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.

Action, good Fx and a "not-completely-absurd" story. The actors perform well and you can identify them very well with their characters ... but it is all old and without imagination.
I suppose nobody was expecting anything else, though ...

This is another one of those movies that you watch primarily for the special effects with you favourite super heroes slugging it out. It is a classical Hollywood product where the story is mostly there just as a vehicle for allowing the special effects team to do their business. As such it is a success.
The movie starts of with a display of action and the afore mentioned special effects with an attack by the Avengers on a bad guy stronghold. N…

**A long form review originally posted in 2015:**
I’ve just returned from two back-to-back viewings of _Avengers: Age of Ultron_, and I do not regret one bit going in for that second helping.
I lost my steam on the _Age of Ultron_ wagon at a very inopportune moment. About three days before it came out. I was so heavily anticipating it for such a long time, that I was actually much more excited to see this movie when it was still two months …

The fact that Joss Whedon was able to salvage some sort of coherent film out of all he was forced to cram into a single movie is quite commendable. But the sad fact is that Avengers: Age of Ultron is really just a run of the mill "bad guy wants to destroy the world for reasons" actioner that we've seen done better many times before.
Don't get me wrong. The movie's fun. The dialogue is frequently clever and humourous. And I really appreciated t…

Movie was great but felt like there was just too much action and fighting. The creativity of the choreography gets lost in the whirlwind of action and this I noticed most in Captain America's scenes. He does like a hundred different awesome things with his shield, but you don't have time to really take it in because you're already looking at Iron Man blasting 20 Ultron-bots to bits.

This is the movie where Captain America became my favorite Avenger. Sure he doesn't have monstrous abilities like Iron Man and Hulk, but to be holding his own on the same ground as them is just a testament to how great of a hero he truly is.
November 7, 2019
It has become a well-known fact that coming out with a sequel that's better than, if not on par with, the first one is an insane task. But kudos to Marvel for staying true to their colors with this sequel.

I expected more from Quicksilver. He would've been a great addition to the Avengers.
November 8, 2019
The thing that puzzles me is that in this film, Vision is presented to be a powerful hero, having the mind stone and all. But on the next films, he's become more of like a side character that just wasn't relevant anymore except for that little piece of stone on his forehead. Shame.
November 8, 2019
I'm glad to see that they found another role for Hawkeye other than being that one guy who seemed to be trying hard to keep up with the other more powerful heroes on the team. Now he's more of like the thing that keeps the team together and it suits his character well.

Avengers: Age of Ultron
I liked plenty of the stuff in it but it was pretty much the same as the first movie. Still a good watch though if you're not looking for anything serious.
December 23, 2019
The humor in this movie was not as witty as the first one. It felt too childish and cheesy.
December 23, 2019
Still good, clean Avengers fun though a bit messier. The first one was still better.
December 24, 2019
With the vast array of heroes and their own personal character stories, you can expect how much of a challenge it is to bring together all these superheroes and have them work on a single mission on a single timeline. It's not easy, experts.
December 29, 2019
I confirmed in this movie that what's really making these films successful is the chemistry that the actors have. You can really see that everyone's doing their best.
December 29, 2019
Strong film from beginning to end. Has just enough humor, angst, and drama to make it a film worthy to be called a sequel.
December 30, 2019
If you're a fan of action, suspense, and awe worthy moments, then this movie is the right fit for you! Overall outstanding performance by everyone both on and off screen.

Despite the challenge of having to top their first Avengers film, Marvel did beautifully and the result was amazing. I hope to see more films like this in the future.
January 2, 2020
I see a lot of negative reviews directed at the humor in this movie. All I can say is that Marvel, since the beginning, has used this same format for their movies so I don't understand why "fans" are now criticizing the banter.
January 2, 2020
Compared to the first movie, this one was much more fast-paced and had more action scenes in it. We don't see a lot of character development but it's still enjoyable!
January 2, 2020
Everyone else saying that there's not enough character development for the superheroes in this movie needs to remember the solo films for Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. Do you want character development? Go watch those movies.
January 2, 2020
I'm happy Marvel gave Black Widow and Hawkeye the spotlight more on this film. They needed the extra character development because the other three main heroes all had solo films to help them out.
January 2, 2020
This was clearly a level-up from their first film. Although much more action-oriented, the production value still screams Marvel and what I liked most is the refinement of the collaborative action scenes.
January 3, 2020
Not as good as the first one... because it's BETTER! Marvel really knows how to make it work and they're at the top of their game right now.
January 3, 2020
Plot line is far from the cliche superhero story. Scriptwriters did a great job inserting that original, witty Marvel humor in between scenes to dispel some of the seriousness that's usually accompanied in these types of films.
January 4, 2020
Both Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans really solidified their roles as the main Avengers in this film. Would love to see more of them!
January 5, 2020
Man this movie really got me hooked and now I'm part of the Avengers bandwagon. Count me in on whatever nerdy stuff you guys do.
January 5, 2020
Marvel is dominating the superhero film genre and it looks like they'll be sitting on the throne for years to come. How they make it work even with the huge amount of heroes they have is impressive. Hopefully this doesn't backfire anytime soon.
January 5, 2020
If you read the comics, you'll see that this isn't just another direct copy and paste of the storyline. Marvel is great enough to make some changes.
January 6, 2020
Solid choreography and the storyline was pretty decent. I personally liked the first film better but this is still a good, fun watch.
January 6, 2020
The only reason I can think of why someone would not like this movie is because they either have not seen the other films Marvel has released or they just don't understand how Marvel creates a film.
January 6, 2020
I found the writing in this film to be witty and sharp. The humor was on point and I laughed way more than I should.
January 6, 2020
Compared to the first Avengers, there's a lot of things that they improved on in this film. From the storytelling, to the much more defined fight choreography, it's definitely a step-up from the previous one.
January 16, 2020
Don't be brainwashed. This is just a remix of the first Avenger movie. Nothing new here except for the new heroes but plot-wise it's pretty much the same thing.
January 16, 2020
It's just what I feared. Marvel has gotten so caught up in making sure that each character gets some action time that there's no room now for character development. They need to tone it down a bit.
June 28, 2020
Third viewing of this and while not the strongest within the MCU, or of the other Avenger movies, still has some good parts (introduction to Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch and Paul Bettany's Vision; further setting into motion the infinity stones, New Avengers, etc) while the plot as a whole felt messy at times. Still, found it entertaining especially seeing where the MCU was going since. **3.5/5**
January 18, 2021
Cool seeing them all together again, even if I didn't massively enjoy it. It's good, nothing more or less in my opinion.
<em>'Avengers: Age of Ultron'</em> isn't too far off 2012's <em>'The Avengers'</em>, especially in terms of how I fell about it. I definitely wanted more from both, yet they are still satisfying superhero action flicks. I'd rank this narrowly below the aforementioned.
Robert Downey Jr. felt a little flat to me as Iron Man…

This is not a bad follow up to the first film. "Stark" (Robert Downey Jnr.) and "Banner/Hulk" (Mark Ruffalo) have a grand design to create a computer programme that will ensure peace on Earth for ever. Snag is, that programme hoodwinks "Jarvis" as well as both of them and turns into the rather menacing James Spader iteration of "Ultron" (yes, I too thought that was a detergent!). Anyway, "Ultron" concludes, not entirely unreasonably, that peace o… read the rest.
