romantic subplot. I HATE romance in movies in general, unless thats the point of the movie. It felt forced, and it felt unnecessary.

There are times when it seemed too much was cut in editing - after all, Whedon said that over an hour of content was cut from the final product. I hope for some kind of director's cut DVD.

So many characters and plots are introduced in this movie that two movies would have made far more sense—maybe three. Ultron is a great bad guy, but is severely undersold as a result of the aforementioned issue. There just isn't enough time for any of the new characters to be developed. Their development is either rushed or lacking.

Additionally, too much time was spent on mindless action sequences. It's the usual fair we've come to accept from super hero movies: people screaming in the middle of the street as our heroes perform physic-defying feats. Don't get me wrong. These scenes can be fun. However, with so many characters and so many sub plots involved these scenes seemed more tedious and drawn out.

How long can we make groups of extras run around and scream while dumping millions into CGI? With Age of Ultron, we may have just found out.

All of this is a waste of real estate with a canvas full of interesting and exciting characters we wish would grow, but are stunted and shortened.

But hey, Hawkeye finally got some much needed fleshing out. I guess we got that.

Avengers: Age of Ultron isn't a bad movie, but with Marval's movie pedigree, I expected better. It's definitely not a waste of your money, but if you're looking for the best Marval movie to date, you'll be disappointed.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although the second installment doesn't deserve a clear 9/10, I had to give it a better score because it actually did elevate the prequel. Certainly, much of it was the same - the humor, the actors (more-less), the cinematography, the basic plot, the special effects, Hulk smash - but 'Age of Ultron' managed to add just a little something to it (having said that all of the elements from the first movie have been presented equally good) all that made the film better. It wasn't anything special, which is logical when you look at the big picture (this is, if you trust Marvel's calendar, a somewhat filler movie, made to lay out the events of the future movies, which should leave a deeper impact), but it was enough. The sequel is far more serious than the first installment, having certainly come out of the test phase, and it adds some depth to the whole franchise. This being said, one has to note that such an addition was not a problem and that the movie didn't lose any of it's original magic and awesomeness (yes, it is still a fun and awesome movie where RDJr. f*cks up and the rest of the team have to clean up after him!). Beside that, the movie gained much with the newly added characters - James Spader was absolutely fantastic providing the voice and character of Ultron (the guy was actually funny - creepy - but funny!), which is what I can say about Paul Bettany as Vision (yes, the guy actually picks up Thor's hammer!); adding other characters from the franchise (such as War Machine) was also a great move; and, finally, the Maximoffs, Pietro and Wanda, or Quicksliver and Scarlet Witch - amazing! Their genesis is great, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen were brilliantly cast and their whole story was absolutely amazing (although they could've made it a little happier...). Also, what I liked is that they finally explained why Hawkeye is useful to the team (really, after seeing 'The Avangers', I've been wondering as to what that guy is doing there - I mean, Robin Hood, really?).

As far as the negative aspects go, they're pretty much standard (lack of real depth, some unbelievable scenes and such), but you didn't expect 'Schindler's List' in the first place. It was also weird that all the people in Sokovia speak and understand English, the Audi in Sokovia and... it could've maybe ended some 15 minutes earlier but, well... you can't have everything.

All in all - a great, fun and entertaining movie you should definitely see (especially if you're a fan - it's a must see!) and a great transition to the next phase of Marvel's Cinematic Universe.

Not saying this is a groundbreaking movie that overrides its predecessor, but overall a really enjoyable marvel movie that successfully prepares itself for future expansion sequels. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To me this movie was near perfect in my opinion, let me start by saying that I absolutely loved the first avengers, up until Ultron the first Avengers was my favorite comic movie of all time but if there was one thing about the first movie that I wanted improved... it was to know the characters on a more personal level then we got in the first movie, Age of Ultron fixed that in spades...

The party at Stark's place where we got to see them mingle with non avengers as well as eachother, then how they were just hanging out having fun trying to lift Thor's hammer, you found out that heroes can have personal lives by meeting Hawkeye's family (Who knew) some might not have liked Black widow falling for Banner but I didn't mind it at all, in fact I really enjoyed it if for No other reason after 4 movies we finally got to see Black widow as a person, with feelings and wants and needs and not just the shield assassin...

Comic movies are my favorite genre but what some of them do is make it all about the hero saving the day and little or nothing else, to see them in a normal environment with friends, family or loved ones it adds a whole new dynamic to these movies, getting to Know the characters on a more personal relatable level only adds to the mythos of these characters and in the end it can only add to the experience giving this movie a 10 feels like i'm cutting it short of how good it truly was but since that's the limit for how high the scale goes that's what i'll give it.

The way in which some scenes are framed and lit are just gorgeous and a work of art - truly. Joss has certainly upped his game with this sequel. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Avengers: Age of Ultron is an exciting ride from start to finish. For readers of the comic, it was nice to see characters like Quicksilver, The Vision, Ultron, etc being transformed to the big screen for the first time. Also, this movie made me like Hawkeye more as a character. Props to the actor for a stellar performance.
Ultron was kind of an "on again off again" villain. Sometimes I was like, "yeah, he's frightening" and other times I was just confused on what he was doing. But when they most needed him to be a villain and ditch the humor (during the final battle) he delivered.
Overall, this set the stage for a lot of other things to come in the MCU but nevertheless, a very enjoyable, awesome movie that everyone should definitely check out.

It did have some flaws and weird plot points, but I am giving it a rating of 7, because you can't expect anything complex and with plot twists out of a superhero blockbuster movie - this is a movie that many people go to cinemas to watch on big screen because it has many explosions, action etc. If you make the story complex etc, you'll disappoint those who expect the usual thing, so I guess they just don't want to risk changing anything.

There is also true hero stuff, people willing to sacrifice it all and not make the easy choice of saving the most vs few, but putting it all on the line to save everyone.

I really didn't like the forced Hollywood formula crap in this movie with the two love stories going on (Hawkeye/his wife, Hulk/Natasha) I think what was really great about the original Avengers was that it didn't follow Hollywood formula much, but Age of Ultron does and if the 3rd of the series is even more Hollywood then it'll be the last Avengers I see.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Age of Ultron, like most of the Marvel films, was absolutely fantastic. The combination of action, progression of the already intriguing story arc and character development, special effects, and humor make for a great viewing experience. I thought the additions of the new characters were executed well and Whedon somehow managed once again to give every character their fair share of screen time. Also, James Spader did a marvelous job (get it?) as Ultron. He's truly one of the best. There were only really two disappointments I had with the movie at both happened in the very end. The first is that there was zero integration with the Agents of SHIELD television show. I thought that final scene where they're introducing the "new team" would've been the perfect opportunity to at least have a Colson cameo at the minimum. The other scene was when SHIELD came in at the end for support at Falcon was nowhere to be seen. Sorry but that would've been the perfect time to transition him with War Machine and the rest. Those disappointments aside, the only other elements that weren't perfect fall within the suspension of disbelief. Overall, another wonderful installment to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Expand

It's not that Age of Ultron was a bad film, in fact there were many parts of it that were very impressive, but what bothered people was how Age of Ultron wasn't geared toward general audiences. In the first film, even if you'd never seen a Marvel film, you could follow the story and enjoy it, but that's not the case with the sequel. Age of Ultron is aimed more at the comic-con crowd and parts of it were very confusing to those of us who aren't familiar with the comics that the film is based on. There are a lot of new characters and new technologies introduced in this film, without any kind of background information given, and as the film progresses, it did become confusing. The story begins with the Avengers as a separate faction from Shield, centering on Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and David Banner (Mark Ruffalo) working to develop a new type of artificial intelligence. The pair believe that if they can create this intelligence, everyone can retire and won't have to fight anymore. As always there is a problem though, as the A.I., known as Ultron, comes to life and fails to see the distinction between saving humanity and destroying the planet for the protection of humanity. The film then becomes a race for the clock as the mighty Avengers try to stop Ultron from destroying the planet. We all know that sequels aren't as good as the original, because the creators change things too much and Age of Ultron is no exception. The story isn't even close to as strong as the first film, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. The special effects are even better and the chemistry between the large cast is much more important then it had been previously. These things set the foundation for a better film, but the story fails to deliver. The Avengers is a monumental undertaking for cinema, with so many well known actors and characters trying to come together as one. The idea is ingenious and the technology behind the whole thing is nothing short of magic, but as far as films go, while I loved the first one, I could have done without Age of Ultron. Expand

There's a good, balanced mix of action, comedy, gravitas, sci-fi, and dialogue. Not only is it balanced, it's all GOOD. Plus, it plays out exactly like a comic book would. Every scene is a panel come to life, in living color. It's a huge summer blockbuster and nothing more. If you're watching this movie looking for anything else (like realism), you're a damned fool.

This review isn't the greatest, I know. I just had to add my 2 cents (10 points?) to this awesome movie. I wish I could stay in a theater all day and watch it over and over again. There are a lot of little details to watch out for. This movie should have been rated at least a 9. It's currently at 66, which doesn't make any sense to me.

Age of Ultron accomplishes all three and even manages go beyond. It has its emotional moments, tons of comedic moments, and all the action sequence you can handle I really loved the fact that they managed to utilize various locations around the world so we, one of them being my country of birth, South Korea.

Although I thought the movie was really well done, there were some flaws that I couldn't overlook. First of, Ultron seems way less threatening than in the trailers and in the comic books. Second, in the trailer it showed a glimpse of Marvel Civil War, but it never happens. Lastly, Falcon (Anthony Mackie) is really underplayed and barely gets any screen time, one has to wonder what was the point of having him in the movie in the first place.

Conclusion: Just like all the live action comic movies that I watched so far, it has its flaws but still manages to be an awesome film. Highly recommended to go see it

I would agree that this is not Marvel’s best movie (that title belongs to Captain America: The Winter Soldier). But I would agree that this movie is better than the first.

I love the first Avengers movie as we get to see Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye in action on one movie. But this movie tells a much more compelling plot and character development than the first.

After not appearing in any of the Phase 2 movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Clint Barton aka Hawkeye gets the character development treatment he deserves in this movie. He delivers some of the best funny one-liners in this movie as well as a touching montage in the second to the last act of the movie. Jeremy Renner did an awesome job portraying Hawkeye in this movie.

As for the romance between Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) and Bruce Banner (The Hulk), it felt a bit sudden and a surprise to many viewers including myself. However, the way this movie handled the romance was excellently used to humanize Natasha and Bruce to the viewers as they’re one of the most violent members of The Avengers and it’s nice to see their soft spots to each other.

I felt like Quicksliver and Scarlet Witch in this movie needed to be fleshed out a bit more. I felt a bit of unsatisfactory with the way they were introduced and I needed to know more about them. Despite that, I enjoyed Quicksliver and Scarlet Witch in this movie. Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson made their characters more likable and enjoyable to watch. I wasn’t a big fan of Taylor-Johnson’s acting but I thought he did a great job portraying Quicksliver in this movie.

My entire favorite part of this movie was The Vision. He is probably one of my newest favorite MCU superheroes ever. I love the way they introduced him in this movie and I can’t wait to see more of Vision!

As much as I am a bigger fan of Marvel than DC, a criticism about the way MCU handled most of their movie villains is a criticism I agree on because the villains in the recent MCU movies have been lackluster and one-dimensional. I am so glad to see that Ultron is not a one-dimensional villain. Despite him being a robot, he has a bit of humanity in him in terms of the way he talks and reacts. James Spader did an excellent portrayal of Ultron. Unfortunately, I felt like Ultron is more of a second-dimensional villain because the way he was introduced in this movie felt like it needed to be fleshed out more. The only third dimensional villains in MCU so far are Loki and Wilson Fisk from Daredevil.

Also, there were certain parts of the movie where you can feel it was cut for time and from what I heard, is that Joss Whedon had an original cut that is almost 3 hours in length. I would like to see an extended version hoping to see Quicksliver, Scarlet Witch and Ultron being fleshed out more as characters.

Despite the sequel becoming a bit more dark than its first, the “MCU humor” we know and love is still in this movie and it never fails to be funny and charming.

Lastly, Joss Whedon’s directing in this movie is excellent and he knows how to make an exciting, compelling and entertaining movie. I am sad that this is will his last movie for Marvel but I can’t wait to see what the Russo Brothers has in store for the next Aveneger movies.

Despite not being Marvel’s best effort, The Avengers: Age of Ultron is worth the hype for many superhero fans, comic book fans and the general audience alike.

This is just a fun film. All of the main cast members of the original film return for the sequel and the chemistry is as good as ever. The comedy is great I love the jokes that are scattered throughout the movie. Robert Downey Jr is of course amazing as Iron Man but he is just so funny in this movie and this is probably the funniest I've seen him. One of the downsides of the original film is there is not quite enough Hulk but there is lots of him in this film. The action sequences are amazing and there are so many stunts in the film that leave you in awe. Hawkeye gets more attention in this film as well and we learn more about his character which only makes the movie better. After this movie Hawkeye may not be considered the dud Avenger. Plus there are great classic performances from Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson. Now there are also some new additions which I think are all added well and all are good strong characters. Quicksilver was certainly an interesting character I liked the effects they used when he ran and I also enjoyed Scarlet Witch who has already been confirmed as a returning character in the future. Then we have Vision who is amazing but doesn't get as much screen time as I would like but will likely play a bigger part in the coming films. Finally we have the villain Ultron. Ultron was not what I expected but he was not a disappointment either. James Spader does an excellent job for the voice but when I watched the trailer it looked like Ultron was going to be a villain we could love that was dark and complex. He is more sarcastic and funny than anything. I liked Ultron but I did not love him. The only other problem I have with this movie is I thought it needed to be longer. Director Joss Whedon has said already that the film was originally 3 hours long but 40 minutes were cut. I hope that when the film is released on DVD and Blu Ray we will get a chance to see the directors cut and I may even enjoy it more. This movie could very well be my personal favorite Marvel film and so far it is my favorite movie this year. I recommend that you watch Age of Ultron in the theatre and not a home because it is a great experience. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i went to the 11:35pm showing last night of Avengers:AOU and i have to say that i was very pleased with how it turned out. From flying cars to a flying island the movie meet the qualifications it needed to be a summer block buster. It showed you the variety of struggles between the team and how they have more battles than in the field. One thing they should have done it showed more about the twins (Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch). But over all i gave this more an 8 out of 10 for the fact that it was really entertaining. Expand

This film, like the first had a great balance of action and humor, and the acting was fitting, except for Chris Hemsworth (it's not his fault, Thor isn't a very good character) and Elizabeth Olsen (totally her fault, she kept dropping her Russian accent unlike Aaron Taylor-Johnson). This film even made me like Hawkeye, who is a lame character overall. So all in all, this film impressed me based on my standards going in, and it is a great addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Expand

Every single time that I visit this website, I am blown away by the level of stupidity in the user reviews. I see words and phrases thrown around like 'mindless', 'a tasteless recreation of 9/11" "Pathetic CGI", and so on and so forth.

Let me first start out by saying, what were you expecting? A deep love story that is supposed to play with your heart strings and move you? Please. This is the Avengers. It's all in your face action from beginning to end with a solid story throughout the entire film.

Is it the best movie of all time? No. Is it an excellent film that you will get over 2 hours of entertainment from? Yes. Some of the idiots on here like to think that they are 'sophisticated movie critics' and give a good movie a 1 or a 2 just to go against the grain.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I originally watched this movie on the 25th of April, as the movie quite early in Australia. However I felt the need to comment and review this film.

Although the movie is quite lengthy (2h 21m), I didn't find myself busting to exit the theatre. But the movie just does not compare to the first Avengers at all. The first film was outstanding. With a significant amount of action that was intense and also brought the audience to the edge of their seats. They did this while still maintaining a good plot as well.

However I feel as if Avengers: Age of Ultron was not able to this. There was just too much going on at once. Halfway through the film, Thor decides to go have a swim in a pond/lake and experiences some flashbacks or something along those lines. Then there is the **** romance between Black Widow and the Hulk which was just cringeworthy. The scenes between those two characters made me want to shove a cone up my anal cavity. I also expected a much better fight between the Avengers and Ultron. I was just disappointed. In-fact, the whole movie was a disappointment to be 100% honest. I did expect better from a Marvel movie, especially the Avengers.

Although I have criticised this film heavily, I still think the movie was average. That is why I am giving it a 7/10. I gave Avengers: Age of Ultron this score as I believe that there were still some good parts in the movie, particularly the opening scene. Additionally, the plot wasn't terrible.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Avengers: Age of Ultron is directed by Joss Whedon and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Aaron Taylor Johnson, and James Spader. The plot involves the Avengers who team up again to defeat Ultron, an A.I. that Tony Stark created hoping to protect the planet. But of Course, his plan goes awry as Ultron becomes self aware and plans to "save the world" by putting the human race and the Avengers to extinction. What I loved about this movie is how they put a unique twist on the "take over the world" cliche we've seen over and over again by using an A.I. that thinks he is just doing the right thing. Now, the great things about this movie are a. the action, b. the villian, c. the character development and d. the characters themselves. However, the major problem of this movie is the pacing. There are many parts that feel to slow and many parts that feel too fast. However, I was never bored with this movie. Avengers: Age of Ultron is extremely fun and a solid addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 9/10 Expand

Avengers: Age of Ultron has three critical issues which makes it a mediocre, superhero summer blockbuster:
1) Way too many characters
2) Too much action
3) Not enough cohesive plot/story
Audiences, both movie-lovers and comic geeks, anticipated a well-written, well-directed, well-developed film that both established a great story and a great installment in the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe that interconnected the efforts of talented filmmakers to adapt the many heroes and their adventures from Marvel Comics.
Instead, what we got was a two and a half hour lukewarm superhero action movie that, in many aspects, did not live up to its predecessor. To be fair, the film did have several entertaining moments from its comedy to its thrill, yet given how the movie attempted to stuff itself full of one-dimensional, cameo-esque performances, and how the action scenes made you forget the already miniscule plot, it's no wonder how critics and fanboys disapprove the movie.
Director Joss Whedon intended to make the film an hour longer in order to fit more story with the mass of characters, and that, in retrospect, would have been a good solution to the film's several issues, but be honest, who would go see a superhero blockbuster as long as Lawrence of Arabia? Let's just prey that Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and 2 is large enough to fit characters from all three phases of the MCU.

When Age of Ultron was trying to shoot for the stars, they were also trying to break the $1.5 Billion box office record set by The Avengers back in 2012, but they were short by only $200 Million, but for Marvel, the critics and me, it was very successful.

Spader does a great job and crafts a devious Ultron. The character development of Black Widow is nonexistent and Hawkeye's development as well as the Banner/Romanov romance feels forced.

This is a spoiler free review.

First off, let me begin by saying that this sequel has exceeded my expectations by a great amount. I was blown away by the sheer amount of spectacle and work Wheadon has put into making this sequel.

Well, in terms of comparing it with the the first Avengers movie, it would be high impossible to impact pop culture in such a way the previous one did. Wheadon recognizes this, and hence the movie feels fresh because it takes a new path, a painful path for the heroes. It feels more personal, more on what it takes to be a hero and and how being a hero means having no place in society. It's definitely fresh, and avoids the mistake most sequels do by aiming to go bigger and more of everything.

Avengers 2 isn't a mass event like it's predecessor, but instead a much better movie that chooses to focus on character arcs and most importantly, the story.

Ultron played by James Spader is a great villain. He's just like a human trapped in robot's body. He behaves like a spurned son of Tony Stark, and hates his father more than anything. He also has twisted views on how to achieve peace, since he was "born" very recently, and so sees nothing wrong with genocide because he isn't human. Unlike other Villains of Marvel, he doesn't just make a joke now and then, and in only scene is he humorous, simply because he is naive.

In shot, he is a very, VERY unique villain that I've never seen before, and really hope that he returns.

However, the thing I admired more about the movie was how Wheadon manages to for around 16 MAIN characters in the movie, give convincing origins for Quicksilver, Scarlrt Witch and Ultron, enough to symphatize with them throughout the movie. He does it skillfully and artfully and it is integrated seamlessly into the movie.

Some of the so called critics have complained that the movie feels very fast and some scenes have to be deleted. However, I can honestly say that it is not so. Yes, there's a lot going on in the movie. But no, it isn't overstuffed. It simply means that you can enjoy this movie more and more every time you watch it. This is a movie that gets better with repeat viewings, because you absorb something new every time, whether it be something you missed or a fancy easter egg.

Overall, this is a fantastic addition to the MCU, and possibly the best superhero movie of all time.

While not a massive improvement from the first movie (since they're basically the same), Avengers: Age of Ultron is still an enjoyable superhero movie. And Ultron was a total badass.

I actually preferred this to the first one. The first was good but I felt they didn't do enough with the awesome bad guy they had. In this one, they have another awesome bad guy and they actually have him go around and do his OWN dirty work.I actually preferred this to the first one. The first was good but I felt they didn't do enough with the awesome bad guy they had. In this one, they have another awesome bad guy and they actually have him go around and do his OWN dirty work. Now, it was certainly overstuffed but I still liked it. There are more witty one-liners and quips to keep you entertained and though the climax is unbearably long, it's still enjoyable. Looking forward to Infinity War! Expand

An amazing summer blockbuster, full of high octane action sequences. But sorry to say the film belonged to Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff/Scarlett Witch. Her performance was as brilliant as the film's special effects. I'm eager to know moreAn amazing summer blockbuster, full of high octane action sequences.

I personally, enjoyed and actually loved the first one as much as this one. I just felt like Ultron wasn't really that big of a villain (Even though he practically killed many people and did terrible disasters) because of how hyped I was to see this Ultron guy, I felt like it was missing some things, to me, he felt like an extra soft not bad enough villain who tries to act tough but get his ass kicked multiple times. I will say this though, this movie is good but it's not great and it doesn't deliver much. Expand

Age of Ultron may start up flat, but it's still another good installment from the Avengers movie franchise which will end up split in two parts. It's so close from a score of 6 though.

And wow does he succeed; achieving this by grounding the character's and their stories, creating a deeper and more philosophical undertone, whilst still building an even bigger, explosive action spectacle. This combination of beautifully grounded character detail, philosophies and crazy action makes it a hell of a roller coaster. But does it just collapse under it's own weight? Some think so, but I disagree. Whilst it does jump around, you get enough time at each point to get really involved, and the story's writing even lends itself to the jumpy nature, each scene beautifully setting up the next. It flows. And that's largely down to Whedon.
So whilst it is certainly an ambitious roller coaster ride of pop-corn entertainment with great, explosive action, special effects and setup, Whedon manages to pull all that enjoyable stuff together in a way that the movie still feels personal; a roller coaster in terms of the way it makes you feel. I really cried, laughed, sat on the edge of my seat, got the goosebumps and had an absolute ball. It's got even more heart than the first. It's got soul.
Nothing like it brings together everything great about all the films and comics we love like this does with such detail. Well done Whedon, you will be sorely missed.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: In a film of this ambition, there are bound to be niggles (Thor's cave scene, anyone?) But the beauty of it is that these minute issues hardly take away from the overall experience at all.
VERDICT: The MCU's best film is a thrilling, beautiful roller coaster. Whedon steers it with perfection - and achieves a blockbuster with real soul.
