Avengers: Age of Ultron
Stream
Rent & Buy
When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
What critics thought
A sequel that satisfies in the moment but divides on whether that's enough — admirers credit Whedon's personality and the ensemble's chemistry, while detractors argue it feels bloated, obligatory, and ultimately disposable. The central split is between critics who found its spectacle genuinely earned and those who felt it collapsed under franchise machinery.
“Although this movie is effective moment to moment, very little of it lingers in the mind afterward. The ideal vehicle for our age of immediate sensation and instant gratification, it disappears without a trace almost as soon as it's consumed.”
Kenneth Turan·Los Angeles Times
“Avengers: Age of Ultron plays like an obligation, a box to be checked off on a list before all parties move onto the things they really want to do.”
Scott Mendelson·Forbes
“Age of Ultron is a whole summer of fireworks packed into one movie. It doesn't just go to 11, it starts there. [Joss Whedon] takes a few wrong turns, creating a jumble when the action gets too thick. But he recovers like a pro, devising a spectacle that's epic in every sense of the word.”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“bigger, louder, and more disjointed”
RogerEbert.com
“Avengers: Age of Ultron succeeds in the top priority of creating a worthy opponent for its superheroes and giving the latter a few new things to do, but this time the action scenes don't always measure up.”
