What are the thoughts on Ultron? I've heard multiple people say he was a letdown after his portrayal in the film didn't match the tone and gravitas in the trailers.

Opinion?

Spader's alright in the role, but Ultron feels like he walked right out of a 90s Batman movie. One of the safer ones.

What relationship? It was complexity one-sided and largely un-reciprocated.

I've seen the movie and can confirm that that did not make the cut.
Yep. There's even a video showing how the fake was made.

Erm, did we watch the same movie?

It's called companionship.

Clearly not, because you called it "awesome"

Seriously, 72% on RT? It deserves much more than that! It'll be interesting to see how it changes once the US has it.

Its ok. Nothing to write home about. Ultron is kind of a joke. With all the jokes.

Fun movie. Thats about it. Which is kind of bland.

ultron got watered down toward the end... the black widow and hulk thing was alright more ehhhhhhh than tolerable... a little to much jokes throughout... ultron could've been way better...

but anyway the good parts were really good... the bad parts were alright...

not a horrible movie, but a good one with great moments...

if winter soldier is a classic than this film is a slight step down...

I kind of have to agree with most of the thoughts on the movie. It's good but not great. To be fair, the first Avengers is going to be a very hard act to follow and this is a different movie compared to the first one. It's definitely a smaller scale movie which isn't a bad thing. There are not a lot of "wow" moments like the first Avengers had. It's worth seeing but don't go in with high expectations.

Just got back from seeing it. I liked it. It was a good film, not super awesome but good. Loved Vision and that he's able to hold the hammer. *lol*

Hawkeye having a wife (oh hai there Velma. Left Mystery Inc did ya?) and kids was a big surprise!

The relationship between Bruce and Natasha was...different. Had a feeling there'd be no way they'd be able to be together (which is why Bruce went to who knows where).

Good to see Nick Fury again!

I wonder tho. Now that the Avengers have that training facility in upstate NY, will we see it in AOS?

Didn't like it as much as the first one but still enjoyable especially since they put two of my favorite Avengers in the film (Scarlet Witch & Vision).

I really hate the way Whedon writes Cap too.

Finally saw the movie, Thought it was great.

Spoiler:
Quicksilver dies

There is no after credits scene, But a mid credits scene, Which is Thanos putting on the Infinity Gauntlet.

Plus we will have a new team of Avengers in the 3rd one, I believe its Falcon, The Vision, War Machine, Captain America, Forgot who else?

I enjoyed the movie to a great amount and most of all Ultron x3. He appeared so human like and vulnerable, it was really awkward but at the same time adorable. I liked every scene of him and was delighted that he got so much screen-time.

For the rest of the cast, i liked the Scarlet Witch but Quicksilver was kind of meh, i couldn't really get myself up to like this guy.(maybe because of the accents, they were really...ugh).

I haven't seen the first Avengers movie so i can't compare these two with each other but for me it was an awesome movie with awesome 3D effects

I'm confused by this post. Did you really just summarize the ending even though the movie has been out in places for over a week? I don't get it.

And there's a 0% chance that's the lineup for Infinity War.

Now that we seen Age of Ultron, I would like to know.

Who was the better Quicksilver? Age of Ultron or Days of Future Past?

I do like that one scene in Age of Ultron when.

Spoiler:
Quicksilver tried to grab the Hammer, And is just being thrown with it.
