One of the main reasons being, as Sean says, it gets going right away. And even the plot, while some stuff still being glossed over (like how is Tony Stark running the Iron Man suit after the surgery he had at the end of Iron Man 3) and just given a throwaway line before transitioning to the next scene, flowed better throughout the movie. The first one takes a while to get going, and that first 30-40 minutes just feels kind of boring with all the set up.

I don’t know, still a great movie for me. I can see myself seeing this a couple more times in its theatrical run.

It does help if you remember the previous Marvel movies and even watch the drastically improved “Agents of Shield”. There is a lot happening in this movie that would probably improve with a longer cut. It’s a little too CG-heavy and Ultron’s end master-plan could have been better thought out. A 3 1/2 for me now which may go up with a re-watch.

I think I liked it a little more than you but I agree that it’s hitting a lot of the same beats as its predecessor. And I was pretty underwhelmed by Ultron as a villain,

I liked the movie, and I enjoyed myself, but the best action bits were the very beginning, and I found I really liked most of the scenes of the characters just hanging out.

The endless waves of Ultron bad-guys just made my eyes glaze over. I think having these sorts of characters face off against a smaller group of bad guys would be a lot more satisfying. Every single bad-guy is either in the group of Unbeatable demi-God, or paper-mache minion.

I have no idea where Marvel is going to go from here though. I guess it could be fun to just go straight out galactic style heroes and have the big guns of the Avengers team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy to go after Thanos. But then, please, just end it after that. There’s a reason comic book universes go through a reboot every couple years, things just get too dumb and too bloated.

And based on the comments here I guess I feel justified in feeling that way. I will see it in a couple of weeks with my friends but like I said, I don’t feel any rush or need to see it opening weekend.

Also good review Sean. You definitely echo some of my sentiments/feelings about this Avengers installment. Going to see it but without the excitement or anticipatory enthusiasm of the first.

Didn’t think anyone would be offended by that on filmjunk in relation to a comic book character, but there you go. I guess I was mistaken. Now I thought of a nickname for the dude as well so it’s all equal and fair.
