Reviews on Rotten Tomatoes:

“I walked out of the theater feeling like the survivor of an all-you-can-eat buffet,” said Chris Nashawaty.

“It has a definite mid-season feel to it, telling a compelling but never game-changing story while laying the foundations for the epic, two-part Infinity War due in 2018,” said Tom Huddleston from Time Out.

“If this is what the apotheosis of branded, big-studio entertainment has come to look like in 2015, we could be doing much worse. Unlike its title character, "Age of Ultron" most definitely has soul,” said Scott Foundas from Variety.

“The movie's action sequences and sequel-baiting suck up much of its oxygen, and the magnitude of battles dwarf the smaller moments,” critiqued Jake Coyle from Associated Press.

“‘Avengers: Age of Ultron" is a kinetic, wicked mix of muscle and magic. Look no further if you want a world of superpowered freaks and geeks,” said Joe Neumaier from New York Daily News.
