Probably the most glaring problem with the movie. Spader's voice is cool, but the baddie doesnt have any good sequences and his army is quiet pathetic. Him singing the whole pinnocio song was probably a disney exec idea and wrote in a memo to Whedon to include that song. This is a movie that tries to have an edge, but its really quiet tame compared to other better Marvel counterparts. Some scenes feel competely out of place. Want to spend 20 minutes on a farm learning about Hawkeye's family? No I didnt think so either. Unless maybe there is Audi dealership around somewhere.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like this movie better than the first!! I don't think that a lot of people will agree with that but i really enjoyed this one. Some very cool new characters to the addition of the already awesome avengers made this movie awesome. Voice acting of Ultron was great by James Spader and of vision by Paul Bettany. This movie had many more memorable scenes than the first and not as much humor which was a little bit overly accesive in the first Avengers. Great movie a definite summer blockbuster.… Expand

Basically Transformers with super heroes instead of robots, so guage your likely enjoyment of Avengers: Age of Ultron on that.

TheBasically Transformers with super heroes instead of robots, so guage your likely enjoyment of Avengers: Age of Ultron on that. The problem with the entire Avengers series is too many characters and almost zero character development. The writers are afraid to focus the plot on one or two of the heroes and develop deeper stories because they're bound to do fan service and equal screen time for all of them. Instead of a story the audience can sink their teeth into, Ultron starts out with a CG fight scene and never lets up. Just one fight scene after another, each one trying to top the last. It doesn't take long to get numb to all this and sort of tune it out. Of course the heroes save the day and of course they set it up for the next film. But the ride to get there is so bombastic and shallow I just waited for it to be over.… Expand

These things were good to a lot of people, including me, but I think that while there was a significant amount of character development, it lacked a lot of internal development and was mainly focused on development of the relationships of the characters.

It wasn't linear, which is a good thing in most cases, but it also seemed a bit random. Now they're in Europe! Now they're in the US! Now they're on a farm!

I did like the development of Jarvis, but other than that, not a spectacular movie. They drew it out for too long; I feel they could have said a lot of things in a shorter time frame. I definitely prefer the first one.… 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

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.… Expand

Its hard in an ensemble film to give every character some kind of story arch. So a few of them are a bit light. Also in a positive note. I really like the doomsday weapon. Usually they are overly complex and use a lot of science/magic. This one, the means of accomplishing it may be science/magic. But the weapon is simple and straightforward.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a bad movie at all, but probably my least favorite out of all of the marvel franchise. Simply put, way too rushed and way too many plot points, characters and topics covered. The movie never feels like it has a single moment to breathe. Because of this nothing is given the proper attention and time all of it both needs and deserves.

The twins' backstory and motivation? Crammed in super quick. Ultron? Introduced super quick, really should have had more screen time, and then is killed off at the end (I'm really getting sick of Marvel making its villains one-note and killing them off). Thor's side trip vision pool acid trip? Wow...that was very clunky and out of place (I know Whedon was forced to include it, but still, very clunky). Nick Fury just shows up the f**k out of nowhere halfway through. The gem stone stuff I know is important to the Infinity War coming soon, but it's just getting weird and boring and are acting like clunky plot devices/deus ex machinas. And the story's plot just seems to jump from point to point in clunky connection and bad (rushed) exposition (for example Jarvis's hacking of Ultron to prevent the nuclear codes and that scientist quickly introduced just to serve as a plot point later).

This thing really needed a good edit to slash off a couple subplots and characters and focus/spend more time on the really good ideas it had. The talent is all here, but it's just impossible for them to juggle as much as they're trying to here while maintaining the level of quality the smaller more focused single hero Marvel stories do.… Expand

One of the greatest aspectsUpdated Review:
Avengers: Age of Ultron is an equivalent counterpart to its predecessor. It’s a great time with a lot of epicness, laughs and of course the same awesome superheroes. But something is missing.

One of the greatest aspects with this new Marvel movie is that the theme is very different. The chemistry between the main characters is much darker, and the danger is very much from within as it is from Ultron. The best thing with this sequel is the humor; it’s so random and freaking fantastic at some places. I also had a great time with Ultron, he’s visually stunning and a superb character that also got humor! The CGI is incredible, but he did actually look a bit too “computerish”, like a character from a videogame. But Ultron, and Vision are actually both my favorite characters in this movie, especially Vision. He’s freaking awesome (even though he looks like another superhero) and he’s now one of my favorite characters in the MCU. The plot of this film is in a way a bit simpler than in the previous movie, but there are a lot more things going on at the same time. Other great aspects are: a great and action-packed opening scene, much returning and new characters from previous movies, deep messages and conversations, incredible special effects and of course the same classic humor.

But sadly, there are a lot of flaws. The first thing is that they shouldn’t have shown as much as they did in the trailers. Yes it totally made me go watch the movie, but there wasn’t as many surprises as I wanted to see. The trailers did ruin the movie a bit. The 3D didn’t really add anything; there weren’t that many 3D-effects. I also did expect a fantastic soundtrack, but it wasn’t the same as in the first film. The film is also predictable, especially in the third act. It should at least have been one massive plot twist; it would have made the ending much greater even though I totally loved it. The action sequences are of course fantastic, but some of them are all the same and nothing new was contributed, it’s too much focus on CGI and SPX rather on the plot. And it’s awesome to see new and returning characters from previous MCU movies, but it actually became too many, so many of the major characters didn’t get as much focus as I wanted to see.

But I still had a great time with this movie. It’s better than the first but there’s something missing, something important. They had all these incredible characters and actors, but they didn’t use them fully. The movie is fantastic, but it could have been even better. After watching it a second time have all the negative aspects become greater. From a longer perspective do I actually think that the first Avengers movie winns. I'm therefor lowering my rating from 8.8 to 8.6. But instead of reading this long and boring review do I really recommend that you go and watch it, because it’s freaking awesome and it did live up to my expectations.

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.… Expand

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.

-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.… Expand

The first one had its issues, but at least it was novel; we hadn't seen anything like it. Age of Ultron throws a lot of stuff at you, but it all feels regurgitated from the first one, and overly commercialized, with product placements galore. Joss Whedon's gone corporate.

There are so many characters that the few attempts at development aren't successful. The camp of it, the fake-looking CGI and the very comic book-y costumes, just doesn't play that well any more. And guess what, there are some more MacGuffins coming!

The titular villain never really leaves a mark, simply for screen time issues. Not that James Spader isn't entertaining, but if you want a real exploration of AI, check out Ex Machina. This movie tries to leverage the idea, but there isn't enough substance there. There are also a lot of people doing fake Russian accents at this point, which is not good.

On the positive side, every now and then there's a laugh line, and the setup for a civil war between the superheroes suggests that maybe future movies will have some more intrigue. Who are you rooting for? This one's mostly just CGI battles. It feels like filler. For a movie that cost almost $300 million, that isn't good enough.

Also, one female character is briefly captured and spends approximately five minutes of screen time not kicking ass, and a female and male character talk equally about how they want to have children and can't, so therefore this movie is a misogynistic rant from noted misogynist Joss Whedon, and if you watch it Marvel Studios will take away women's right to vote and institute mandatory sexual slavery of all women at every Marvel-watching household in the world. Or not.
(No, seriously, some people are attacking this movie because of these minor inoffensive plot points. Look it up.)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I suppose I should start this with saying that the Avengers movies never clicked with me. It's not that I thought they were bad, I just never saw what made them so huge to others. So I don't think I would have been a fan anyway, but considering previous Marvel movies this one fell short in many ways. The biggest problem is that the movie is all action, little story or character development.

Maybe this would have been better as a 3+ hour monster, with more time, more focus on the characters their decisions would have felt more real. There are two things that bugged me the most:

1) Hulk and Black Widow romance. It just comes completely out of nowhere. If it would have ended with Black Widow and Hulk running away at the end then the plot line would have had some weight, but as it is I think it will all be forgotten in the next movies and made pointless.

2) The Twins turn good moment. I can understand them turning against Ultron. But they spent half of their lives wanting to kill Tony Stark. They tried to tear the Avengers apart, all the damage Hulk did could really be laid at Scarlet Witch's feet. After all that they just easily accept her?

With more character time all these problems could have been solved (perhaps) but as it is the movie feels rushed.

With that said I could still see many people giving it a higher score as it does still have that Marvel humor and plenty of cool scenes to enjoy. For me the negatives drag it down.… Expand

The mediocre and negative reviews this film recieves are from reviewers who I think are yet to get hip to the "shared universe" storytelling style that comic books have been using for over 100 years. The "movie" is dead. We are in the post modern era of film. Movies now ASSUME that you have seen the previous versions, are familiar with the characters and their relationships, and will see it's brother and sister films. The film doesn't need to explain everything and everybody. It also assumes you will see it multiple times. It does't care if you can't keep up. As a comic fan, I find this thrilling. There is no need for the cliche notes that films have struck for years just because they feel they "need" to.… Expand

HE IS ALSO SUPPOSEDLY ONE OF THE STRONGEST THINGS OUT THERE, AND HE'S KIND OF IMMORTAL. THAT'S SUPERMAN. THEN, TO CONFIRM MY SUSPICIONS, HE HAS FRIGGIN' LASER VISION. Ignoring copyright issues, I'm very, very confused by what happened. It's showing one city being destroyed, yet it says billions are dying. There are other problems than confusion, but before I end with confusion, WHAT IS ULTRON? 2 of the villains turn to the heroes, which is, in my opinion, a terrible idea, and one of them dies in the stupidest way. I don't remember his name, but at least the movie actually said it, but I call him Marvel Flash. Because he's kind of the same thing, but not as close as Marvel Superman, fortunately. Either way, he runs in the way of bullets heading for a little boy and... I think it was Hawkeye. PROBLEM, he could easily push them out of the way with his speed! Then, the ending sucked. The Avengers were supposed to separate, and they really should've, but instead ALL of the good Avengers are out (Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America (I think))! They make this crappy ending to make another movie. It was still a 6 after all of this crap, including an unnecessary and weird romance between Black Widow and Hulk, taking over 2 hours, because the premise was amazing. It started off as probably one of the best movies ever, but then it completely collapsed. I'm disappointed. I didn't expect it to be as good as the first, but at the very least, decent.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you just want to see super hero's punch robots and occasionally make a funny remark or learn about Hawkeye's wife and kids, then this is the movie for you. The story was lacking and filled with plot holes. The flashbacks seemed out of place and at one point Thor randomly goes off on his own to explore a magic cave and go for a swim. The Avenger's are never in any real danger and the scenes of them evacuating the city are boring. Does anyone really care that Hawkeye has a family? All of that being said, the action scenes were great, I think the fight between Iron Man and the Hulk was the highlight of the movie. The first Avengers was superior.… 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.… 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.… Expand

What’s missing: any shocks, tension or surprises (including nothing at the very end of the credits, although there is one quickie after the closing title sequence). Even at 2:20, it never lags, but there's nothing spectacular or innovative in this sequel. Still, writer/director Joss Whedon has jammed it full of entertaining, popcorn fun.… Expand

Let's start with the good points. Amazing action scenes, like, seriously some of the best in any comic book movie to date, the story was pretty good but i was dissapointed the end goal was a typical 'destroy the world' plot. The characters we really good, Hawkeye and Bruce Banner became more interesting, Quicksilver was ok, I didn't like how they killed him off, scarlet witch was ok as well and Vision was amazing, absolutely loved him. The Hulk VS Ironman (Hulkbuster) scene was the best part of the movie, soooo good. But seriously, WHY and HOW did Ironman win?!?!?

Now for the bad parts. Way, way, way too many cheesy jokes. C'mon Marvel can you just lay off the jokes for at least one movie? While it was one of the more darker MCU movies, it still had the cheesiness to it. Now for Ultron, i wanted to like him but i just couldn't he was way too comedic and was continuously cracking cheesy jokes, it took away from how menacing he is supposed to be, but i can say that we was cool showing off his powers at times. Another minus is that the movie did feel a little clustered, i would've liked to see more of the Maximoff twins. Also the post/mid credit scene was disappointing, nothing new that we haven't seen yet.

A couple other touches i liked were Thor's vision about the infinity gems, it's nice we got to see some set up for Infinity war, i also loved the fact that they went to Wakanda, nice little Black Panther reference.
All in all i thoroughly enjoyed this film, especially for a comic book fan like myself. 8/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Avengers : Age of Ultron is a movie which the trailer wants us to watch the movie because it's awesome. However, the movie is disappointing because Ultron is evil because he is evil (he has no real motivations to be cruel) and he is boring. I felt like the movie was too long, because of the love story between Hulk and Black Widow, of the dialogues sometimes (some jokes weren't funny, is it because I saw the movie in French instead of English ?). They put characters we didn't know they exist on the movie, I expected a well-known superhero like Spider-man or Superman for example.
The story is disappointing, but the graphics are beautiful.… Expand

I really enjoyed this movie! Not as amazing as the first Avengers film, but it did come close. There were a few things that really bugged me that prevented this movie from being a 10.

Warning: SPOILERS I didn’t like how they threw usI really enjoyed this movie! Not as amazing as the first Avengers film, but it did come close. There were a few things that really bugged me that prevented this movie from being a 10.

Warning: SPOILERS

I didn’t like how they threw us into a huge action sequence. We didn’t even know who they were fighting until several minutes into the scene. That’s a terrible setup. Very over the top. However, after that sequence with the Hydra base, everything became very very good! I loved Joss Whedon's dialogue scenes between the many characters. I especially loved the part when Thor got worried that Captain America would lift his hammer… then sighed with relief and smiled trying to hide his fear. I also loved the story of how Tony Stark created Ultron to help them defend Earth, which totally backfired. It made total sense given the events in the past films.

Another thing that bugged me was how Black Widow all of a sudden was in love with Bruce Banner. Where the heck did that come from? She had her moments with Hawkeye in the first Avengers, and then with Captain America in the Winter Soldier film… but now she loves the Hulk? I guess they can’t figure out a real story for the Hulk, so this gives him something to do. Also, I didn’t like how the bad guys made the Hulk go crazy again, so the Avengers had to subdue him again. Total copout as it’s identical to what happened in the first movie. Although, that Iron Man vs. Hulk fight was epic!

I also didn’t like how this film really didn’t push any of the Thanos storyline forward. It was more of a story about how the Avengers almost doomed themselves, which is a good story in itself, but not for continuing the overall series. So when Thanos shows up in the credits and says, “Looks like I have to take care of things myself.” That implies that Ultron not being able to destroy Earth was of his doing… which made no sense. Anyways, this totally explains why the Infinity War story is going to be broken into two films… because Thanos really hasn’t been hands on at all so far.

I think they did an awesome job with balancing the characters in this movie, while still giving Hawkeye a big piece in the film. I LOVED THAT! I also think they did a great job introducing a ton of new characters (Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Vision), even if their abilities are supernatural, they did a great job without making their abilities feel too cartoony. I was always afraid that when they got to these more mystical characters, that it would ruin a universe that’s been mostly grounded on reality. When Iron Man, Thor and Vision were blasting Ultron all at once… Vision felt like he fit right in. Dope!… Expand

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… Expand

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. 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.… 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

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.… Expand

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,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.… Expand

I know the movie was a action movie, but it has to be one of the shallowest marvel movies I have seen in a long time, the First Hulk movie, may have been a good comparison. the heavy was pretty uninspiring the script was down right corny to me. The movie, just never pulled me in, thru the action or the acting. Not to mention this movie was borderline rated G, definitely made for people under the age of 10 years old I am afraid. This movie was made more for children and less for adults, borderline Disney movie. Nothing close to the last X-men, movie etc. Very carebearish movie.

good to take the kids to, but if your an adult and even a fan of the Avengers, comics, don't have great expectation, lower your standards and it will be a nice waste of time.
Since my kids will be adults by the time the next Avengers, comes out this will be my last avengers movie I goto the theater to see.… Expand

"Age Of Ultron" the Marvel movie everyone...well almost everyone as been waiting for, It released May 1st and it was packed full of over the top action and super heroes. All the heroes and stars from the previous movies have returned to"Age Of Ultron" the Marvel movie everyone...well almost everyone as been waiting for, It released May 1st and it was packed full of over the top action and super heroes. All the heroes and stars from the previous movies have returned to reprise their rolls and Josh Whedon is in the directors chair. All that mixes fantastically together in a Comedic Action Flick that most fans of the series will adore. Age of Ultron is much, Much more comedic then previous Marvel films, Everyone gets plenty of chessy one liners and there chance to crack a joke or four(especially Tony Stark). It's not a bad thing, But it can take away from the dramatic feel in some scenes or feel a little forced. The story is based around "Ultron" a AI Tony made to help save the world but didn't quite do what Tony wanted and makes life much more difficult for "The Avengers". The premiums of Ultron and his plans is very dark and grim but between the jokes and so many different sub plots happening it takes away from the real threat Ultron is.

All the actors did a stellar job in their rolls and you can tell they get along great with fellow cast mates. Nothing feels off tone or extremely out of place and gives the acting a bit more of a natural feel even Ultron a robot feels human like.James Spader did a phenomenal job voice acting Ultron , some lines sent shivers down my spine.

All that put together "Age Of Ultron" is a extremely entertaining action movie but it feels like the story development took a bit of a backseat and Comedy and Explosions became more of a focus. I hope Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Or Batman Vs Superman will let marvel see what a slightly more dark and serious super hero movie should look like and push them in that direction with the last Avengers movies.… Expand

Being the sequel to the biggest superhero movie of all time is not an easy thing to be. Meeting the expectations and demands of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, of dedicated fans, and the general movie-going public is no easy task.

In anBeing the sequel to the biggest superhero movie of all time is not an easy thing to be. Meeting the expectations and demands of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, of dedicated fans, and the general movie-going public is no easy task.

In an ambitious effort to top the previous Avengers movie, Joss Whedon packed around 5 different big-budget action sequences in Age of Ultron. The blockbuster action felt epic in the trailers and promos, but somehow lackluster in the actual movie (probably because we are bombarded with too much of it). Watching this superhero extravaganza, I felt that the filming style was gimmicky (camera turning around 360 to show way too many things going on at once).

Even with its 2 and a half hour run time, AoU has a rushed pace, and not enough time is given to the characters and audience to dwell on what is going on. There’s so much ground to cover in this sequel that the movie struggles to find room. The movie glosses over the Scarlet Witch-induced hallucinations that the Avengers suffer, the “Infinity Well” (where Thor learns of setup for Phase 3 and the Infinity War), and the fact that SHIElD is back, but with no mention of the rival factions within it (shown on Agents Of SHIELD).

Everything and nothing is at stake in AoU. After all, it’s obvious going into the theater that only one or two of our heroes will die--because most of the Avengers have more movies that they’re contracted to star in. Plus, Disney benefits far too much because of the MCU to kill off a money-making character. Knowing this, what is the point of making movies where the entire planet is in danger, yet not a single civilian gets killed on-screen and almost none of the Avengers are ever in real jeopardy? The comedic timing of the film is also off, as too many jokes and quips are made at inappropriate times, and this contributes to a lack of tension in the movie.

None of the acting is noteworthy or remarkable, but the conflict of ideologies between Tony and Cap was interesting to me and a natural progression of their characters (also setting up the two for Captain America 3: Civil War). I appreciated the camaraderie that the Avengers had in the Avengers Tower party scene, as it humanizes Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. I personally didn’t like the romantic relationship between Bruce and Natasha--none of the previous films, including this one, set them up as a couple--and yet they’re talking about abandoning the team and running away together after defeating Ultron?

Bruce’s inner demons are starting to feel tedious to watch, especially in the way it was handled. *SPOILER ALERT* He very unceremoniously leaves the team in a quinjet. And Natasha has now flirted (or at least had moments of romantic playfulness) with Tony, Cap, Hawkeye, and the Hulk. That seems kind of insulting to her character. (However, I do like that AoU delved into Black Widow’s dark past.) Hawkeye gets some love, but I still don’t think it was enough.

*SPOILER ALERT* Of all the characters to kill off, the end of a recently introduced and supporting character is somewhat disappointing--especially how it was handled. We barely got time to be introduced to Quicksilver, but he is killed anyway. His final words are “Bet you didn’t see that coming”, but many had already predicted his death. (Was Quicksilver killed simply for shock effect, or because his character was too weak to compete against the one from X: Men DOFP?) The Vision, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch are all undeveloped (Scarlet Witch feels way too much like Carrie; from the horror movie).

Ultron is “not as scary as the Winter Soldier, or as interesting and entertaining as Loki, or as ominous as hyper-intelligent Ava from Ex Machina.” He doesn’t do anything actually useful with all of the power he supposedly has (no hacking, no using nukes?). AoU’s Ultron is a far cry from the comics, where he’s apparently a “hyper-intelligent and adaptable being”. The father son relationship between Stark and Ultron that could have been, isn’t. “We aren’t given any time for him and Stark to form a relationship that could later turn to hatred. There is never that process that allows us to accept Ultron first as Stark’s ‘child’ and then as his antagonist.” Considering the love-hate relationship between Hank Pym and Ultron is a key part of his character in the comics (which I haven’t read but know enough about), AoU is a letdown in that regard. (And the way he is defeated is pretty lame.)
Age of Ultron could've have definitely been a much better movie. Instead of leaving people wanting more, Joss Whedon has left most wanting less. The action gets too thick and makes the movie feel bloated; too many one-liners are said at impromptu times. Cap and Iron Man are the most interesting characters, but the rest fall flat. Whedon "simply has too many balls to keep in the air for one movie—even a two-and-a-half-hour one.” In interviews, Whedon has said that he feels burned out by his responsibilities in the MCU. Him leaving the property is probably the best for all of us.… Expand

- 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.… Expand

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.

I have to say that i really love the first Avenger movie because not only it's fun but it's also fill with amazing characters.

With that said though Avengers 2 is not like that , actually it's worse than the first Avengers.

Why ? because almost everything in this sequel is just exactly the same , the plot , the conflict or the characters , yes it's still fun popcorn movie to watch with great action scene BUT right now we are in the "Avengers 2" we should have more than just great action scene or mediocre characters or super cliché conflict.

and The worst part of the movie itself is it Villain "Ultron" he is just terrible trying so hard to be this super bad guy but not only he's super cliché but the movie just hype him to be this bad-ass character too much when what we saw now is that he's just another bad guy that just complain about everything and doing nothing , he could possibly be okay in stand-alone movie like Iron Man 4 but not in the Avengers , This is not even count the fact that Ultron in comic is actually really really powerful character while in the movie he fells boring and lackluster.

Overall Avengers: Age of Ultron fells mediocre at best everything is just exactly the same and sometimes even worse than the first Avengers or even Captain American: Winter Soldier a lot of thing fells like Marvel just keeping good stuff out of us too much for this "Infinity War" movies than will hit us in 2018 that is like 3 years from now and if this happen again and again i will probably be bored before this Infinity War movie happen.… Expand

We see Hawkeye firing arrows from the back of Jeep while Black Widow drives; Captain America motorbiking through the forest while Ironman flies; Thor swinging his hammer while the Hulk swings his fists; all this action finally culminating in beautifully shot moment when all the Avengers simultaneously exit their respective battles and attack as one - a metaphor for harmony that this group has built amongst themselves since the first film.

However, it will not last. We quickly learn that the spectre of another alien invasion has been plaguing Tony Stark; he believes humanity will be eradicated if there is to be another hostile extraterrestrial incursion. These events are ultimately what lead to his creation Ultron - a global defence program gone horribly wrong. Within moment's of being created, Ultron decides that the best way of keeping the planet safe is by destroying all human life.

This is where the movie's quality begins to decline. Ultron never truly impresses, as his inability to kill off or critically injure any of the six main Avengers diminishes his credibility as a formidable villain - as the writers would have us believe. Black Widow even going the entire film without so much as a scar on her face. Moreover, it reduces the action sequences into a tedium of repetitive and pointless, computer generated violence, used only to satisfy the requirements of the annual summer blockbuster. This is particularly pronounced during a scene in the movie whereby Ultron has captured Black Widow (Scarlet Johannsson) a.k.a Natasha Romanoff. Rather than killing her off - as would be expected of a being whose self-declared purpose is to eradicate humanity (Avengers included) - instead he details to her, with the glibness that has become the central motif of this film, his evil plan to defeat the Avengers and end humanity - can it get any more cliched?

Between the Hulk smashing up Johannesburg and Captain America battling on runaway trains, the movie makes feeble attempts to develop its characters. We learn that Hawkeye is family man by day and one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes by night. Black Widow is now attracted to Bruce Banner in a relationship that feels forced and completely out of place. Oh, and Captain America has reverted to his pre-Winter Soldier self. Never do we get the impression that there's more to these characters than what we've witnessed in the past dozen or so films. How did Romanoff's past influence who she is today? How is Cap dealing with the events of The Winter Soldier? Is there much more to Stark than quippy one-liners and superficial charm? Banner at least tries to convey to us his inner war with the Hulk but Thor however, disappears for almost half the movie, using the time (sort of) to set the stage for 2017's Thor:Ragnarok.

Cast your mind back to 2012's The Avengers. What made that film such a success was getting to see all these explosive personalities clash for the first time on the big screen. At this point in the MCU, we're all familiar with the personality traits of these characters on the surface, and viewers -
having slogged through a dozen or so films of seeing them wreak havoc on a city-wide scale - will be asking for more out of these characters rather than another exhibition of their talents for destruction. However, to the film's peril, Whedon has preferred to avoid the deeper and darker sides of these characters - that battling a genocidal A.I would necessarily reveal - and instead opts to showcase their skill at delivering quippy one-liners and half-hearted philosophical musings.

Ultimately, the forced, disjointed nature of the film, along with the half-hearted involvement of all the characters (heroes and villains alike) are what make this movie feel like an irrelevant, sub-standard film.

Tl;dr: Movie is a rehash of what we've already seen from the MCU. It would have received a higher rating if wasn't as underdeveloped story-wise and character-wise. Relatively uninvolved characters; overly-witty dialogue; massive CG battles. If you don't mind pizza for dinner two nights in a row, then you'll likely love this film.… Expand

The narrative is something to behold. They had the ability to make it so interesting but they chose to force the plot instead of building it up as a result of the previous films. Where in the Avengers you could tell that it was the culmination of the phase 1 Marvel films, this film tries and fails to set itself up because there is no progression from the Phase 2 films. Everything in this film felt rushed. There is absolutely no reason for Ultron to be in the film, he exists purely as a generic villain for the team to fight. I feel as if they wasted the potential for the Ultron story line. I won't go into details because I don't want to spoil anything but all I can say was that the pacing and story did not suspend my belief enough to think that the events of the film could actually happen.

The action is amazing as always and the effects are spot on but compared to the first movie or ANY movie from the 2nd phase (even Thor 2), this movie just doesn't live up to the name. It just seems rushed to be honest and that the only reason for this film to exist is to serve as a bridge to phase 3.This is a 2nd film in a series so I hope that the 3rd is WAY better.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bland story, numerous plot holes, and by-the-book action scenes make this film one of the least compelling or interesting in the franchise. The only fun part about this film is the action scenes but even the final action scene is boring because we saw a similar fight scene in the original Avengers film. The story was horribly rushed with new characters being introduced far too often, often with little to no explanation. The main villain, Ultron, is possibly the lamest antagonist I have ever seen, his constant singing of Pinocchio's I've Got No Strings only makes me feel like I'm watching a child friendly A Nightmare on Elm Street. The only thing that kept me going were two things; the intense and violent action scenes, and the investment into this series that began back in 2008. This is a fun film to watch, but don't expect it too surpass any other Avengers film, The Incredible Hulk was funner to watch.… Expand

The use of a large block of rock was interesting though unlikely to cause the damage they were talking about to destroy the world.

Only this time the action has been cranked upAge of Ultron is pure, bombastic superhero fun. If you are expecting the next big evolution in Marvel's superhero movies you may be left disappointed. Whedon brings us simply more of the Avengers. Only this time the action has been cranked up significantly. It really doesn't do much to build up or change it's world. It mainly serves as another entry meant to entertain while hinting at even bigger things to come.

This isn't entirely a bad thing. The results are very fun. Plenty of references to and inclusions of material from the comics that built this universe are in place to make Marvel fans happy. While the almost non-stop action can get exhausting at times it is no less entertaining. Probably though where the movie stumbles the most is that there isn't any real tension.

Ultron is a compelling villain and played incredibly well by James Spader. He has an incredible personality that ultimately isn't used well enough to make him stand out. Despite all of his witty lines and incredible potential his role isn't anything more than what we've already come to see from other Marvel movie villains. His generic destroy humanity goal basically just serves as a way to give the Avengers a lot of cannon fodder to bash through. I enjoyed seeing Ultron onscreen and he does have a few cool moments that elevate him above generic Marvel movie villain, but his motives and methods are basically the same. It's not hard to see that there's so much more that could have been done with him.

The majority of the story itself is the generic heroes have to save the day stuff we got with the last Avengers, but there are moments where it all tries to do something a little more. It does a lot to build up tension between the heroes (an obvious setup for Civil War). Their motives are tested and reasoning questioned. Although it all works out in the end and they team up to beat the villain once again it's not hard to see how some of these wounds of mistrust won't heal all the way and lead to some conflict down the road.

They pack a lot into this movie. A significant portion of which builds up the future of the MCU. Some more minor additions like the inclusions of new superheroes and looks into some the more minor characters (Hawkeye) lives are appreciated and fun. Most of this little stuff pays off in big ways, especially in the humor department. These characters have formed real relationships. Their friendships often lead to some playful teasing that's hilarious. Humor extends to other aspects of the film as well. The humor is appreciated even among all of the chaos.

One thing that doesn't really work out is the relationship between Banner and Black Widow. Outside of Ruffalo's charming awkwardness and goofiness around Natasha the relationship doesn't actually feel like a real thing. The characters interact, but you never pick up any sort of romantic vibe. I can say that it doesn't feel forced, but that's because it doesn't feel like it actually exists.

As always with these superhero movies the fiction is stretched due to a reliance on elements and possibilities that don't exist in the real world. Age of Ultron does a great job at keeping these things understandable. At least until talk of infinity stones pops up and they create android life. I'm still not really sure what happened with that.

Age of Ultron is a superhero extravaganza. It's roughly two-and-a-half hour running time is packed full of action and excitement. It might not hit all of the right notes with it's story or do anything particularly new, but it doesn't change the fact that it's still a blast. If you enjoy Marvel movies you'll enjoy this. It brings your favorite, incredibly well cast superheroes back to thing big screen in order to do some crazy cool stuff.

I give "Avengers: Age of Ultron" an 8.5/10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After watching this film, I’m glad Joss Whedon isn’t taking over Avengers: Infinity War, since there are several things I hated about it:
1. I didn’t find Ultron very menacing or compelling since he acted like a buffoon Disney villain. Just like Joker in The Dark Knight, his pretentious pseudo-philosophical babble tried too hard to sound important, but it really wasn’t. Not to mention his plan was pretty silly (it never seemed to me like his “meteor” could exterminate mankind).
2. Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson were miscast, they didn’t bring much charisma or depth to the table, their characters' motivations made no sense, and their awful Eastern European accents that came and went were quite distracting.
3. Blatantly recycling plot elements from the first movie, namely, Hulk going rogue against the team and the villain controlling the mind of a scientist for his own gain.
4. One of the reasons the first movie worked so well is because it kept things relatively simple, whereas AOU’s script has too stuff much going on. Because of that, it felt incoherent and disjointed at times. It almost gives The Amazing Spider-Man 2 a run for its money.
5. Overall, I thought the scenes in Hawkeye's house were boring and didn’t really go anywhere (why does Hawkeye’s wife act like she knows the Avengers perfectly after a few hours of meeting them?).
6. The only reason the Hulkbuster armor scene exists is to have another toy to sell.
7. Why is S.H.I.E.L.D. suddenly active again? Did Joss Whedon not care about the events in Captain America: The Winter Soldier?
8. Most notably, the contrived and cringe-inducing attempt at a romance between Black Widow and Bruce Banner. Not only does it come out of nowhere, it’s entirely out of character for both Natasha and Banner, especially the former. Black Widow was established as someone who tries to keep her distance emotionally speaking so things can stay professional in the previous films. It seems Joss Whedon forgot about the moment when she said “love is for kids” in the first movie. As for Banner, well, I guess we’re supposed to pretend Betty Ross never existed…
The only positive aspects I found were Vision and the long shot at the beginning. Just like the Iron Man sequels, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World, it's one of those films that was made to sell merchandise rather than telling a good story. Joss Whedon was going though the motions and seemed to think "who cares about character development and making sense? the movie is still going to make millions!" Such a massive disappointment, especially after the wonderful Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Heck, even Guardians of the Galaxy was better.… 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.… Expand

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.… Expand

Was it good? Absolutely. Was it great? If you hadn't seen the first one - maybe. Otherwise it was largely interchangeable: Aliens swapped out for robots, Loki swapped out for Ultron, humanity threatened, heroes fight each other, etc.

Now they added a couple new characters, but left at least one very key character out. The "Marvel Universe" includes the fairly popular Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., led by Agent Coulson. Yet Phil is a no-show for Ultron. He played a key role in the first Avengers and is the lead character in Agents, yet there is not even a whisper about him in this latest outing.

Sorry, but he was perhaps the most relatable character in the first movie and adding a family background to superheroes doesn't change that. Why have a Universe that can't integrate even the most simple, yet germane characters? Moreover, why have this major movie/Universe tie with a struggling TV series (that still carries the Marvel brand) and then fail to actually include even a frayed thread of that tie? It almost seems they are writing off the TV series (and a pretty big character) on purpose. Not good for the 4-7 million viewers that have stuck with that series through thick and thin.

Bottom line: The first Avengers was great, the second largely a rewashed version of the first. We want our Universe to EXPAND, not simply have a dozen different storylines that take place at the same time on the same planet - yet never actually meet. Ultron is a good movie, but give me multiple episodes with Daredevil or even Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. any day. I want a relationship - not another one-night stand with the same person wearing a different wig.… Expand
