It's a baffling plot but the notions of predestination and scientists going too far with their knowledge, are interesting. The burden of having to cater to the demands of Marvel Universe fans - featuring so many characters - is a testament to the writers and the director. It's a noisy actioner but compact and Downey Jr's mousetrap fast witty repartee is entertaining and there is good support from the likes of Paul Bettany this time round. Those unacquainted with the film series will not get its full effect from the limited backstory given. It runs a bit too fast in parts too, in particular the disposing of people seems a bit like tossing garbage in the bin which is seems tiresome even after the first 5 mins. World saving is also a well trodden storyline, but most of the film's budget (the second highest in film history) is there to marvel at.

A clear step-down from the first, 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron' is for the most part a mess. The characters aren't as well-written as the first, the pacing is poor, the story is pretty generic, and the film's action isn't even all that entertaining. On the flip side, the villain is unique, there are some good character moments and the inclusion of Scarlett Witch makes for some interesting scenes. However, these things can't elevate this film to more than 'good enough'. It's definitely not terrible and it's adequately made, but it just feels as if something is lacking to make us care more about the plot and characters. The film is certainly watchable, but it does nothing special to set it apart and therefore ends up being only a little more than average. There are worse superhero films out there, but considering that this is an 'Avengers' film, it can't help but feel like a let-down. 6/10

The ambition of Tony Stark is well illustrated in this film. They should have showed how they discovered how to turn Hulk to Bruce Banner with Natasha Romanof. The attitude of Scarlet Wich and her brother change drastically at a moment but the reason is weird. It happens just like that.

Pure ,Unadulterated, and True vision of what superhero movies should be. The heroes come off the page so well in this second film featuring the Avengers. After the first one which was mostly introductory and formation, this film offers the Avengers in their prime and flourishing as a team. Because the cast is so big, each hero (and villain) gets adequate time to shine and really develop in this film. Especially Hulk and Black Widow. Ultron is a believable and entertaining villain upping the stakes as the film moves forward. Joss Whedon is here to stay, his direction and vision for the MCU is without a doubt unbeatable. Cinematography and SFX were flawless and the scene where each member of the Avengers attempt to pick up Thors hammer after a night of partying will stick in my memories for a long time. The plot really sets up well for future installations of upcoming Avenger members and the 3rd installment Infinity War. Not much more can be said about this movie to protect you from spoilers.
