Few sequels have had to endure the hype that plagued Avengers: Age Of Ultron before it was even announced and so, inevitably, the film didn't live up to everyone's ridiculously high expectations. Taken on its own merits though, Joss Whedon's sequel still stands tall above the majority of other comic book movies out there, featuring awesome new additions to the team, exhilarating action sequences and the first MCU villain to possess a personality since Loki first put on his pointy helmet. For such a widely reviewed film, 74% is a more than respectable rating on Rotten Tomatoes and once the dust settles, audiences will look back on Age Of Ultron as one of the most enjoyable MCU movies released so far. In an attempt to satisfy everyone, Whedon crammed a huge amount of detail into Age Of Ultron, some of which unfortunately hit the cutting room floor before reaching cinemas. As a result, certain scenes became muddled, including Thor's mini holiday venture to a cave. For reasons unclear, Thor takes his top off (no one's complaining mind you) and then takes a dip in a pool that gives him visions of Asgard. Upon returning to the rest of the team, Thor suddenly possesses the knowledge needed to deal with the Vision and stop Ultron... somehow. In the original edit, Whedon has explained that Thor would have been possessed by mythological entities known as The Norns, who would have explicitly answered his questions with clarity and detail. Apparently, the cave scene was included so Whedon could have the extended farm sequence, which may explain its messy handling in the finished film.
