I give Age of Ultron a 7.5/10 while I give the first Avengers a 9/10.
[b]This "review" will be full of SPOILERS![/b]
Now, let's begin:
[spoiler]Things I liked:
Action was great, core Avengers was fine, I liked Tony and Banner working together in the lab, Vision was nice, some of the humor is good. IE "I could shoot him and nobody would know" etc. I liked QS and Scarlet Witch. Hulkbuster v Hulk was best scene in movie IMO "Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, I'm sorry". Party scene was great and showed each character's main personality. Vision giving Thor his hammer was unexpected and nice. It was good that they gave some character development to Hawkeye since he didn't really do much in Avengers 1.
Things I didn't liked
The movie felt rushed, Ultron was created and then all of a sudden he was bad.
Nick Fury shows up out of nowhere in the barn, I thought that in the end of Iron Man 3 Tony said that he was going to retire, and they took the reactor out of his chest but at the beginning of AoU, he's back with everybody else. Hulk/Black Widow romance didn't work at all. Some of the humor also didn't work "Beep beep", "If I could throw up I would," "For God's sake" etc. How come nobody mentions QS after he dies? Scarlet screams and Hawkeye stares at him then never mentioned again. Thor goes into the pool sees some vision of the future then its over like it never happened. How come Vulture/Falcon was at the end but he wasn't in the movie at all? What was the point of keeping Black Widow in the jail, why didn't Ultron kill her? Ultron just also seemed weak and had too much humor, IE On the bus versus Cap. Even though Tony created this whole war, everybody at the end was all nice to each other and Tony I guess is not responsible for his actions. Also, where was Loki?[/spoiler]
I'll probably think of more stuff and edit this later, but that's the main idea of my thoughts about Age of Ultron.

-
Falcon/Vulture was at the party in the beginning
-
Never even noticed him.
-
They do mention QS again... Hawkeye named his son Nathaniel Peitro Barton....

Edited by Hayabusam60: 5/3/2015 2:29:18 AMYeah, but that's it. Nothing else, no funeral (same thing with the last Hobbit movie.) But maybe in both of these movies will have funerals for the characters that died in the extended editions. (I'm certain there will be one for Hobbit but AoU, I'm not sure.)
-
Ya i hope there is a good seen in the hobbit that has funerals

Edited by jj1042: 5/2/2015 8:12:42 PMThese are all very true. However, one thought that I had was: "How come Scarlet Witch and Vision didn't die? They were on the rock when it was vaporized..." But, it did feel like some story arcs were forgotten and dropped altogether.
-
Vision grabbed her and flew out
-
Oh. I see.
-
I can't disagree with you.

Edited by Hayabusam60: 5/2/2015 4:29:43 PM¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Joss said that his original cut was over 3 hours long. In this movie, some stuff did feel left out. Joss said that he filmed some stuff with Loki, but couldn't fit him in etc. Would like to see extended cut.
