Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2015)

(Only Avengers Assemble spoilers below)
So I had the night to digest the premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron and in a nutshell it's safe to say this truly is an epic sequel of massive proportions. (Before I go any further go see this in IMAX or the biggest screen available to you, but seriously spend the extra few euro for IMAX it WILL BE WORTH EVERY CENT)
The big question isdid it top the 1st Avengers??? Personally I don't think so, but it really didn't fall short by much at all.
This sequel does excel from its predecessor in terms of the Special Effects, Action, Character screen time and decent back stories for some characters anyway, yet the feeling of that overall suspenseful drama was slightly less apparent this time around rather than their 1st outing, for example they never give us that {Hold your breath moment} like in the 1st Avengers when Iron Man free falls back to earth after chucking the Nuke into the space worm hole and he was left looking like he is not coming back from this in one piece and BOOM the Hulk saves him or when Bruce Banner quotes "I'm ALWAYS angry" and went on to destroy absolutely everything in his path to help save the day. That just didn't happen to the same emotional scale as the 1st but don't worry that won't take away from the overall experience.
Joss Whedon done an amazing job giving all the Avengers their deserved screen time to show case their own skills and action sequences, Night Hawk shines in this one with some great one liners, Black Widow has a lot more screen time and the Twins make a great new addition to the franchise, Thor and Capt America are also show cased very well. All characters have upped the ante TEN FOLD!
The Hulk vs The Hulk Buster-(Iron Man) what can I saythis action sequence is truly something very special that can only be properly portrayed and appreciated in an IMAX theatre, it 100% lives up to the snippet in the trailers, the word epic simply doesn't cover it, IMAX BASS is positively tested here.
Ultron was brilliant as the Villain, a little rushed but still very well handled. I can't really go into anything here without giving spoilers away; James Spader was definitely the right choice for the role, his evil tone and general malice towards humans as Ultron is exceptional!
The Overall Verdict: The Avengers: Age of Ultron is yet another amazing Marvel feat that will satisfy all Marvel fans to the core, its only real competition is the 1st Avengers. You will be left mind blown and buzzed just like the 1st Avengers and believe me you DO NOT have to worry about rumours that the best bits of the movie have already been shown in the trailers that couldn't be any further from the truth. The classic Iron Man/Avengers humour has been ramped up in this one and is executed perfectly so prepare for Great Laughs and a Kick Ass, Cool, Action Filled, Blockbuster matched only by its predecessor.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron 9.8/10
The Avengers Assemble 10/10
The Avengers will return.
