Critics Consensus

Exuberant and eye-popping, Avengers: Age of Ultron serves as an overstuffed but mostly satisfying sequel, reuniting its predecessor's unwieldy cast with a few new additions and a worthy foe.

There is little in this film that is new, but that doesn't matter. The characters are still entertaining, the action scenes thrilling and near orgasmic, and the human relationships touching.

Several thrilling action sequences, a great many good jokes, and an unshakable sense that everybody is just going through the paces.

Joss Whedon set a higher bar with the first "Avengers" (2012) and tried, in many ways, to top it here. He got close...

4/5

I ate up the funny banter between each unique superhero personality. I loved the large-scaled action which seemed ripped straight from the pages of a comic book. I was interested in the future movie tablesetting.

Raising the stakes and swinging for the fences like a good film sequel should, Joss Whedon pays off the Phase 2 initiative with both a new level of groundbreaking effort and a continued dedication to the master blueprint of a grander big picture.

If there's anything really wrong with Age of Ultron, it's the degree to which it leaves you yearning for more.

The film delivers exciting action sequences, including the Hulk vs. Iron Man fight (Hulkbuster Some jokes didnt land well, making Ultron seem less meaningfull. Overall, its a solid Marvel movie but often considered weaker than the first Avengers film and Infinity War. If you enjoy superhero action and character moments, youll probably like it, but its not the best in the series.

Overstuffed and scattered, but a lot of fun. I feel like Avengers: Age of Ultron tried to be way too much. It has more characters than before, more jokes, more plotlines and more action sequences, but a noticeably shorter runtime, thanks to Kevin Fiege. It’s still a lot of fun, and the individual sequences are just as good as the first (if not better). It’s just a bit scattershot and rushed in the storytelling department.

An enjoyable installment with solid team dynamics and a strong introduction of Wanda, but weakened by forced character choices, an unnecessary romantic subplot, and a wasted character arc.

There’s a reason Avengers: Age of Ultron is often called the weakest Avengers movie. It still has a lot going for it—some great action, especially Hulk vs. Hulkbuster and the Sokovia finale. I also liked what they did with Hawkeye and Hulk. Ultron is a solid villain, but he really could’ve used more development. The biggest issue is how overstuffed it feels. There are just too many plots and character arcs, so some moments don’t land the way they should. Wanda and Pietro’s shift happens way too fast, and the Natasha/Bruce storyline lose it a lot of points. It also spends a bit too much time setting up future MCU movies. There’s still plenty of fun here, and parts of it genuinely hit. But it’s held back by trying to do too much at once.
