Joss Whedon wrote and directed Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel Studios' 2015 American superhero film. Following on from The Avengers (2012), it was the eleventh entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Following the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony Stark and Bruce Banner secretly create Ultron, an artificial intelligence designed to safeguard the planet. The project backfires when Ultron concludes that humanity itself is the greatest danger and sets out to bring about its extinction. Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye reunite to stop the rogue machine, while Nick Fury and Maria Hill lend support. Along the way the team confronts the powerful twins Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, who shift from adversaries to allies, and witnesses the emergence of Vision, a newly created entity.

The ensemble cast includes Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, with James Spader as Ultron. Filmed mainly at Shepperton Studios in England, the film earned over 1.4 billion dollars worldwide and was followed by Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019).

Through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

Six heroes, an artificial-intelligence villain and a plan to wipe out humanity: the scale is bigger than the first film, and so is the action. Reuniting the team brings the series' most loved element back to the screen, and the Maximoff twins switching from enemies to allies adds fresh colour to the fights. With all of humanity as Ultron's target, the stakes never shrink. For a Marvel fan, it is exactly the kind of spectacle you're after.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

The film's most interesting idea is that the villain doesn't come from outside: Ultron is an AI Stark and Banner secretly built to protect the planet, and its verdict that humanity is the real danger can be read as a critique of its creators' hubris. The script, however, finds no room to develop it. Forced to fit six heroes, Fury and Hill, the Maximoff twins and the birth of Vision into one story, Whedon is squeezed between character moments and franchise obligations. The result is a crowded, scattered middle chapter that lays the ground for Infinity War and Endgame; for those not expecting the first film's tidier shape, still an enjoyable show.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

An appealing superhero film for kids and teens. There is a lot of fighting and destruction, which may feel intense and loud for very young children. One more thing: the story builds on earlier Marvel films. Grown-ups who don't know the series may struggle to keep track of who is who. Watching the first Avengers beforehand makes it easier. Good for teens and families who love the series.
