31	Barthalen	60 _38th
Was I entertained? Yeah, sure. Was I satisfied? Nope. Too many action set pieces, too many characters, a rather unengaging execution. It feels rushed and samey; again with the mind control, again with the SpaceMacGuffin, again with the faceless army third act. Doesn't add a lot to the Marvel movie universe apart from some new weak characters, and I think playing it annoyingly safe is this movie's greatest misstep. I kinda liked Ultron but I can't really say why.
26	BillyShears	45 _15th
Throw another hundred robots at them it is still not interesting.
13	bakcheia	25 _27th
Let me save you two and a half hours of your time and sum this up for you: Black Widow and Hulk, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N- oh fuck he flew off in a stealth jet. Welp, that was dull while it lasted. Oh yeah, and there is a bunch of pointless action, shallow character development, more pointless action, and some sad attempts at philosophy. Let it gross a few hundred million and wait for the salivating fanboys to come back and watch the next Marvel movie. I know I'll be there, unfortunately.
12	Langelund (CinemaZone.dk)	20 _8th
Superhero overload. The last hour makes you never want to watch an action sequence again.
11	FrederikA	65 _58th
Where Avengers 1 felt like a fantastic culmination of Marvel's "Phase 1", the second one suffers from feeling like a pitstop on the way to the next batch of adventures. Ultron was a potentially great villain, but in the turbo charged story, with barely enough screen time to go around, he never really seems to pose much of a threat. This is not to say that the movie isn't entertaining, because it is a fun ride, it's just not as fine-tuned as the first time around.
11	Cinema_Asia	75 _71st
The interesting moments are the quiet ones where you see the heroes bantering with each other. Ultron and his master plan definitely needed more thought in the writer's cave because it was a mess. Action scenes were more complex than the other marvel movies and visually interesting. The less popular heroes are actually given a voice and purpose now. Overall better than most of the other Marvel films but not the top. Kudos for not making Vision look completely ridiculous.
10	KasperL	55 _39th
Sure, it looks awesome when Iron Man hammers The Hulk repeatedly in the face. And yeah, this is a well-paced and very entertaining sequel. But... The somewhat formless plot writing reeks of procrastination, and the oh-so-witty character of Ultron stinks even worse (James Spader is an even less intimidating villain than Lee Pace's LARP-type role in "Guardians").
10	mwgerb	57 _59th
"The city's flying, we're fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense." The closest Marvel is going to get to a Hawkeye movie; his segments are definitely the most worth watching. As for the rest, it doesn't really come near the heights of The Avengers the first time around. Ultron doesn't measure up to Loki as a villain, and the Hulk/Natasha romance seems ill-conceived. However, it's still the type of enjoyable ride that Marvel's become good at churning out.
9	Ocelot	25 _17th
A whole bunch of bleh. Characters fly around the screen and appear in places, then punch cartoons, then stuff happens. Everyone's power is editing themselves into a boring action sequence. Characters range from confusing to downright contradictory. The score is fucking awful. I'm sick of Marvel.
9	JacoIII	35 _32nd
"Avergers: In the Age" is fine! It has all your favourites: Patriot Pants, Lithium Friend, Golden Nasty, Dingo, Rough-N-Tumble, Girl Dingo. Where else can you see them face off against Hello Computer? Anyway, if anyone wants to borrow my pirated copy just let me know.
9	DavidBlast	50 _44th
This movie reminded me of that time when I begged my parents for a new He-Man doll (Webstor, if you were wondering), and they told me that I hardly played with the stuff I already had. So I meticulously arranged every single toy in my possession all around the living room, and made extra super loud noises as I brought every single one of them into play. I actually had an okay time, but it wasn't really what I wanted, now was it? Things I learned from this review: I was a scheming little bastard.
8	SirStuckey	40 _14th
Full disclosure: I am slowly but surely losing my interest in these comic book movies. Even ones that aren't just rehashes of every other super hero movie and are actually good I generally just "like" now. I can't tell if this was bad or if I just have had enough when they all feel the same. The action felt just like what I saw in Captain America 2 only with the other Avengers, the romance angle lacked chemistry, and the humor was overused and mostly bad.
8	Paxton	59 _34th
Let's talk about Marvel stepping on themselves by having too big a universe and also too little focus on heroism. The best scene in this movie is when the superheroes try to lift Thor's hammer. It's a nice bit of comradery, humor, and legend building. That shot of Thor noticing the slight movement when Cap touches it is perfect. Perfect. Then seconds later Vision is walking around with it because WHO CARES? By End Game, I felt nothing when Cap wielded it, and I REALLY wanted to feel that.
8	juntakinte99	73 _45th
This is a perfectly average summer popcorn movie. My minor complaint is that I'd prefer my fanboy cinema to have deeper thoughts/scenes that cause audiences to have philosophical conversations with friends & family. Still, Ultron continues an eerie thematic undercurrent in recent action flicks: people fighting a great evil that they themselves created to fight an invisible or distant enemy. Overall the movie serves as a workplace action comedy--which isn't a bad thing once you think about it.
7	terrymac	62 _41st
Suffers a bit from an overlong running time, repetitive fight scenes against hordes of insubstantial enemies, some dodgy dialogue and the feeling that we've seen it all before. That said, even when they're a bit mediocre, these Marvel films still have a lot of charm. I like the cast, and some of the ideas and execution are pretty impressive. It's alright, just not very satisfying.
7	Nroo	33 _10th
Haha they are talking about mundane things while they are fighting. Computers are bright floaty pictures you swish around with your hands. Hey Joss, adding a sentence about God in every Ultron speech wont bring enough gravitas to surpass your dogshit cinematography. If Vision had nailed Ultron to a cross I'd probably bump this score up to a 41.
7	The Pirate	87 _86th
It's gotta be insanely difficult to balance a story with between six and eleven major characters, and I admire that characters without there own movies received more attention. My main complaints are with the shaky cam, the super fast editing, Ultron's rushed motivation, a few fairly predictable plot points, and not as much inclusion of the twins. On the other hand, the action scenes, portrayals of the characters, comedy, and Whedon's own devotion to the story really show.
7	DesertPunk	63 _34th
I'll be the first to admit how much I praise comic book movies that feel like comic books, but this has kind of forced me to admit that it isn't always a good thing. While a movie like Iron Man felt like a fantastic first issue, Age of Ultron feels like a badly written annual. Entertaining and fun to look at, but dumb and barely a movie.
7	Tony Irwin	62 _56th
With the same simplistic structure, and the same puerile sensibility as the last one, it's essentially the same movie. But this time Scarlet Witch's dream-horror abilities added just barely enough psychological depth to keep me on board through the Transformers style destruction porn, and The Hobbit style cgi hordes of identical bad guys getting bopped around the screen in meaningless fashion. Very occasionally the screen looked like a comic book panel, and then I shivered with true delight.
7	BeeDub	85 _63rd
Avengers: Treading Water.
6	theficionado	25 _20th
Here's my best attempt to muster enough energy to review Avengers 2 as though it were an actual attempt at storytelling & filmmaking instead of just one more step in Disney's tedious commodifying of color-by-numbers fan service: More like Age of Dulltron. Don't worry, Avengers 3 promises a whole new adventure carried by the afterthoughts of this movie, though without Whedon I guess we might have to do without the hilariously ineffective stabs at pathos.
6	Gideon	1 _16th
Alright, so no one else is willing to just be honest. This movie sucks, it is as simple as that. It's so crammed up to the brim with mindless 'action', shitty dialogue, bad pacing and then some. Whedon seems out of his element, 'jokes' fall flat most of the time and in the end you wonder, why the EFF did I spend 13 Euro's on this drivel? Marvel only really succeeded with GotG, at least to my taste. Last but not least, F-CK 3D, I couldn't detest anything more than that. I want 2D back.
6	mrandersen10	55 _12th
What a letdown... I really enjoyed the 1st movie and I'm a big comic book fan -- but now, for the 1st time since the cinematic superhero boom started, I feel like the genre has officially blown its brains out. The bubble has burst. By the halfway mark, I was constantly fidgeting in my seat wanting to leave; I haven't felt that way in ages! For a film of this caliber to feel so stale and so plastic, I've lost all enthusiasm and hope for future MCU films.
6	MArkjp	45 _21st
The super hero movie to end all super hero movies. Or so one hopes. All that was good and right about the first one is gone, the comedy seems forced and everything seems unfocused.
6	RandallODim	69 _22nd
AvEhhhhhngers: Age of It's-Alright-I-Guess-tron. It's at least nice to have a superhero movie whose climax is dedicated to saving people rather than just punching bad guys. And hey, Don Cheadle got to have a few lines! That was fun. Anthony Mackie too. I at least look forward to them having more single scene cameos in Avengers 2.5: Captain America 3: Civil War: Now With More Spider-Man!
6	Leonardis	91 _68th
I guess I'm one of the few that was truly pleased with this movie. I agree that it's a little less eventful than the later MCU films and it's not as funny as the first Avengers, but the quiet moments between the characters are great. Banner was the best character, and I really dug what they did with Hawkeye and Black Widow. The action isn't too bad the the story develops our heroes further. Obviously well acted and made. I personally thought it was the kind of sequel we deserved.
6	VengefulKBM	70 _51st
Ultron is definitely the star of the show here, and James Spader's charisma completely carries the movie. Also appreciated is the actual characterization of Hawkeye, and the scenes towards the beginning where the Avengers were just hanging out and being themselves (in particular the scene where everyone was drunkenly trying to lift Thor's hammer was a highlight). There ended up being too many mindless action sequences, but overall, it's an engaging, if not spectacular, comic book movie.
6	DyanneThorne	60 _46th
True to its nature as a sequel, AoU does what the first Avengers did, but faster, stronger, harder and definitely louder. I am, however, unable to come up with a single thing that it actually does better. An enjoyable enough ride, but the ending made it feel like it only served to bring together the team for the next Avengers movie.
5	Esmerodo	40 _10th
Character development of Black Widow felt contrived, as did her romance with the Hulk. The female superheroes and other female characters all seem token in the Avengers series. It put me off that they had Black Widow saying she felt like a monster because she couldn't have children and idealized Hawkeye's secret barefoot in the kitchen wife.
5	TrixRabbi	50 _9th
It's like Team America: World Police played straight.
5	ribcage	90 _92nd
spader commands as Ultron. first half is solidly flashy splashy action flick that all these marvel films are but the second half while keeping up that same action does actually attempt to show the battle damage on its characters. managed to balance enormous superhero stakes with smaller more personal moments. gotta say that i like the more fantastical elements of Vision and scarlet witch's powers. with all the "realism" of hero flicks the last decade its cool to get back to stuff like that
5	sheepslasher	1 _12th
Seamlessly blended in with the other, shorter, trailers that played before it in the theater.
5	antidood1	50 _17th
I have to give Whedon credit for orchestrating the impressive feat of making a bunch of barely-known superheroes iconic and interesting to the main public within just a few years. Now, I have to give him credit for turning them into bland, lifeless caricatures of themselves in an even shorter time. Few things in this movie stand out (Scarlett Witches dreams being one of them). It feels like a very expensive fan-made sequel, made by someone who never grasped the essence of the first movie.
5	Lightning17	76 _61st
Action-packed, epic, silly, and fun, Age of Ultron is not as focused as its predecessor, but is bolstered by its visual effects and fun characters. What it lacks in drama and focused plot, it makes up for in spectacle, and has a few very good moments.
5	LookJabba...	7 _57th
Age of Ultron is an enormous amount of fun. But whereas the first Avengers felt like a standalone film in it's own right, this sequel feels like a less significant piece in the larger MCU jigsaw. Credit to Joss Whedon, he has even more characters, plot threads and MCU baggage to juggle and the unveiling of Vision in particular is incredibly satisfying. And as expected the action, set pieces, cinematography and mix of old and new characters is certainly fan pleasing and thoroughly entertaining.
4	Ytadel	4 _43rd
Lord knows I'm a Joss Whedon fan - I've watched Firefly's full run many times, Buffy's twice, Angel, Dollhouse, all that stuff - but, beyond the Whedon-y quips, I sense little of him in the final product here. Those quips, along with a quarter-billion dollars of effects and spectacle, certainly make the film watchable, but overall Marvel's corporate hand is heavily felt in a generic story. Ultron himself is a disappointment as a villain, better than Ronan or Malekith, but no Joker or Magneto.
4	Spunkie	20 _8th
I'm growing tired of superhero movies, this one is especially clogged with exposition and nonsensical plot. From here on Avenger movies are a nogo for me.
4	frederic_g54	6 _35th
For years, I've been trying to answer the age-old philosophical question: what would happen if Bruce Banner would Hulk out during intercourse? Unfortunately, my team of research monkeys refuses to investigate this pressing issue until I pay them more bananas. I've since fired them all.
4	Mentaculus	64 _40th
A movie not at war with Ultron so much as it's at war with itself. The film is desperately swinging blindfolded for what makes these characters human, from Hawkeye's suburban respite to Banner's brooding romance - even Ultron and Thor make the attempt. It's at constant odds with the God and Gods theme and oppressive PG violence. I think it's fatigue - when Hawkeye tells us nothing makes sense, and you have to make the best with what you've got, that's Joss crying inside.
4	chadisdanger	62 _12th
The storytelling in the first film had a purity to it when it came to throwing these characters into a room and seeing them slowly join forces. We're past all of that now, so unfortunately we get a typical overstuffed superhero sequel. Solid character work is interrupted by endless amounts of stuff happening and Ultron starts off intimidating but is quickly ruined by stupid one liners. It's entertaining in all the ways you'd expect but stubbornly avoids being anything better.
4	Okkervil	59 _50th
Credit to Whedon for managing to squeeze so many characters into one film & keeping the whole thing mostly coherent & fun. In Ultron we're given only the outlines of a great villain, but Spader's voice work is perfect. Negatives are plenty however. Whedon's wisecracking screenplay is considerably more irritating than funny, & somehow even more hokey than his usual fare. It's too long also, & dare I say the action sequences could have been cut by about 20%? The Hulk/BW love-up is horrid also.
4	guy piranha	65 _53rd
ultron should be a new word creation. if you're really excited about something, say eating a certain burger because the sauce they use is fucking superb, but the retard working the grill just drowns that shit in it, there's just "ultron" sauce on this burger. he could've easily made two more with that amount, but he decided to cram it all into one, because you seem to love it so much. he might have meant well, but it ended up being ultron. thank you. bye.
4	JLFM	43 _12th
Robert Downey Jr. does his Iron Man shtick which doesn't work very well with a script this lackluster. Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth struggle to elevate themselves above the writing. Even Scarlet Johansson's permanent smirk seems to suggest that she can't take any of the dialogue seriously.
4	Proximity	50 _31st
Probably the most "okay" movie I have ever seen.
4	guitarmeeuw	59 _30th
Enjoyable watch. I really like the individual stories of the characters and how they combine into a greater backstory which the films lead to; that is the strong point for me. That is also the problem which I had with this movie. It does not progress on that story. The action and effects are top-notch as you would expect from such a production. However, it falls flat in all the other departments. Felt like a filler-movie to me. Villain had non-logical motives.
4	TimeCapsule	78 _80th
The newest installment for in the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" is the disappointing sequel to the smash hit "The Avengers"(2012). Although not necessarily a bad movie the film unfortunately feels more like bloated filler when compared to other films in the series. The movie wants to do too many things while not doing any of them really new or noteworthy. The movie still serves as more of the same decent summer blockbuster fun, but in the end as a whole amounts to less than the sum of its parts.
3	slidercc	70 _65th
Just because it is not as good as the first, doesn't make it a BAD movie.
3	Malcym	5 _32nd
So there was a moment, somewhere in the middle of this film, where Thor jumps into a mystical pool and I had to admit to myself that it had no idea what was going on. Much if it is fun and it doesn't take itself seriously but, really... What did I just watch?
3	CloseFriend	72 _55th
This film has a lot to it. That means it has a lot of strengths--the returning cast's chemistry; Spader and Taylor-Johnson working off Whedon's inveterate smugness; a convincing sense of scale. But it also has a lot of weaknesses: the confusing story; the tacked-on death; the abject lack of change in any of the characters; the relegation of black superheroes to minor roles; the apparent belief that we should allow ultra-rich superheroes to cause untold property damage because they know best.
3	MJVmovieMan	68 _41st
Everything that Joss Whedon pulled off so effortlessly in the first installment feels strained here. 'Age of Ultron' is the equivalent of 'Iron Man 2' to 'Iron Man'. The magic and novelty are noticeably absent. The action is big, the humor is hit or miss, and the overload of plot and characters wrestle the movie to the ground. The villain is also a major letdown considering the hype as well as the casting of James Spader. He's got nothing on Loki.
3	Anomaly	67 _43rd
Suffers partially from being a middle rather than an end, from being stuffed too full, and from a lack of menace from Ultron. However, the action scenes are effective, and the decision to put the emotional burden on the lesser-known characters was a very smart one. We're already invested in Iron Man and company, let's take the time to get to know everyone else and round out the team. So yes, I did enjoy it. But still, Infinity War better fucking deliver.
3	Obdurate	95 _97th
A vast improvement on the original in every way. Better villain, more attention paid to fleshing out the characters, more exciting action (the Hulkbuster fight or even the beginning scene). Ultron was pretty awesome with his snarkiness for the most part. This is what the Avengers should be.
3	INDYATMN	93 _93rd
It's telling that when Ultron first wakes, Whedon has us see the world through his eyes: he wants the audience 2 connect w/ all his characters, even if it's a robot bent on killing us all. Not many filmmakers pull off what Whedon's done twice now: there are many franchise mandates 2 meet in a film like this & even more characters 2 juggle, but he keeps it all in the air with a fluidity that's astounding. The setpieces r bigger than ever, but, luckily, so is the depth of characterization
3	moraesfelipe	48 _28th
Despite all the conflicts that bring some substance to the heroes' relationship within the team, Ultron feels so heavily filled with digital destruction and massive exposition of bland dialogues and jokes, that I forgot half of it right after it ended. For me, the second weakest Phase 2 entry -- first one is Guardians.
3	Stewball	80 _80th
The franchise keeps up the good work with excellent humor, clever plot devices and even some semi-in depth dialogue. It does get a bit over-busy or slow at times but it's 2 1/2 hours after all. Casting James Spader as the voice of Ultron was excellent; one of the most distinctive voices in show business.
3	FunkyAstro	65 _64th
If you are watching a comic book movie other than to make your thinky thing not do so many head pictures then you may want to skip watching the next one. At this point, whatever. I want it to be kind of stupid.
3	Honest_Thief	3 _31st
While admittedly my expectations were low, the Avengers sequel surprised by trumping the original at pretty much everything and by being almost interesting, undermined by its undeveloped themes. For instance, something like the Avengers actions culminating on a 9/11 parallel is of little consequence; seeing how by the end everything wraps in a nice innocuous sanitised resolution of a warfare conflict. It toes the line, the safe and uncomplicated line or Marvel's movie plans.
3	kgbelliveau	90 _82nd
With increasingly high stakes, each Avenger feels like they have more to prove. We find the Avengers searching for Loki's ceptor working as freelancers since Shield has disbanded. Joss Whedon once again creates a film full of twists and turns that include humour and intense action scenes. Ultrons presense brought a new feeling of doom for our heroes and created a dark atmosphere. At times however this film did feel over crowded with characters and a few seemed to be unnecessary.
3	overrated	19 _11th
What the fuck is up with so many people loving James Spader in everything he does, he's a bargain bin James Woods and you know it.
3	Lilarcor	46 _6th
There's a few good scenes here where for once everything slows down and there's some building of characters. That ends quickly however and the rest of the film has action with no weight or interesting stakes to them. There are no turns in these films that make you worried or tense about how they're going to get out of some mess, because all the superheroes are just too powerful or straight up invincible.
3	hellboy76	69 _73rd
Spader is intriguing as a villain but still doesn't convince as an ultimate evil. Marvel needs to bring out the big guns soon or this boom will fade fast.
3	closedmouth	70 _41st
Good fun, entertaining, though as with the first one, the action, while generally well-directed, overwhelms the best part of the movie (the personal interactions between these ridiculous characters in the lulls between action) and becomes a bit brain-numbing by the end. The whole thing feels frantic and overstuffed, like it's barely keeping all its balls in the air.
3	Superargo	95 _96th
Probably not quite as seamless and of-a-piece as the first one, but almost as much of a mega-entertaining blast of adrenaline. Ultron's a great, vivid--if one-dimensional--bad guy, and the team interplay is much more fun this go-around. Basically plays like an epic-sized story arc from the "Avengers" comics, with peaks & valleys in the plotting, characters drifting in & out of the action. It's awesome fun just to sit back and drink everything in.
3	damil	80 _90th
I loved it. I'd say it's on par with The Avengers. Great continuation of the franchise, but still works as a standalone movie. The story has a lot going on, but it's paced well. Each of the main characters get their own little story beats as well as explorations of their past, their motivations, and their relationships with one another. There are plenty of funny character moments. Olsen is a very welcome addition, and Ultron makes for a pretty interesting villain. It left me wanting more.
3	CMonster	45 _21st
"A hulk buster can't take down a skyscraper in 8 seconds, it's not physically possible. THE BEAMS WERE COVERED IN THERMITE PAINT!" "Hawkeye's super power is to be a great dad." Some good stuff here to riff to. Spader was awesome. Hulk wasn't used as well as Avengers 1. Probably my least favorite so far from the MCU, but I'm still on board with it. If you want better Avengers in character, drama, and story, check out the cartoon Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. They get more done with less.

A fun time, which is all it really needs to be, but it's nothing more. It's mostly set up, but at least James Spader salvaged the Ultron character from being completely inconsequential like the baddie in Guardians. It's all a bit run of the mill. I'm torn on the Marvel Universe. On one hand I can't shake the fact that it's a gigantic cash grab. On the other, I like the serialized nature emulating monthly comic books. It's still very watchable even if it's never great.
3	eCitizen	50 _49th
A total overload of action, fighting, nonsense, graphics, effects, sound & music. Amidst the chaos are a few good performances, some good computer graphics and a few interesting ideas. It's a comic on steroids and its frenetic pacing gets a little tiresome. Most of the ending was an escalating panorama of fighting scenes with a thin story that is all over the place. I felt bombarded. Too much CGI played in fast forward and very poor storytelling nearly ruins it.
3	amazedemon	75 _91st
Age of Ultron doubles down on witty one-liners, all the while aiming for darker tones. As Whedon's (probably) final feature in the MCU, it succeeds. While the film does feel like battle after battle, it's entertaining even when it's setting the stage for Civil War and Infinity War. The new characters are interesting, Spader does an excellent job as Ultron (who is honestly more compelling than several previous individual foes combined), and Bettany finally gets a body.
3	BadFurDay	5 _40th
The Hawkeye family angle sucked. The whole forced love story sucked. I cringed every time computers or the internet were mentioned. I do not appreciate constant product placement in my face. The action was fun though. The plot was weird and felt extremely random at times (yo let's turn this gem into a guy????), and half the characters feel completely useless. I had fun watching it, but I guess I'm just getting tired of the formulaic Marvel movies. They need to do something new.
3	joel-w-m	5 _25th
Another healthy dose of enormous and entertaining action make this a fun film to watch in spite of its mostly lazy writing (see Wanda and Pietro's weak antagonist motivations-and Ultron's, for that matter-and correspondingly cheap turn; the half-baked Hawkeye development; the far-fetched and only vaguely explained bad guy antics), with the aid of one well-timed bit of self-awareness: "The city's flying, we're fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense."
3	thunderPIN	80 _68th
It's not quite up there with the original but I enjoyed Age of Ultron. It delivers more of the top of the line action set pieces. If you look between the lines, Ultron is pretty much the same as its predecessor. An evil being wants to destroy the world and uses its army (this time robots) to wreak havoc. They even reuse the plot of The Avengers feuding with each other and learning how to work as one to succeed. The humor is ramped up even more. It's a fun time at the movies. 4 STARS
2	SlrSoapbox	65 _30th
The problems with this film begin and end with Ultron. He is just not a compelling villain, and his introductory scene with the extremely embarrassing Pinocchio reference just set the entire tone wrong. Spader's voice acting was fine, but the writing was not. The movie was just so many cliches bunched together, and the film felt overstuffed. And yet, most of the characters have no real development. Waste of a crucial opportunity.
2	Filligan	85 _59th
It's fun. I enjoyed myself. It's hard NOT to enjoy a witty Whedon action film. Spader is positively delicious as Ultron. But Whedon can't push the stakes beyond those that were in its predecessor, and it can only solve its problems by outrageously tipping the scales in the heroes' favor via new characters. The film's very title is a misnomer. Tension is direly needed here. I fear future MCU films will stick with inconsequential villains who ultimately change nothing. It's fun, but not "wow" fun.
2	djross	30 _13th
One can only wonder whether, were it not for the distorting effects of this megafranchise, actors of the calibre of Renner, Ruffalo and Downey Jr. might have been involved in better and more interesting uses of their talents. The movie is a long and tedious sequence of computerised special effects, half-hearted witticisms, and nods and winks to the silliness of it all. Could it be that Jackson's extremely prolific and widely celebrated career peaked 25 years ago, when he played Stacks?
2	lrampartl	49 _29th
Well, maybe I should be glad Whedon is leaving. This was kind of a mess, with 87 different subplots, and too many characters. The worst part was that important plot pieces were either danced over, or just made no sense. Winter Soldier crushes this turd under its star-spangled heel.
2	Pickpocket	2 _21st
I think I'm just a masochist to continually subject myself to these movies when I know they are going to be garbage before seeing them. This one was bad even for Marvel's standards. The plot is so disjointed and awkward and they just keep introducing new characters and new explosions to keep you distracted from how shit everything is. I can't wait for the Avengers 3 when they have more explosions and another plot that is by the numbers and more characters that no one gives a shit about.
2	PirateJason	82 _74th
Very much on par with the first movie, almost its equal, but it failed to really cover any new ground and being a sequel is inevitably unoriginal in some ways. I did appreciate the additional character development of Hawkeye and Ultron was much better than I thought he would be.
2	cagedwisdom	100 _90th
The best Marvel film so far. I was completely sick of superhero-movies going in but this really won me over despite of myself. I wish they would make far less of these and let Joss Whedon handle it all. Age of Ultron is an absolute blast. The new additions to the cast are great.
2	easydiff	69 _74th
Entirely acceptable entry.
2	walkabout	45 _12th
Elizabeth Olsen rocks!
2	CinematicESP	82 _57th
Unfortunately samey as far as Marvel movies go. Never quite achieves the "oomph" of the first one, but it has its moments (Hawkeye, the Vision, an underused James Spader). Thor feels almost entirely superfluous, outshined even (especially, in fact) by his own hammer.
2	PeaceAnarchy	77 _51st
Better than the first, if only because it somewhat acknowledges the messed up ideology inherent in the premise. It has no guts to follow through, though, so by the end it's still the same big explosion fest with the occasional wisecracks. Still, the character interactions and the action are good enough to make it enjoyable.
2	joseywales	68 _50th
I got 99 problems and an Ultron ain't one.
2	Difontaine	80 _78th
It's fun in a boom-splash-kaboom way, but it's as deep as a puddle.
2	tenhas	40 _11th
Another blockbuster, it's trailer better than itself
2	martryn	82 _81st
I honestly thought it topped the first film. Not as great as Guardians of the Galaxy, but a lot of fun, some great penis humor, both Johansson and Olsen with tits falling out of their tops, and a great climatic action sequence. Yeah, it sets things up for future films, but people need to understand that these movies don't exist in a vacuum and that's not how you're supposed to view them.
2	Duder	60 _40th
* We got some more in depth look at most of the characters which was good, I think once again, the movie was too long for its own good, but I actually never realised how long it was while watching. It's after it ends that you realise how long it was, but still a fun watch. Dunno if it were better than the first, but I think they compliment each other well. Some very good lines once again, Whedon is good at this.
2	muutanet	71 _66th
There was quite a bunch of characters in this breathtaking action scifi run though. The easy escape for building good characters is that Marvel is running other flicks for the series. One is supporting the others. This time we've got a love affair between two of them. There was several new comers I'm expecting more in future episodes.
2	Ross	55 _50th
The biggest disappointment of the year! It is still fine, but it should have been amazing.
2	andayb	50 _27th
the problem with our scooby-doo band's second outing is, the film is most entertaining when it's about them, their relationships, and banters, and so on. when a supervillian a.i. takes the stage, suddenly it becomes the age of yawn. and the universal rule of comic book adaptations manifest itself here as well: mo' heroes mo' problems.
2	Luna6ix	81 _78th
It's got enough flashy effects, awesome action, and funny one liners to hold it's own in a market flooded with comic book movies, but "Age Of Ultron" is actually a small step down. Paul Bettany as Vision was pretty cool, as a derpy Superman hero's hero, and Spader's voice was just too recognizable for me, it didn't work as a villain because all I could think about was the pretty boy from the 80's and 90's. Solid outing, still oodles of entertainment here, but just not quite as good as the first.
2	TangVampire	90 _60th
While I still love Avengers more (I have a thing for origin films), Age of Ultron was a delightful sequel. I'm a sucker for Whedon's writing as he handles team dynamics very well. There was enough character development that the action didn't seem too tired, and I loved the quieter scenes with the team just chilling together. With how intense Civil War is going to get, I needed those simple team friendship moments. Also can we talk about dat Ultron booty?
2	Ofterdingen	44 _25th
The usual heroes fighting evil in usual fashion. Nothing feels fresh - including thousands of evil, weak, boring robots. On top you get a confusing narrative. Next please!
2	TheRealJ-Ro	85 _84th
I dug this! I was a little tentative going in, I have to admit, because the more of the trailer(s) that I saw, the more I worried that the movie was going to go "too cornball", if you get me. MCU movies tend to walk that line between entertaining and self-parody; luckily, AoU never falls over that edge (though Ultron himself certainly pushes the envelope). But not only is AoU fun and fulfilling action-wise, the emotional depth steps it up a notch. This leaves us in a great place going forward.
2	WWallce4prez	60 _25th
Ultron's word vomit became tiresome rather quickly, which is a shame, because the villain might be the strongest aspect of Whedon's latest Marvel orgy. The humor is bad, the action is typical, the romance is forced, and the story is a silly mess. The lack of novelty may be the reason for the glaring issues, which, obviously, is no fault of the filmmaker. It may be time for me to admit that I am tired of superhero movies.
2	lovejoy	68 _31st
Straight into action and a great start at that bringing in elements of Hydra and setting off a complicated plot. No need for introductions so a blistering start, but unfortunately it quickly runs out of steam and the pacing right the way through the film from that point is all over the place. It struggles with whether it wants to be an out an out action film, a more sensitive character development film or a complex plot unravelling. It tries to be all 3 and fails at them all.A real disappontment
2	omgfridge	2 _19th
Does anyone actually believe the ScarJo romance with the Hulk? Why am I watching Hawkeye play suburbia dad? Whoops, I nodded off and now there is some big fight going on.. the end?
2	jfen	89 _68th
Character development and plot feel way better than the first one. Maybe the Hulk isn't quite as fun though. I'm impressed that he managed to make every character seem important.
2	spleen	54 _23rd
For added excitement, turn the sound down and watch the shiny bouncy CGI. Plus it helps prevent screen burn in.
2	Iustae	79 _74th
I laughed and I cried. I also enjoyed it, which was basically all I wanted from it.
2	Talvitie	85 _88th
One of the best Comicbook movies from Marvel. It felt like I would be in 90's again and reading a comic book. There are far better comic book movies than this one, but Age of Ultron isn't far behind the better ones.
2	Velvet Crowe	53 _54th
The whole idea of Ultron functioning as a foil to Tony Stark is laughably absurd and runs on a really stupid slippery slope that not a single person would ever fall down, not to mention his dialog was insufferable. The rest of the movie is very conventional MCU with everyone being quip machines and painful attempts at self-awareness. In the broader scheme, a lot of plot threads introduced here don't really go anywhere anyway so like what's the value here?
2	BradRapstars	70 _46th
Marvel sure knows how to cast well, and Whedon sure knows how to write lines for them to say. Pity about the rest of the film, like the plot, characters, cinematography....
2	asdf83sdhf	40 _25th
Over the top stunts and CGI. The CGI was bad, the story was weak, Ultratron un-intimidating. I really get the feeling these movies are for 13 year olds.
2	Ununnilium	60 _40th
A workable narrative, but with deep flaws. A relationship that feels terribly forced, some unfortunate decisions in how to introduce characters, completely forgetting that Iron Man 3 was a thing... There's energy and flow, James Spader is amazing, so is Paul Bettany, so is the rest of our amazing cast. It doesn't break the larger narrative, nor the individual stories. But I'm glad Joss Whedon is departing the MCU - he needs a rest. (2019 update: ...maybe it did break the narrative tho...)
2	Darren	30 _8th
For a movie in a franchise that is supposed to be a breath of fresh air this is identical to the first one
2	MontyCircus	80 _88th
Not enough action. HA! If you loved the first Avengers you'll love this too. So good! Laugh-a-minute and so full of thrills. Saw it opening Thursday night. Wouldn't mind seeing it again!
2	NothingsGood	25 _15th
The city is flying, we're fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense.
2	xacviant	75 _38th
The Avengers return, this time to combat an AI (created by Tony Stark) which seeks to destroy humanity. A mysterious pair of gifted twins (Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson) are involved, but what are their motives? Less sweeping or fresh than its predecessor, and burdened with subplots that just don't add enough (the Hulk-Widow romance is fairly awful), but still a fun ride, with the cast in good form--especially James Spader as the malevolent Ultron, his snaky voice a perfect fit.
2	TheDailyNathan	84 _72nd
Retroactive: 82=>84. More of the same from Avengers 1 - ensemble cast that will give you what you're expecting out of MCU characters, funny Joss Whedon quips throughout, generic plot, entertaining fight montages. Ultron is an interesting villain (much more than most MCU villains) - I liked that there was some humor/personality to it, but the motivations in the end were the same bland world destruction bent. Heavily disliked the new characters introduced - not nearly up to par with main cast.
2	KramYessev	80 _88th
The best thing Ultron does is quote a Disney movie. Don't worry, MCU. I'm sure you'll have a good villain eventually! ruffles hair
2	ThereminJam	80 _54th
There were parts of this movie I really enjoyed, but other parts...not so much. There were some pacing issues, where some shots lasted a bit too long and upset the flow of the movie. Would have liked to see a bit more character development...But, still, a fun movie.
2	DougieD	70 _35th
The opening shot that shows off each of the Avengers in action sets the tone. It's a typical Marvel Universe flick that sets out to provide flashy spectacle and cheeky humour to comic book fans and family audiences. Technically proficient when it comes to the action but it falters when things turn dramatic, especially in the plodding second act. The banter between characters isn't quite as smart as in the first film, and a romance subplot falls flat. But hey, it's fun to watch on the big screen.
2	mattorama12	64 _46th
Not terrible, but just feels like they were going through the motions. Adds characters just for the sake of adding characters, and none of the new characters had any time to develop into anything particularly interesting. The best parts of the Avengers movies so far have been the quieter moments where they actually take advantage of having so many A-list actors in a scene together. Once it's just massive CGI action scenes, they aren't taking advantage of the charisma of this cast.
2	suplextrain	60 _20th
They basically remade the first movie.
2	susie-mauve	71 _27th
Better than i expected, it's really dynamic and well-paced, and characters are flavorful and charismatic. Does stick to the comic-book type of story, but the output is not ridiculous.
2	htiman	81 _88th
A pretty good movie with a great cast. The returning characters are as good as ever, and the new characters are interesting. Marvel makes another enjoyable movie.
2	magdabag	93 _89th
This...movie...was...AWESOME!!!!!! It had everything you'd want in a Marvel movie. It had action, comedy, romance, great acting, great visual effects, and awesome directing. I only liked it a little better than the 1st one. I'm really interested to see what they're going to do with their new recruits. Can't wait!
2	FoxyRussian	84 _54th
The most comic book movie MCU has put out, but it's starting to feel a little over stuffed and all the subplots suffered by being underdeveloped. The worst love subplot which comes out of nowhere (its not like you had several movies to make it....) and is handled horribly with cliche or dialogue that just doesn't fit the movie's tone.
2	talonmalon	74 _45th
Avengers: Age of Ultron feels a little bogged down when compared to its predecessor, which didn't need to use anything more than a basic plot. This sequel tries to tell a more structured story, which works in its favor in a few ways, but in others, it's a bit less engaging and comes up short. The action sequences aren't as bombastic as they were in the first movie but are enjoyable enough. Thankfully, what hasn't faltered is the cast. Big mention goes to Ultron, who is a very enjoyable villain.
2	cmiles	60 _45th
Liked the pace, thought the addition of the twins was nicely done and more interesting than usual - but overall 'just a superhero' movie.
2	HedlesChkn	90 _94th
I was looking forward to this film since the end of the last one, and it didn't disappoint. Which speaks volumes, given my high expectations. Whedon has managed to up the stakes with both action and character development - and the classic Whedon humour has magnified too. This film also sets up Phase 3 nicely with new characters, threads and locales all being introduced. My only qualm is it's very CG heavy and not all was executed as best it could be. Spader steals the show.
2	Samster	76 _25th
Not very focused. Ad-libbing by Robet Downey Jr. and a couple of quips by others are refreshing. Definitely not as good as the first one.
2	Chronicler	95 _53rd
a more somber sequel to the smash hit,Age of Ultron wasn't as good as The Avengers(though that's still better than many films that come out now) The action was too frantic and Ultron's motivations were kinda weak(James Spader notwithstanding) and some of the dialogue(particularly between Banner and Black Widow) was clunky and disjointed. All that said, it was entertaining and The Vision looked cool.
2	filmseeking	68 _67th
Entertaining standard Marvel movie with unnecessarily prolonged over-the-top action and far too many characters.
2	VorpalKitten	95 _93rd
The only real flaw with the movie is that I went in already expecting it to be better than the Avengers? So when it was, it was just living up to my expectations.
2	Hawkins	59 _23rd
This overstocked and over-animated sequel walks back one of the saving graces of the first outing - a villain that, despite being a pale skinny guy with golden antlers, had a tactile and engaging onscreen presence (cgi army notwithstanding). Still, Spader's got a good a voice as any for the job and I enjoyed the scene inside Ultron's thought process, could have stood a bit more of that and a bit less compensation for Jeremy Renner's restricted role as the near-useless guy.
2	Rudolph101	69 _19th
Those going in hoping to learn Ultron's actual age will be disappointed, as will everybody else.
2	Mist600	69 _30th
Just, in chat, mis-reffed Infinity War as "Avengers 2". So, YEAH...this one hasnt exactly ripened or affixed itself in memory with passage of time! Marvel machine was rolling along smoothly by Ultron but NOT a highlight. Cluttered & messy, not as much fun as 1st, 3rd & many of solo films \| Hulk v HulkBuster = fun \| Villain & his daft plot do, far as I recall, really fall into Marvel trap of bland & weak yet world-ending repetition. Loki & Thanos (& hence films 1 & 3) FAR better
2	Quintonjamin	40 _23rd
Ultron is an extremely weak villain which led to a lot of problems with the plot. There are so many characters that no single one is really developed at all during the movie.
1	TheDiceman	65 _73rd
Entertaining.
1	nutcrackr	70 _38th
Most of the action was entertaining enough. The CGI in the opening scenes is awful. Attacking the minds of the Avengers was a good plot point that sadly didn't go anywhere. The farm interlude was ultimately ineffective with some atrocious dialogue, e.g. "I support your avenging". Spader's trademark sarcasm gives Ultron personality but it becomes ultra-annoying because there is so much of it.
1	cowfrappe	62 _36th
Fun but unremarkable; the universe may be getting crowded for Whedon to keep a hold on it.
1	angrypierre	79 _71st
There's an awful lot going on at times, and some of the action is a bit hard to follow, but it's really good fun. I particularly liked the development of Hulk and Black Widow's relationship. As comic book movies go, it was pretty good.
1	evrana	57 _21st
Looking at this, it is not possible to guess that one of the highest-grossing movies of all time will come from this series. As the whole basis of the thing is visual effects and star appeal, it stutters in every aspect. They used Quicksilver wonderfully in X-Men movies, here he and Wanda are just weak attempts at "foreign flavor". The way Ultron behaves does not make sense so much that my brain shutted down after a while. You want a powerful foe but not so powerful that his defeat is illogical.
1	bowfinger	30 _22nd
This is like eating too much candy, eventually you feel sick and just want to throw up.
1	Vassago	84 _89th
Not as good as the first Avengers movie and the Captain America Winter Soldier.
1	emtilt	37 _11th
Dull as hell. The non-CGI shots don't even feel like they were directed - just endless, mindless shot-reverse-shot so that what passes for characters in this film can deliver their boring lines so they can get to the spatially-incoherent CGI action shots as quick as possible. I don't even think that there's a narrative here beyond Avengers-do-Avengersy-things. So boring.
1	msprague	75 _74th
It's a summer blockbuster film. It can't be expected to have a good plot or make complete sense but then there are good fight scenes and stuff get's blown up and all so I can't really complain. It's a good summer film.
1	Snazz	80 _87th
James Spader is the most kick-ass villain (voice) as Ultron :)
1	recklessmess	83 _81st
These guys are dumb. If Independence Day taught me anything, it's that all you need is a computer virus and an old Macintosh computer to defeat an enemy such as Ultron. Also, why were Ultron's robots such pussies? At one point, these guys were getting punched to pieces. Seriously?
1	skiewulfy	50 _56th
Its sad to see such a fun movie get so bogged down by unnecessary elements. This sequel feels far more like an effort to expand business, then to deliver a satisfying followup to the first Avengers film. I'll be interested in seeing where this goes.
1	geohawk	80 _41st
Overstuffed. The action has such an unreal aspect that it makes the character moments seem unearned. It's still fun, but it's not clearing the bar set by some of the other Marvel movies.
1	Detox	44 _18th
Cool!
1	XakkMaster	55 _25th
It just never feels right. There's too much going on, too many action sequences...
1	TV+Film-Hub	16 _75th
Weak & Lost! There's too much for any part of this film to be good. They did rip a city out of the ground and try to drop it to earth like a meteor. But there really wasn't even a good fight sequence. Part of the problem is everyone's powers are so exaggerated, that they don't have fight scenes, just special glittery effects and death sequences. But glittery effects are not what got me to the theater! And if you even thought there would be acting or drama you're an idiot!
1	jordanlige	100 _51st
10 out of 10 very good movie lots of action
1	letskillrobots	14 _37th
Heath Ledger was pretty good
1	Beer94	68 _64th
Perfectly entertaining movie on a variety of levels but its length and a few other elements let this down. Whedon and Marvel films are a good fit though!
1	CosmicMonkey	68 _29th
Earth's mightiest heroes gather together to fight... one of the MCU's least compelling villains. Whedon has a gift for writing dialog and the banter is still witty, but none of it ever creates interesting character arcs or a servicable plot.
1	nauru	68 _71st
Good sequel with nice character development for Hawkeye and Banner. Overall not as good as the first film, due to a weak villain, insufficient action, and not enough use of the banging Avengers theme song.
1	aney	45 _48th
I'm just so fucking sick of superhero movies...
1	CarsonWid	70 _57th
A perfectly adequate chapter in the MCU timeline, but also one that never pushes any boundaries or really wows me in any way. Too many things crammed in for the casual fan to keep up with, and at the same time very little suspense left for the fanboys. Feels like a movie with good production value but little identity.
1	Jazzaloha	58 _25th
Like other Marvel films, this one suffers from cramming too many characters/storylines. It was like the LOTR triology condensed into one film. The filmmakers did a pretty good job of this considering the challenge, but it wasn't enough. I was largely indifferent to the characters, action and climax. I did like the concept behind Vision, though. ps62
1	shalev	74 _24th
Explosions porn.
1	Firewalker	95 _94th
Really liked it. Just couldn't get "The Avenger vs. The Blacklist" out of my head :)
1	Amygo	4 _14th
It has its moments, although it feels more of the same. The development of some relationships is interesting, and the newly-added characters fit in and break some of the monotony of the all-familiar cast. On the other hand, the action is too derivative from the first Avengers, and Ultron feels like a poorly developed character, as the dialogues indicate that he was supposed to be much more fleshed out, probably being more ambiguous than straightforward evil.
1	mandy	4 _6th
To the casual viewer the intricacies of the story make no sense, the one liners sometimes fall flat but otherwise fairly enjoyable dumb nonsense.
1	Kingjohnbbq	60 _12th
I loved Ultron. More Ultron is what I wanted. Instead I got a lot of poorly placed dialogue, odd backstory with hawkeye(what the hell was that about? why do I care that he married the girl from freaks and geeks?) and aloof actors who seemingly don't give a shit anymore. please stop quipping when the world is about to end, those jokes were SO bad. theres a psychotic robot plotting to end humanity, act like you care guys. this whole film was filler for the next set of marvel movies.
1	d_r_e_s_	3 _65th
A fine sequel with great visuals and entertainment value, however a poor villain and too many hero characters makes it an uneven mouthful. That said; I expected less and came out entertained. *Good
1	metz	40 _34th
All is kinda ok but not really engaging. You know that there might be something off when you truly enjoy Hawkeye's parts in an Avengers movie.
1	DaWolfey	75 _93rd
They're just pretty good films! It might have been better if they had played up the fact that the Avengers had been manipulated (both by Scarlet Witch and the bigger picture stuff going on), because Stark just going headlong into using Ultron didn't seem remotely out of character when I suppose it should have done?
1	misterlizard	60 _61st
Whedon's admirable desire to tie up everything into a coherent story is stretched to breaking point here, with so many threads and characters to keep track of. The MCU is becoming too intricate for a non-comic person like me. I just couldn't buy Ultron as a big bad. Whedon's snappy dialogue works well in the right setting, but hearing those lines from a supposedly omnipotent AI just didn't click. But still, it's a big budget spectacle directed by someone who knows how do to it right.
1	Matthew Parkinson (CineMarter)	75 _84th
The magic of Disney is alive and well, and it has permeated the MCU and ensures that each new outing is a fun time. Avengers: Age of Ultron continues that trend by delivering an incredibly enjoyable movie that's stuffed to the brim with content and delivers highly entertaining action scenes, fun characters, snappy dialogue, and a great time at the movies. Does it live up to the first film? Maybe not, if only because it's not as fresh. That doesn't stop it from being a must-see for MCU fans.
1	Jerky	70 _89th
Almost as good as the first one. Nice to see some side characters from other films show up.
1	Clark Nova	29 _12th
They make Black Widow serve drinks at her own victory party???????? SMFH!
1	Scorpus	70 _41st
Avengers: Age of Ultron is good without being amazing, and doesn't live up to the original
1	Daph_NL	53 _49th
I expected a little less and that is what I got. Age of Ultron relies a lot on CGI and special effects, that the story itself gets overwhelmed by it. Not to say that this one isn't entertaining, because that is not true. It just isn't anything special. 53/100.

Of all the "Buffy" episodes Whedon could conceivably have turned into a 2 1/2 hour actionfest, "I, Robot... You Jane" wouldn't have been my choice. And seriously, Paul Bettany, have some fucking dignity, man.

That ending battle was dull dull dull. You know a movie's bad when you start thinking of your mortality. I wasn't expecting going in seeing a brilliant performance from the villain, and I left not remembering anything notable about it. Something rubbed me wrong about the whole Hawkeye's family scene, but it was a sweet moment. The most interesting character for me in this is the Hulk, though. He's continuously entertaining and gives a real sense of danger to scenes. Hoping for another solo movie

This film is another enjoyable ride by the director Joss Whedon. The new characters are interesting and the old ones still work. There were some funny lines and a lot of exciting scenes. I would definitely recommend this movie.

Beklediğim gibi Marvel aksiyonun yanına komediyi çok iyi serpiştirmiş ki bence Marvel filmlerinin en iyi noktalardan biri budur. Romantizm katmak pek akılcıl olmamış ama diğer taraftan Hawkeye'ın Hawkeye olduğu film olarak hatırlanacaktır heralde.

The Avengers is starting to show its age. I didn't like this movie nearly as much as the first. A lot of the scenes felt like they were ripped straight from the last one and Age of Ultron was missing one important member of the Avengers, humor. That's what I liked about the first film, it made me laugh while it also had some alien butt-kicking scenes. This movie hardly made me laugh at all and had some really awkward romance scenes between the Hulk and Black Widow... [Full Review]

I watched this movie with very low expectations, but it was fun, the story is shallow but the action sequences are entertaining. It feels like a park ride just there to entertain and nothing more, in that sense is accomplished, but is really boring seen most mainstream movies just going for that.

Everything is bigger in this sequel to the first "Avengers" just like people say about Texas in general. The question,however, remain in its dramatic value. Surely, it has not run out of perfectly time comic humor in every 30 minutes pause. The visual is of course more grandeur than any other marvel superhero movies in order to maintain that amicable sense of epicness. Somehow there are some inconsistent and few logical fallacy. it doesn't affected neither of its shock or dramatic value.

Not funny dialogues, too long scenes, overall too boring to watch. And I usually love Avengers, Tony Starks etc. This was shit.
1	hotsake	65 _62nd
There is a lot going on in this movie but it all just seemed kind of pointless and dull to me. Every now and then there would be a good scene or piece of dialogue but for the most part I felt myself getting bored and reaching for my phone to play Cribbage. I guess what I didn't like most is that it all felt like a big filler episode instead of an action packed character driven story arc.

None of this makes any sense. Right. Now that we got it over with, the cast is spot on, the script is crisp and sparking with self-aware humor and the visual direction is a thing to behold (I liked the fights' choreography best). Like with the earlier installment - it's still a very well made film about nothing.
1	QtheAlmighty	82 _66th
The comic book feel of some of these Marvel movies is even starting to mimic the format a bit, example here. It's like another installment of Avengers 1. With that comes both "MORE AVENGERS" and but also some decay. Characters don't really develop much from where they last stood in Avengers 1 and there's just a lot of punching where I felt like maybe some explaining should go or some grey bad guys getting splintered when I wanted some one-on-one with the main villain. Overall, okay.

I'll be honest, I'm getting a little worried. I still thoroughly enjoyed this movie but you can tell they're starting to feel the weight of how big this cast/world is getting and every day I hear about a new addition to Civil War, which means it will be even more difficult to juggle screen time. It's busy, it's action packed and the new additions to the cast were decent. The put on Eastern Europe accents I could have done without, but you can't win every battle - unless your the Avengers.
1	Nepeta	40 _10th
Relentlessly paced to the point of being unpleasant, often incoherent (both in its plotting and in its use of space in action sequences), and containing all the contrivances. No character interaction can exist just for the sake of letting the characters exist, or grow independent of the ways the story wants them to grow in. Frustrating. Also, I get it Whedon, you can write cute one-liners. Here they're distracting and annoying though, not amusing.

I was so looking forward to the second Avengers movie! And now that I've seen it I can hardly remember what it was about. All I do remember is BOOOM and BANG... It's an action movie alright, but some more dialogue and comprehensible plot would've left more impression with me...

I really like to destroy this... Marvel. May I borrow Hulk for a second?
1	PluggedIN	70 _72nd
Just as Ultron himself is self-aware, then, the movie named after him exhibits a kind of self-awareness about its occasionally edgy content. Whether it's Thor revamping his statement about the Hulk's victims dying and going to hell, conversations about limiting damage to civilians, or banter about inappropriate interjections, Joss Whedon's script is full of winks that let us know that he knows exactly what direction criticisms are likely to come from.

Just a standard Marvel superhero film: fun to watch, lots of action; what more is there to say?
1	patman	68 _60th
Certainly entertaining although the boundless action sequences can turn unexciting. Felt better when it slows down and focus on the character and relationships as they do at the safe house. A few new additions, with Vision as the most promising character.
1	Catnip	70 _62nd
Oh, they didn't make it easy on me with this one. It had everything I love about the Avengers and Marvel movies in general - good humour, snarky heroes, even snarkier villains, loads of action scenes and really good cgi. But it also had way too many plots weaved into it at the same time. Like, who are the twins? Never explained. Why is Hawkeye suddenly married and where did this Banner/Romanoff thing come from?? Nobody knows! Where the frick was Falcon??? And so much more. You see my point here?

Age of Ultron is a worthy successor to the brilliance of its predecessor. Among its ups are its great cast, great treatmemt of minor characters (namely Hawkeye), and darker tone. Yet it has its bumps. While there are minor problems like tone inconsistencies and a lesser villain, Age of Ultron will be a fun time for new fans and fans of the original. Though its not better, its a worthy Marvel movie.

Nothing new.

"Age of Ultron" recaptures the exhilarating spirit of its predecessor that is comparable to a Saturday morning cartoon, but too often the fun was soured by cringe-inducing subplots, some that work to remind that this cinematic universe is steadily growing overcrowded.
1	Movie-Op	7 _56th
Avengers: Age of Ultron follows the same formula that every other film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe does, so you already know if you're going to like it or not.
1	jacobclark12	59 _45th
Age of Ultron is good. It's got good acting, writing, direction, and characters. Unfortunately, it suffers from the same bloatedness that The Avengers had but on a much larger scale. Believe it or not, if this film was longer it might have actually helped it flesh out some of its story more. It feels incomplete to a degree, especially in regard to Ultron, and its constant quipping makes the darker tone it tries to capture unable to take hold. That said, this is still a really enjoyable film.
1	Jimmy Suede	60 _26th
Poor effort here. Just throw a bunch of heroes together and expect people to keep surfing the Marvel wave. Well, I'm still on the wave it seems. I was reasonably entertained and to date it seems to be one of the few dips recently.
1	vv238	59 _62nd
It's really messy, even for an Avenger's film which features a dozen characters or more. The plot at the core is fairly strong, even if it ends up going in a very overplayed direction. The only problem with the fantastic cast is that everyone ends up sounding like Joss Whedon, which is probably on the script. Speaking of, boy is the script cluttered with unnecessary world-building that stops the plot dead. As a piece of a larger puzzle, it works great, as a stand-alone film, not so much.
1	brell	30 _35th
I will always enjoy watching a large cast interact and play off of each other, but you'd think the movie would take some time to develop the theme of 'are these militaristic super-powered beings capable of mass destruction who answer to no one good or bad actually' instead of going 'oh the guy who brought it up is genocidal' and 'here's many many minutes of smashing'. like damn ok boomer me but the older I get the less I care for fight scenes and wanton city destruction
