Avengers: Age Of Ultron is bigger, more complex, darker, more action packed than the first film, but ultimately not as much fun.

AGE OF ULTRON: Liked, didn't love. A lot more bleak than the first. Excellent banter, great action, SO MUCH HAPPENING.

While #Avengers felt like a bookend to Phase 1, #AgeofUltron definitely feels like a conduit of things to come. That being said, it rocks.

By all means @Marvel is still firing on all cylinders – was fun to geek out to Avengers: Age of Ultron – a highly entertaining follow-up!

AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON is loaded with insane action, great character moments, and funny dialogue. Joss did the impossible again.

Important to note AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON is a completely different movie than the first one. And that's why it works.

Yep, it was awesome. Sensory overload.

Big love for Avengers: Age of Ultron. Tons of fun, awesome action, and fantastic performances from all

#AvengersAgeOfUltron is darker, weirder and more emotional than the original. It's also the thrill ride to beat this summer.

Avengers 2 is both an amazing sequel and a fantastic setup for the rest of the MCU. So nerdy in the best possible way.

— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 10, 2015

Also, the usual Avengers supporting players stand out this time. Black Widow kicks ass and Hawkeye has the best lines.

Whedon stuffs Avengers Age of Ultron with an impossible amount of great geekiness. Sometimes it feels like too much, but he pulls it off!

— Kevin P. Sullivan (@KPSull) April 10, 2015

Avengers 2 is way more fun and great than the trailers let on.

Again, we'll keep updating this space as more reactions come in throughout the evening. Keep it here.
