‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Poster

At risk of sounding too hyperbolic too soon, Avengers: Age of Ultron might be the best movie Marvel has ever made. As a sci-fi flick, it’s got some faults. There’s a lot of action and director Joss Whedon doesn’t leave enough pauses to process it all; it provides little backstory, so newcomers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe might get confused without context; it’s much darker than Marvel’s previous installments.
