Didn't live up to expectation but was OK enough

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2015)

I was one of the first people to watch AoU when it was released in my country. To be honest it really didn't live up to my expectation. In the trailer we saw a powerful Ultron, powerful enough to break Cap's shield, defeat Thor... But the actual movie showed a different Ultron entirely. It couldn't even defeat Tony Stark. I think that most of the people bashing it were just wanting to see Ultron beat the crap out of the Avengers and a darker, more 'DC' version of the movie. But aside from that it was just genuinely fun and a good Marvel film. I mean what did you expect. It is a Disney film. So expect laughter, fighting, and a little bit of emotion. So to be honest if you could watch FF7 and have fun while doing so, AoU will be just as good or even better than FF7. It's not as good as the first Avengers movie in 2012, but it will be a fine addition to the MCU, a good opening to the Phase 3.
