Final score 6/10 and I am being kind since Cap is my fav Avenger and they finally gave him some good screen time.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. If you are after a darker, grounded and more moving story like the trailers promised, you will be severely disappointed. So as a summary, if you want mindless action and cool CGI, which this film does offer in the form of some spectacular visual fight scenes then you will like AoU. The villain himself, Ultron is another massive let-down in Marvels already growing catalogue of mishandled villains. There are a few completely unnecessary subplots in AoU and useless characters which do not impact the story overall.

Again, its not the fact that the film is 2.5 hours long or has too many characters, that isn't am excuse since The Dark Knight and Xmen DOFP shows how to navigate these theatrical obstacles. I watched Fast 7 around 2 weeks before AoU and I got similar vibes.

I won't say too much since this is a spoiler free review, but it really feels rushed and unorganised. The comic book films which achieved great success in this regard were XMen DOFP, The Avengers 1, Cap 2 even Dark Knight Rises! Can you imagine at the climax of Xmen DOFP if old Magneto and Storm and Bishop start pulling one liner jokes as the army of sentinels came charging at them? It would kill any tension! 2) The script.
If the characters seem so relaxed in not worrying about possibly dying, then what suspense is needed to be held by the audience? This plagued IM3 in a bad way and its arguably worse here. The timing of these moments of levity are horrible too, desensitising the viewer to any impending fear of death in battle. It's not limited to one character either, everyone is popping one liner jokes as if its the Expendables and yes, most are not funny. In AoU, its a constant, recurring and predictable theme. I like to laugh as I'm sure most people do, but there is a time and place to exhibit your comedy writing skills in an action film. The 2 biggest complaints I have with AoU is 1) the tone (comedy) 2) the script/writing. There are problems which strike you repeatedly as you progress throughout the film. To me, its essentially a carbon copy of IM3. That being said, my initial thoughts on Age of Ultron (AoU) are quite negative. I did not like the direction they took with Iron Man 3 (more on this below) or Guardians of the Galaxy but Winter Soldier was a gem in terms of balancing solid action, drama and levity. I hold the first Ironman, first Avengers and Captain America 1+2 in high regard. The comic book genre of films have made it to my personal top 3 favourite genres in the last decade and the MCU has been a strong contributor to that rise. Let me first start of by saying that I am not a Marvel ''fanboy'' or a DC nerd.
