When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
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.
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!
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Solid choreography and the storyline was pretty decent. I personally liked the first film better but this is still a good, fun watch.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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**
Cool seeing them all together again, even if I didn't massively enjoy it. It's good, nothing more or less in my opinion.
'Avengers: Age of Ultron' isn't too far off 2012's 'The Avengers', 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 - he still has a decent amount of moments, just not as many as you get in his individual films. All the others continue to entertain to an equally suitable level, I didn't overly like the characters of Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen but I also don't have any noteworthy negatives about them. The story between Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo didn't do much for me either.
With that noted, it is still an enjoyable ride through the 141 minute run time. The ending is intriguing, interested to see where that goes - I have a minor inkling about the mid-credits scene, given all the internet attention that has had - even for someone like me who knows very little overall.
