FYI, this is pretty spoilery. It solidifies a few plot points that have been floating around in rumor.

There's going to be a lot of punching and flying debris in this, so everyone beware.

Are you talking about Age of Ultron or your Cobie Smulders induced masturbation session?

Here's your medal. Christ.

90% on RT. the negative comments seem to resvolve more around superhero fatigue than any innate flaws in the film itself.

I liked this bit from the Craveonline review

It’s a gooey plate of nachos that shouldn’t constitute your whole diet, but is perfectly enjoyable for now, even when it congeals at the end into a wet, sloppy mess. So lower your expectations just a little bit and take a ride with Avengers: Age of Ultron. It’s not Marvel Studios’ best movie (by far), but it’s still a good time at the multiplex.

so its a Marvel movie

I thought they weren't doing an after credits scene?

that's somewhat how I felt about the first Avengers; sloppy but fun.

Sorry for the delay.

I'm gonna try to keep it spoiler-free.

It's a big, dopey comic book movie. In many ways, it's the biggest, dopiest and most comic-book-y Marvel movie yet, so it's a hard film to hate if you're into that. It's riddled with inconsistencies, gaping holes in logic, obvious plot machinations, egregious contrivances, nonsensical and overlong battle scenes, way too many knowing winks at the audience. It's about as messy and weirdly disjointed as Iron Man 2. It also seems to undo (or, in true comic book fashion, retcon) key character and story developments from Winter Soldier and Iron Man 3 (especially the latter), and sort of waves these inconsistencies off with throwaway lines. A lot of the dialogue is cheesier than action film since Troy. And a disturbing amount of the film is concerned with SETTING UP future events-- entire sequences that have no reason to be there except to tease things that are irrelevant to the plot of THIS film. It's nowhere near as "fun" as the first one. But there's something special about seeing these characters interact on screen. A lot of the fight scenes are dazzling. The international setting is great. There are really wonderful moments of humor, as well as some touching character moments. And Ultron is really fucking cool. Altogether a worthwhile superhero blockbuster: loud, obnoxious, kinda hokey, kinda cookie-cutter, kinda let's-set-up-the-next-installment-y (yes, I made that an adjective) but a rollicking good time.

MVP: Hawkeye.

As for this,
