Stark creates the Ultron Program to protect the world, but when the
peacekeeping program becomes hostile, The Avengers go into action to try and
defeat a virtually impossible enemy together. Earth's mightiest heroes must
come together once again to protect the world from global extinction.
I for one am a big Marvel fan ever since I first saw X-Men: Days of Future Past in theaters with AB Trivia Team and Marvel's The Avengers on an airplane ride home from a vacation in Singapore. But now that I've recently seen the direct sequel to Marvel's Avengers after a recent plane ride home from a vacation in Beijing, Xi'an, and Qingdao, I can say confidently it's a movie I like but not truly awesome. Call it high expectations, but after seeing every Avengers movie along with most MCU movies it's pretty average out of the 23 MCU movies total.
I feel that the romance between Dr. Banner/Hulk and Ms. Romanov/Black Widow is unconvincing and seems out of left field. They clearly were better off as working colleagues like what I saw in Marvel's The Avengers. Ultron is rather unthreatening and aside from Pinocchio references, he's rather weird-and I did not mean that positively. I hate to compare him with Tom Kane, but I loved his acting in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and try as he might James Spader's take is not my cup of tea. I also struggle to find memorable music from this film's OST aside from the Avengers theme song.
I think I've complained long enough, there is indeed plenty to like about this movie. The acting is top notch, with Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Evans, Elizabeth Olsen, and SO MANY OTHERS! The action sequences are awesome with standouts to me being Hulkbuster vs Hulk, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch totally losing it after Pietro/Quicksilver dies, the final battle with the Avengers vs Ultron, and the prologue. And as always for team centered superhero movies, a lesson in working together with different people and for this one specifically, the notion that retribution of people who have murdered family members is great and terrible. There's also too many memorable one-liners to list here but I'll try:
-"LANGUAGE!" Captain America
-"You know...with the benefit of hindsight..." Ultron
-"That little witch is messing with you're mind. You're stronger than her, you're smarter than her, you're BRUCE BANNER!"-Iron Man
Whew, longest review I ever made! I hope this was helpful to whoever reads it and I wish you a good day.

As a long time fan of Marvel in movies, comics, and video games, I can safely say this is certainly one of the greatest of the MCU movies. It is certainly not as good as the first Avengers but it still has some absolutely amazing moments. While I admit Quicksilver was extremely underused I still loved his character nonetheless and I am glad that FOX did better with him in the X-Men movies. This movie was still great when it came to action. My father has recently been watching all of the MCU movies with me and after this one he stated that the scene where Hulk and the Hulk-Buster fought was "The most bad ass thing he's ever seen" and he was absolutely right. When my father gives a complement like that, it deserves it. But i would still highly recommend this movie and suggest you watch it as soon as possible.

I feel like since ive never seen an avengers movie that im way behind. Most people are obsessed with these movies but i for one never though of watching any of these because its not my kind of movie. Too many jokes in the beginning and its really no different from the first, i mean theres more to take in but it really wasn't that exiting. Im kinda exited for thanos and i got all hype at the end. Nothing big happened in the first 2 i feel like, no major deaths of things that will impact the avengers harshly. I feel like the next two are the main movies so maybe they will be better and more exiting. My parents were sleeping the whole time so its good that nothing important happened. Same story like the first, the second most expensive movie ever made, i mean the cgi in some scenes are terrible but im kinda used to because its an MCU film. Overall i thought it was OK and im kinda into the whole avengers thing now somewhat, i just never got the chance to watch any of these movies.
