The film very dark,gritty tone and thematic elements but there are some humor that can light the movie
Vision may scared young audiences,
The death of [SPOILER] very sad to watch

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 a global adventure
Likes : To start with ive seen alot of reviews that are buyest giving this film a full 10 out of 10 from marvel fan's so let me be clear this is a fair & unbiased review of the film as it wasn't a perfect film im not going to let just because it marvel effect the way i review this film.
Joss Whedon hasn't done a bad job at making this film there are a few flaws in this film which i will explain in the dislikes, but as for the start of the film it throw you into a battle with hydra which has no build up which i assume this scene follow from the end credit of the first avengers which i thought could of had a bit of a build up to it but it wasn't to bad.
Cant believe they actual snouk the F-word in a 12A film but gladly follow by a funny one-liner from one of the main characters which i did find funny but i couldn't believe what i heard,the dose appeal to a mass audience that enjoys action and super heroes combine in to one film which is all good.
With the character of Ultron i actual was in-pressed with the way they brought him in to this film, although having his origin story change this wasn't badly executed.
The only reason why marvel screwed this up was because the original origin story of Ultron was from Hank pyms, which comic book reads know as Ant-man but because Ant-man wasn't filmed before this film they couldn't go with the origin story of Ultron so it had to be change which didn't seem off balance or out of place this was well executed in the film giving the character life.
Which James Spader done perfectly voicing Ultron, what the trailer dosent show you all to well is the way James gives this character its nature, its was like watching a child with a psychotic, mental, ideal, person hell bend on destroy everything so a master race could rise, that the way this character came across he actual was pretty menacing but he attitude just matched his way of looking at thing & look.
I did notice that there is something going on with Bruce banner (Mark Ruffalo) & Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson ) which had a bit of a spin in the film although felt something was missing about it, in certain part you do notice the atmosphere between tony stark (Robert Downey Jr.) & Steve Rogers ( Chris Evans ) you can see the civil war aspect coming between them which is a future film project for marvel which is clever implant in the film i did notice that.
Some of the banter is funny in places, but some times come across a little unnecessary for the scenes but you do find yourself laughing at them. Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) pull off a great performance as a woman with powerful magic you don't mess with along with the speedster her character brother Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver ( Aaron Taylor-Johnson) who dose have a few funny one-liners although most of his scene are C.G.I effects he dose a great job.
The Other new character that is introduced in this film Vision (Paul Bettany ) was a welcome addiction to the team, love the design of his look, comes across very powerful, there is a moment with him that had the dose have the whole audience thinking W.T.H moment with Thor which was brilliant executed scene in the film that even had me god-smacked because i wasn't expect it, as well as a few scene with Clint Barton aka Hawk-eye ( Jeremy Renner ) There is unexpected scene that was keep from the first film which made me a little puzzled but it was explain briefly which i liked otherwise it would would have been a plot hole.
Visual effect are & action in this film dose keep you attention on the film although a few scene are little slowed down this was to bad of a film, not perfect but still an OK film, but with a surprise end credit scene which most of the story-line in this film set up for the 3rd film.
Dislikes : Sorry but i need to saying this because most everyone complains about the use of C.G.I in film's, ive heard alot of people complain about the C.G.I in transformers saying it look fake, well im sorry to say this but Age of ultron use alot of C.G.I in visual effects that is very questionable.
Although the performance of Ultron is brilliant from James spader the C.G.I use is over the top for some of the scene, its come across a little fake in alot of scenes which make the character a little to unbelievable at time, the only part that actual look real was when you see himself which is seen in the trailer talking about not being worthy.
I feel some part of the film were showing crack in Joss Whedon directing as he been stretch to much with doing alot of other film's because its show in the story plot of this film which is over shadowed but visual effects & action, sadly if you take away these visual effect & action there isn't much story there which is a shame because this film is more style over quality story.
the other thing was i dispointed in is that Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch background isn't explain much other than the fact they were experiment on by hydra, i feel the story was lacking there as well as the other characters lack of humanity in there manors.
I feel Vision could of been in the film more as he's not in the film much.
Overall : Great visual effect, Good performance, Few questionable C.G.I effects, lacking in story but still a good film.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.7 out of 10 for story / concept.
