	Media	Author	Review
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"The box-office superheroes return, a bit less powerfully. (...) this time the action scenes don't always measure up and some of the characters are left in a kind of dramatic no-man's-land."
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Exhilarating cavalcade of fun. The follow-up to 'The Avengers' may be the harbinger of a new deluge of superhero movies, but if all turn out as entertaining as this one, what’s the problem? (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
		Scott Foundas Variety	"The most successful superhero movie of all time gets a super-sized sequel with surprising amounts of soul. (...) Joss Whedon brings a looser, more inventive and stylish touch to this skillful follow-up"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"You don't have to be a Marvel geek to get with the vibe. In this sequel (...) Joss Whedon achieve world box-office domination, the movie swings for the fences, going darker and deeper (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
		Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"A great cast with truly spectacular special effects - but ultimately a very choppy and unwieldy affair. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"A sometimes daffy, occasionally baffling, surprisingly touching and even romantic adventure (...) It earns a place of high ranking in the Marvel Universe (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"Where the first Avengers had a giddy, almost innocent, exuberance, this next chapter feels bogged down by darker elements and an excess of cast members (...) [However] the spectacle is substantial (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Whedon and his large, capable cast (...) deliver enough adventure, laughs and flat-out spectacle to ensure that audiences will feel as if they have gotten their money's worth."
		Tom Huddleston Time Out	"At the heart of 'Ultron' is a simple, even derivative plot (...) [It] is still a Joss Whedon film, packed with all the pathos, snappy action sequences and pomposity-puncturing one-liners we expect. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"'Avengers: Age of Ultron' is Proof We Don't Need More Avengers Movies. (...) It looks great, but haven't we been here before? (...) lacks any semblance of an attempt to surprise audiences"
		Emma Dibdin Digital Spy	"If 'Age of Ultron' is less cohesive than 'The Avengers', it's also more ambitious and rich in personality, affording each Avenger the chance to develop (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Joss Whedon Lets Functionality Overwhelm the Fun. This sequel has its share of thrills and laughs, but you can feel the requirements of franchise empire-building weighing it down"
