Avengers 2: Age of Ultron.

I liked it. Guardians of the Galaxy was better.

It has some very funny bits. It has some exciting sequences. But I think there was too much there. As if the solos went on too long. And the story was very Whedonesque which could be a good thing or a bad thing. I'm going to say Quicksilver was the odd man out in the story lines, the only one without a bit.

It also needed more Hulk.

All that being said, go see it. It is fun.

I agree with Greg. These movies are concentrating on getting bigger, not better. GotG set the bar on how writing and character development can entertain just as much (if not more) than robots and explosions. [SPOILER ALERT] The Iron Man/Hulk stuff in the middle was way more entertaining because of witty banter, emotional expression and friendly intimacy than the big explosion stuff at the end.

The 3D stuff is totally unnecessary. I like iMAX for the big screen and monster sound system. Save the glasses for movies that exploit the medium, not ones destined for non-3D DVD/Blu-Ray watching.

I give Avengers 2 a hearty 'meh'.

I watched this on one of those tiny back-of-the-seat screens on my flight to Heathrow.  It was terrible on such a little screen.  The banter was amusing.  Downey and ScarJo were amusing.  But it just doesn't work on a small screen.
