NON-SPOILER
Age of ultron is the culmination of everything marvel has been doing for their phase 2 of their cinematic universe as well as the last time we see Joss Whedon helm an avengers movie (for now atleast). Is it everything we were hoping for though?
AoU is mist definitely darker than the first one, but still has those comedic interactions between characters. There isnt any point where jokes fall flat or whete character interaction isn't well done - the only exception here being the black widow-hulk romance which felt organic in the first movie and extremely forced in this one. There's alot foreshadowing for civil war, Thor 3 and the upcoming Black Panther movies. There are more than a few instances of convenient writing which may or may not bother certain movie goers but for the most part the pacing of the movie is much slower than the first movie.
Ultron the big bad in this film feels more of threat in this movie than loki did. James spader does a wonderful job bringing him to life and the translation from his comic version is done quite well but those who aren't fully privy to Ultrons character from the comics may or may not fully understand his reasoning for his actions as the movie doesn't really do the best job of truly explaining them.
The 3 new avengers we get in this movie being Vision, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are all brought to life quite well with Scarlet witch getting the most development.
The original cast don't really get much development, outside of simply setting up thier future films, with the exception of hawkeye who really came into his own in this movie but it can be argued all the development we need is in the stand alone movies.
In the end this movie has more interesting story and villain with more interesting new characters as well but it lacks the fun of the first movie.
AoU is a movie that delivers in almost all its aspects it has great acrion, comedy you feel invested with most of the characters. This movie is a must watch for all fans and this movie does deliver in its promise of an new age. An age of New Avengers.
