Action-packed and plot driven.

Rating: 9/10 (18 April 2019)

Better plot than the first film, which I found to be generally good with impressive visuals and sound but a little predictable at times. Definitely better than the second, despite only marginally higher ratings here and elsewhere. Some didn't like the amount of time Tony spends out of the suit and dealing with the psychological fallout of the events of The Avengers and its impact on his relationship with Pepper, but I found this to be important character development in establishing his motivations in Age of Ultron. Some also didn't like the way the Mandarin was incorporated, but I found it overall clever and enjoyable. I won't say it's better than the first movie, but it's my personal favorite of the three.
