"Avengers: Age Of Ultron," which is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, was shown in Australian, New Zealand and UK theatres on April 23, 2015. It was shown in the U.S. and Canada on May 1, 2015. The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Paul Bettany, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Mark Ruffalo, Cobie Smulders, Chris Evans, Elizabeth Olsen, Samuel L. Jackson and James Spader. Here is the "Avengers: Age Of Ultron" movie review including the best and worst moments of the film.

"Avengers: Age Of Ultron" was written and directed by Joss Whedon. It was produced by Kevin Feige. Its running time is 141 minutes. Its main plot is about the "Ultron" global defense program that Tony Stark/Iron Man and Bruce Banner/Hulk co-created which didn't turn out well. It targeted Just A Rather Very Intelligent System, or J.A.R.V.I.S. and planned to wipe out mankind. It didn't help that "Ultron" also teamed up with the Maximoff twins (Wanda and Pietro) to fight the Avengers.

It is linked to the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Season 2 episode “The Dirty Half Dozen” wherein Coulson (Clark Gregg) gave the location of the Hydra leader, Baron Wolfgang von Strucker (Thomas Kretschmann) to Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders). Raina (Ruth Negga) also had a vision of “men made of metal tearing cities apart.”

The film starts out with lots of fight scenes and it showcased the Avengers as a more efficient team than the first film “The Avengers” (2012). It was balanced with a few emotional scenes, lighthearted moments and funny lines. It was interesting to see Wanda and Pietro Maximoff fighting the Avengers in the beginning and then joining them to fight “Ultron” towards the end.

Below is a list of the best and worst moments of "Avengers: Age Of Ultron."

Critics' Reviews

“It's all operatically mad, and the city-destroying final confrontation is becoming a bit familiar, but Whedon carries it off with such joy and even a kind of evangelism,” Peter Bradshaw wrote on The Guardian. Bradshaw gave the film a score of 80.

Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter’s Todd McCarthy believes that the film deserves a score of 60 points. He also thinks that the action scenes do not measure up in the second Avengers movie.

Audience Reviews

“Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron gets straight to the point and straight to the action. For a film easily over 2 hours, there isn't a heavy dosage of solid storytelling. The plot details more or less hold the action segments together to complete the puzzle,” JY Skacto wrote on the Rotten Tomatoes website. Skacto gave the film four stars.

Josh Lewis says that "Avengers: Age Of Ultron" was disappointing because it was pointless and it felt hollow to him. He gave the film two and a half stars.
