I'd watched this movie in theaters, but I don't remember a whole lot. I do remember the floating city and a new Avenger but that's about it. It did have a lot of action and good special effects and some new characters. Plus the original cast came back for more. I don't know if I'll see it again but it was decent for what it set out to become. It's no Dark Knight though.

When I saw this movie for the first time, I liked it but I wouldn't have given it a 10. After watching it a few more times, it has become one of my favorites. They bring all the characters together, plus a few new comers, and pit them against a pretty decent villain. I'm assuming that's one of the reasons the movie is getting some hate but I think he plays a good enough villain for not having any set up prior to this movie and requires the need to bring the whole MCU together to fight this great threat.

Being a disappointing sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron isn't all that bad. It's character interaction is good but not as good as the first, and it's characters themselves are mostly successful, but it's enough to fully buoy itself out of it's bad villain, forgettable action, and familiar plot points. The only character interaction that didn't work at all was the evolved relationship between Bruce Banner and Black Widow. When they talk to each other you're only eating for them to stop instead of listening to what they have to hear. Everyone else works good even though what they say isn't as memorable as in the first Avengers, but what is one of the only memorable things in the film is Hawkeye, who plays a very important part in the story. He also builds good relationships with the two new twins Wanda and Quicksilver, and grounds the rest of the heroes near the middle of the film. Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver are fun new additions to the team who each have an effective power that doesn't go unneeded. The new addition who works the most is Vision, who is an intriguing android who may even be more powerful than the Avengers themselves. The movie is polarizing in the sense that the opening is poorly done and the third act is the strongest point. It definitely gets better as is goes on. The final fight lacks in good action but is rich in good character moments and some slightly moving moments. Through the rest of the film between the underwhelming action are spurts of good action that is cut off before it can make an impact. Which sort of summarizes a lot of the movie as a whole. The story touches upon some cool concepts, but doesn't to explore them enough. Which is also again summarized with Ultron. A villain who has a cool concept behind him, but is squandered due to his laughable facial design, his occasionally child like personality, and his seemingly conveniently inconsistent ability power levels. Overall, Age of Ultron is a big step down from the first, and it's strengths desperately climb out of it's weaknesses to be considered an okay movie. So I give it a 6.2
