« There's little question that the hardcore Marvel fans will eat it up - seeing Iron Man in his Hulkbuster suit fight the Hulk is worth the price of admission alone - but you don't have to be a fanboy to enjoy Whedon's biting sense of humor, nor his talent for borderline-crazy action sequences. »
« Avengers: Age of Ultron succeeds in the top priority of introducing a worthy opponent for its superheroes and giving the latter a few new things to do, but this time the action scenes don't always measure up and some of the characters are left in a kind of dramatic no man's land. »
« That makes Age of Ultron Whedon's last Avengers hurrah. And the monumental battle between gods and monsters that he stages to end the film does him proud. Bravo. »
« It helps that the actors by now wear these roles as comfortably as second skins — an enviable model that those forthcoming superhero alliances, ''Fantastic Four'' and “Justice League,” can only hope to follow. »
« It may well be that we’ll eventually stop looking at these Marvel films as discrete, individual experiences rather than chapters in an epic binge-watch, but even by those standards, “Avengers: Age of Ultron” feels like a solid but overstuffed episode, one more concerned with being connective tissue than anything else. »
« Someone wants to destroy the world, but none of our heroes is ever in any jeopardy. With sequels already lined up for the next decade, how much danger could any of them be in? They’re too valuable to the bottom line. And where’s the excitement in that? »
« It's a shame to think that this film will be dog-piled for its imperfections rather than applauded for trying to prove that a seemingly inflexible genre can bend into strange and surprising shapes. »
« Cette suite généralement satisfaisante est plus sombre et complexe, mais aussi moins surprenante et jouissive que l'épisode inaugural, paru en 2012. »
« Avec beaucoup de grâce, d’élégance et de subtilité scénaristique, il laisse la voie libre à ses successeurs Anthony et Joe Russo, tout en ayant imprimé à l’univers cinématographique de Marvel sa touche si particulière. »
« En ce sens, Age of Ultron se regarde très exactement comme on lit un comic book – c’est-à-dire en sachant pertinemment bien qu’aucune conclusion n’est possible, que tout mène éventuellement à autre chose et qu’il y aura dans toute cette offre pléthorique du bon comme du moins bon. »
« Les montagnes russes, concoctées par Whedon et mises en place avec l’aide des 5 000 personnes environ du long générique final, procurent donc un amusement vite oublié. »
