Avengers: Age of Ultron

“A whole summer of fireworks packed into one movie. It doesn't just go to 11, it starts there.”

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone · 88

“Avengers: Age of Ultron is a sometimes daffy, occasionally baffling, surprisingly touching and even romantic adventure with one kinetic thrill after another. It earns a place of high ranking in the Marvel Universe.”

Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 88

“This is a movie that is almost exhaustingly large-scale, and Ultron's ultimate plan involves a crazy visual idea that Whedon makes sort of beautiful and eerie. It's got so much action that I'm going to bet some audiences go numb after a while. But in scene after scene, there are beats and stunts and poses that suggest that an army of comic book fanatics worked on this movie.”

Drew McWeeny, Hitfix · 83

“As usual, psychological anguish is a key element of Marvel heroes. Age of Ultron boasts a cast of actors that "serious" filmmakers would kill for, so the gravitas they're capable of conveying amid such outlandish fantasy is the franchise's stealth advantage.”

Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times · 83

“Whedon has more on his mind than he did in the last one. The Avengers seem not just contentious toward each other but weary, sick of their brutal responsibilities.”

Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer · 83
