Mother always said if you don’t have something nice about someone/something then don’t say anything. I didn’t always listen to mother and in this case I have some things to say.

Our choice of movie going this Friday was “Avengers”,Mother always said if you don’t have something nice about someone/something then don’t say anything. I didn’t always listen to mother and in this case I have some things to say.

Our choice of movie going this Friday was “Avengers”, “Avengers” or “Avengers” and if I don’t go to a movie on Friday the world may shut down so I decided to go see “Avengers: Age of Ultron” with an open mind and though I meant well it didn’t turn out that way. When you watch a movie that is 2 hours and twenty-two minutes long with 2 hours of special effects and twenty minutes of a love story unless the reason you came was for the former then it was a waste of your time. The first time you see a special effect it can deliver but after the same effect is shown for the tenth time it is loud and boring as most of the effects and computer work is in this film. A perfect example is watching the first time Elizabeth Olsen, as Scarlet Witch, throws a psychic fireball until she throws so many you just want the next scene to come.

With the movie directed and written by Joss Whedon the only relief you get from noise is when he concentrates on a romance between Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk and Scarlet Johansson as the Black Widow or when he is showing the home life of Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner and his wife played by Linda Cardellini. Hopefully Chris Evans who plays Captain America, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver, Olsen’s twin, will follow the leads of Johnansson, Ruffalo and Iron Man, Robert Downey, Jr., and use their avenger money to make and/or direct independent films.

People who go to see “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and will make it a record breaker, are fans of Marvel comics, comic books, loud special effects with accompanying loud music, shattering glass mindless chases and fights.

I did give the movie a chance but if next time there is a choice of another Avenger’s sequel or one of the many similar looking previews of summer ‘blockbusters’ or not going to a movie on a Friday then I will pick the last choice.… Expand

The Good: Obviously the action scenes are fantastic, which is to be expected. But this time around, the choreography of some of the fight scenes and the way that the large battles were filmed was mind blowing. The characterization was very well done despite what I thought would be an unwieldy cast. Sure, the overwhelming majority of the characters in the film were fleshed out in the first film or in other films, but it was still impressive that Whedon found a way for everyone to shine and have their moments. On top of that, he juggled plenty of cameos from the Marvel Cinematic Universe with ease. The cast just seems to genuinely like eachother and enjoy working together and it shows. The camaraderie is apparent, even in the more tense and confrontational scenes. New characters Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), and Vision (Paul Bettany) fit right in without missing a beat as if they were wholeheartedly welcomed into the super hero fraternity. On the villainous side, James Spader lends his distinctive voice to Ultron, an A.I. bent on exterminating mankind. I was initially leery of him being cast in this role, but any reservations that I had were remedied the very first moment he spoke. Lastly, there are plenty of Easter Eggs and references that hardcore fans will enjoy. A couple of battles in particular, which showcase everyone fighting together, are especially geekgasm-worthy. A triumphant sequel that surpasses the original, which I thought was impossible.

The Bad: Unfortunately, one thing that will bring the film down is that it doesn't stand on it's own. It's tied heavily not only to it's predecessor, but also into the myriad of other films that comprise a shared universe. If you haven't seen those films, you won't get everything. A few CGI scenes were not as good as they should have been, which was a little surprising. Ultron's final gambit was a slight letdown. I was expecting more with all the build up.… Expand

La sensación que sentí fue de,Primero de todo, me gustó la película, es decir, es entretenida, muy bien filmada, pasas el rato bien , guiños e Easter Eggs a cholón para los fans... Como todas las marveladas de rigor, pero no me entusiasmó. La sensación que sentí fue de, "otra vez lo mismo, pero mas alargado".

La película, es mas larga que la anterior, (me refiero a Vengadores), lo cual podríamos pensar que esta vez meterían algo nuevo, para que el público vea una película entretenida y además con algo destacable, pues no, Whedon o Marvel Studios, pensaron que es mejor ir a lo seguro y hacer lo mismo otra vez, pero en 2 horas y 40 minutos". Que la gente salió extasiada con la batalla final de la 1, pues metemos el triple de peleas de ese tipo,que Hulk salga liándola parda, pues tomad dos tazas, que gustó las puyas graciosas entre los Vengadores, pues metemos mas, que les moló el rollo OJCURO y REALIZTA, del Capi 2, pues la hacemos OJCURA (sólo un poco) no vayamos a hacer Batman V Superman....OH WAIT!. En otras palabras, la película parece en ciertos momentos los resultados de un satisfactorio estudio de mercado.

Otra cosa que sentí fue una sensación que tuve durante la película, era que parecía que estaba viendo un episodio de una serie de televisión, y me parecía que me he perdido cosas o capítulos, sobretodo al principio de la película, que sientes desorientación, en sentido de...¿me he perdido algo de por medio? ¿por que ha sucedido esto?.

Y es una pena, porque podían haber hecho algo nuevo, que sorprendieran como hizo la primera película, una lastima solamente yendo a lo fácil y 0 riesgo. Pues ya provoca como es en mi caso, que me canse de ver lo mismo, pero su cometido para lo que se hizo este film, lo cumple, busca entretener, nada mas. Pero para algo tan pretencioso, como un universo cinemático y fases, sinceramente, me esperaba más.

Sobre las novedades de la peli, el malo, Ultrón pues es como en el cómic... de los primeros, un villano de opereta simplón, mediocre con plan chorra de destruir el mundo, y muy inferior al brillante Loki de Tom Hiddleston, si, damas y caballeros, Loki se come con patatas a ese trozo de hojalata sin carisma. Los gemelos, pues correctos, y justifican bastante bien lo de que aparezcan en XMEN, ya me entenderéis cuando la veais.

En conclusión, si esperáis algo nuevo, fresco o que sorprenda. No vais a encontrar nada. Solamente el mismo film de siempre. Ni una escena Postcreditos interesante, salvo para el Fanboy de turno que dirá solo maravillas, el resto... bueh, entretenida y ya.… Expand

As all (or almost all) of the characters to be fair. This movie feels like Iron Man 3.5 with too much focus around Stark, Whedon's pat on the back to Renner - "sorry for the first movie, in this one you'll be important. Don't care whether is makes sense", romance between Banner and Romanov is... well, as many have stated before me - dull and plain stupid.
But! The movie is not bad - the effects are great, some of the fights are handled great and a few lines are worth mentioning. As a standalone it can defend itself. As a sequel it fails miserably. For the Marvel Cinematic Universe Avengers: Age of Ultron could not exist. It wouldn't change much. Maybe it would be fot the best...… Expand

Ultron: "There are no strings on me!".

The story to The Avengers: Age of Ultron is about Tony Stark jumpstarts a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, TheUltron: "There are no strings on me!".

The story to The Avengers: Age of Ultron is about Tony Stark jumpstarts a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as they battle to save the planet from destruction at the hands of the villainous Ultron.

You had no idea how excited I was for Age of Ultron even after the chilling and dark looking teaser trailer we got back in October last year. The teaser trailer looked really dark and so dead serious and I know that's a thing with Marvel films today that they making they own films look dark and gritty but it's comedy, I have no idea why they do that but anywhere I was hooked. The villain Ultron was another reason for me to get excited for the movie as "There are no strings on me", thing I never thought it would be so creepy. After seeing the movie I can say that Age of Ultron is a great start to summer movies and a lot of fun to watch.

Joss Whedon had spoken out saying "This was the hardest movie he ever worked on", and I clearly see the effort and hard work put into this movie. Joss had a lot of things in his hands while making this movie and that's it's characters, story, action and it's brilliant sense of humor, and it payed off well. Joss Whedon did a great job directing this movie as he put in enough energy and to entertain everyone.

James Spader as the villain Ultron is pretty much what I already expected for the most part but these a lot of surprises to his character like his sense of humor and how self aware he is about everything around him and I think it worked and fitted him very well. James Spader pretty much dose Raymond 'Red' Reddington from The Blacklist and I'm not saying that in a negative way but more of a good thing. Marvel isn't doing such a great job with villains and I'm not talking about Loki I mean in Thor: The Dark World, Iron Man 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy all have weak villains but Ultron was awesome and I'm happy his character wasn't like the other villains in those three movies I just named. Great work James Spader.

The visual effect's were pretty damn good, the Avengers themselves are once again brilliant as we remember them.

Now for problems: Black Widow and Bruce Banner or Hulk have a love triangle in this movie and it really doesn't work at all. They chemistry wasn't there and there was no build up to it, I would like to see Captain American or Haweye have relationship with her as she as better chemistry with those two, it would have made more sense since she's been with Captain America and Haweye more times than Banner.

I feel that the movie didn't really set up the Civil War story in the next Marvel movie with Iron Man and Captain America against each other. I know a couple of times those two would get into a little fight but they quickly shake it off and moved on, it's a small little nick pick I have and I know it wouldn't effect everyone else but I just saying the Civil War story should have been set up a little bit.

Overall The Avengers: Age of Ultron is a great start to the summer movie season. I had a great time watching this movie, I never got bored, all the characters had they screen time and it was funny and entertaining, the villain I thought was great and the action scenes was very enjoyable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a fan of Marvel, i was waiting for this new release and although it wasn't bad, it was kind of a disappointment compared to the first one. I saw it in IMAX for the first time and it's a great experience but the 3D is unecessary...First of all, a honorary mention to the brilliant voice of James Spader who actually made me believe that Ultron was real, he was the perfect choice but unfortunately the problem is that this villain simply doesn't have personality and his plans were confusing that no one really understand why he was doing that, a total flop! Even if they add new characters, there was no development at all. The movie had great humor without being forced and visually is brilliant with fantastic action scenes but the whole thing is just another copy from the first one...I hated the romance between Black Widow and Banner, it was so childish and painful to watch. The addition of Hawkeye's family was nothing special, total waste of time, it just seems pointless. They really needed to cut some scenes because it were super boring especially those in the farm...The Twins were fine, but the typical "the villain is horrible so lets be good" is already wasted. About the cast, Downey Jr. doing his thing, already annoys me, Stark's arrogance it was cool at the beggining but now it's just stupid. Evans was ok, nothing new and Hemsworth's Thor was just to give some comic relief. Bettany's Vision seems really good, probably the thing that i got most excited about it. Just like i said, Johansson and Ruffalo were completly ruined by that ridiculous "chemistry"...And i hope to see more of Jackson's Nick Fury because everytime he appears, he steals the show. I think this is probably one of the worst movies by Marvel and in my opinion only shows us that Whedon doesn't have nothing new to give us, that's why they already replaced him for the next Avengers...… Expand

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.

The Avengers is an absolute behemoth of a movie. Throwing together the best interwoven cinematic universe is a tough thing to do, but Marvel certainly nailed it. Many consider The Avengers to be a cornerstone film for comic book adaptions.The Avengers is an absolute behemoth of a movie. Throwing together the best interwoven cinematic universe is a tough thing to do, but Marvel certainly nailed it. Many consider The Avengers to be a cornerstone film for comic book adaptions. Though I have my gripes with it, those people are certainly right; it nails the essence of what a comic book feels like. Also The Avengers was popular, as many of you know. Like the transition from The Dark Knight to Rises, it’s nearly impossible to meet the standards the previous film has made, but Whedon has tried and he gives us a flawed gem that I have enjoyed more than the first, but still has it’s share of issues.

The opening of the film very much channels the energy of the ending of the first movie. The high pace action that follows one characters and passes the torch to another, eventually giving us an overview of the team, The movie has some very well placed shots, and for the sake of the action, some great cinematography. When Iron Man punches something with tons of inertia, you feel it. When the Hulk bulldozes his way through a structure, you get the awe of the moment, something director, Joss Whedon, nails and is more consistent with this time around.

It wouldn’t be a Whedon film without mentioning the dialogue. Joss proves, yet again, that he’s a master of banter and juggling characters. This works out great, particularly with Hawkeye, whom gets the best lines the entire movie and cements himself as a standout, he is given the right amount of love and care that was absent. Iron Man bounces off of everyone pretty well, and the characters feel exactly as they should be, except Ultron. Our villain here is played quite well by the mesmerizing voice of James Spader, however, the dialogue fails him. Too often do we hear sarcasm that just doesn’t feel right and doesn’t match the sinister look and feel that Ultron should emulate. It’s disappointing because Ultron had so much potential to be a more menacing and memorable villain and instead, he just fills a role.

There’s a romance dynamic between Dr. Banner and Black Widow that seems out of place as well. It’s good to get some insight into the mind of the Hulk but the way it came to life just feels out of place and doesn’t have a good enough pay off, though perhaps it will in a future installment. We also get two new characters in the form of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Both are integral to the plot, and Scarlet Witch makes for a pretty good edition, whereas Quicksilver’s powers are showcased very well, neither give off a huge lasting impression, but it’s forgivable and they’re fun to see on screen.

The main problem that the movie suffers from is pacing. The first one spent all it’s time on the helicarrier and in New York, this one juggles so many locations it’s tough to pin it all down. The beginning is quick and interesting, but then there’s just gap that doesn’t really grab and hold onto us. Age of Ultron is at it’s best when there’s action going on or The Avenger’s themselves are caught up in conflict with one another. This oddball pacing continues, but it doesn’t mean we don’t get some great moments. We get a look at Black Panther’s main villain played by Andy Serkis. There’s an action sequence in Africa with Hulkbuster armor and The Hulk that’s a highlight, the ending is pretty solid as well, and any scenes with The Vision are great.

What attracts me to the movie is how it’s evolved from the first one. Whedon could have done it all over again in the same format and people would have loved it, but that’s no how he does it. We get a fleshed out story that sometimes falls but damn it’s admirable, we get the comedy and quips that Joss is known for, and some superb action to top it all off. I will admit that while most of the dialogue was great, there are some bad moments of dialogue, however they are few and far in between.

What we get is a commendable movie that I really did have a lot of fun with. There are moments where I got lost, there was too much going on, or it jumps around too much, but we end up with a Marvel movie that delivers, and the promise of an Avenger’s sequel is a hard thing to deliver, Whedon does his best and gives us a good product. Age of Ultron is a great movie for any Marvel fans and film goers alike.… Expand

Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner are back with some new additions to the franchise in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron', one of the most anticipated films of 2015.

This sequel isRobert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner are back with some new additions to the franchise in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron', one of the most anticipated films of 2015.

This sequel is very different to the 2012 film, 'The Avengers'. By that I mean the first movie is for people who are looking for a good action flick and are disappointed with the "Transformers" films. But the action still needs purpose and that's what that movie had to offer, it didn't disappoint. "Age of Ultron" on the other hand is a darker, personal and small sequel than the original. In other words, if you like a bigger story with heart and emotion with some pretty neat action, i.e. 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' (2014), than this one is for you.

While the characters are back, the humor is present and the action scenes are aplenty, 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' will no doubt divide many audiences who may think this is either better than the original, or slightly underwhelming. I think it's as good as the first, it may not be clean as 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' (2014), nor is it messy as 'Guardians of the Galaxy' (2014), but I was gripped from start to finish.

James Spader voices Ultron, the main enemy of the film. The first thing I have to comment on is his performance, and what a performance it is. I reckon Ultron is the best on-screen, comic-book villain since Heath Ledger's Joker in 'The Dark Knight' (2008).

Another new additions to the franchise are; Pietro Maximoff aka "Quicksilver" (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Wanda Maximoff aka "Scarlet Witch" (Elizabeth Olsen). I didn't really feel that these characters were necessary to this story, but they had some spectacular moments and that's thanks to Joss Whedon's confident direction.

Overall, I liked this movie, probably not as much as recent superhero outings such as 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' (2014) or 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' (2014)...but I liked it much better than 'Guardians of the Galaxy' (2014). The story is darker, the action scenes maybe too much and too exhausting, and maybe 2 hours and 21 minutes is a bit too long...but if you are a die-hard Marvel fan, you will not be disappointed.

And by the way, is Aaron Johnson's Quicksilver better than Evan Peters? I still prefer Evan Peters because of that famous slow-motion scene, but Johnson delivers a clean and sophisticated, cool performance.… Expand

Despite several moments of cheesy humor provided by a scrambling cast of vaudevillians and a few moments of genuine magic, this film never feels particularly super or heroic. It's hard to get invested in a movie about the possible extinction of humanity, when the human characters focus most of their energy on quips and insult humor. This is like the worlds largest, longest, loudest episode of The Big Bang Theory. The only thing missing is the overbearing laugh track, which was sadly not provided by the audience I sat with.

I would recommend bringing along some aspirin, which you might need unless this movie does its intended job of numbing you to core. I left the theater with a headache and the sinking feeling that Disney has once again corrupted powerful mythology into something completely devoid of meaning or cultural import.… Expand

This movie understands what it built in the first movie, and gives you everything you wanted. I had so much fun, and cared about these characters more than I thought I could.

Too much of a good thing? Some critics thought so. But for film fans, a great roller coaster ride on par with last year's Capt America installment.… Expand

This was a great sequel. It was not ruined by the trailers, everything fit, still funny and a good continuation from Avengers 1. It was a little long, but it did not feel like it was grinding. Cannot wait for Avengers 3.

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.… Expand

The movie was awesome despite few obstacles..all in all it was a great film and most of the credit goes to Joss Whedon...I liked the part where he played on with the minor characters like Vision,Falcon,Agent Hill etc...

Avengers Age of Ultron is excellent. Would you expect anything less from Marvel Studios and Joss Whedon? They are perfectly matched together and this film is no different.

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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go horribly wrong and it's up to the Avengers to stop the evil Ultron from enacting his terrible plans.

The opening action scene shows our heroes taking out a HYDRA base to recover Loki's sceptre. The reason i mention this scene is because it sets the style for what's to come. Visually this fast paced cg single shot felt messy and more comparable to a video game cut scene rather than a 250 million dollar Hollywood blockbuster. Later the Hulk and Iron Man's Hulkbuster cause city damage of 9/11 proportions, and not much discussion about the consequences. Also with the camera being so close to the lightning quick action, it was difficult to know what was happening with bodies and debris flying everywhere. The third act is centred around a city ripped from the Earth, with flying battles between Ultron's minions, Iron Man and S.H.I.E.L.D's hellicarrier (don't ask me where that came from after the events of Winter Soldier)

The character development in Age of Ultron feels inconsistent with the rest of the franchise. The events of Iron Man 3 and Winter Soldier seem to have been brushed aside as Tony Stark and Captain America look and sound better than ever, no traces of the doubt and confusion they went through. We spend some time with Ulysses Klaw in South Africa but it's all too short. Newcomers Scarlet Witch and her brother Quicksilver debut with accents and all. The brother's death is certainly emotional but fell flat considering Aaron Taylor-Johnson didn't grab my attention during his screen time. Paul Bettany's Vision is introduced late but to great effect, his power and abilities matching those of his peers.

The more interesting moments of the film was an attempt at giving some emotion and story to characters like Hawkeye and Black Widow, but the latter's romance with the Bruce Banner comes out of nowhere and feels rushed. Some hints at what's to come in Civil War are placed around the film that are absorbing, but aren't fleshed out despite over 2 and a half hours runtime. Any animosity we witness between Stark and Cap is pretty much ignored by the end.

Don't worry, there are plenty of quips and explosions for people who came for quips and explosions. Even James Spader's Ultron (at times menacing and intriguing as a robot planning to destroy humanity) is presented as a wisecracking (that's right, wisecracking) sentinel due to being born from Tony Stark's ambitions. Tense scenes are oddly interrupted with typical Whedon humour that begins to feel tiresome. The party scene early on is ideal for all that, and i enjoyed the banter among God like superheroes trying to be social.

Now even though i had a good time in a turn-my-brain-off kind of way, and nothing felt horrible or insulting like oh i don't know cough Iron Man 3 cough, the whole experience was more going through the motions rather than the spectacle i hoped for. It's still popcorn fun but predictable. Rather than moving forward, Age of Ultron feels like Marvel saying, "Nah, i'm ok here, thanks". With Joss Whedon stepping down due to his self confessed exhaustion and the Russo Brothers taking over for Infinity War, the time is right for change, because Marvel's cinematic universe shows signs of going stale.… Expand

‘Now this is going to make a good story’ states Don Cheadle optimistically towards the end of this epic Marvel adventure, when in fact it has proved to be anything but. The first film wasn’t actually too bad, but Marvel have reached their‘Now this is going to make a good story’ states Don Cheadle optimistically towards the end of this epic Marvel adventure, when in fact it has proved to be anything but. 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

Age of Ultron is pretty much non-stop punching action. There's very little downtime between scenes, and every scene has someone punching something. In the first movie we had emotion, tension, drama... basically a bunch of gods trying to get the measure of each other as they fought against a largely unknown enemy, that culminated in a good ol' fashioned brawl. Here we have just the brawl, and the movie lacks for it. It's not bad, but its not the same quality.

It was also painfully clear that this movie was written to fill the gap and get the Marvel Universe to where the writers wanted it for the third movie. There's so much "oh look who's here" and "hey, guess what this is" that it would be ridiculous in anything but a comic book movie.

Ultimately, a fun movie, worth the money to see it in the theater, but I doubt I'll watch it a second time nor remember it much anyway. Unlike the first movie, which I have seen multiple times and plan to see again real soon.… Expand
