RottenTomatoes Score: 81% (7.3/10), at the time of press Box Office: With a huge $250 million budget, Age of Ultron needs to hit the ground running, and its $9.5 million first-day international gross is a damn fine start. Given that 2012's The Avengers managed to pull in an insane $1.5 billion, it would be a huge shock if this movie didn't at least make $1.6 billion. The Verdict: Though Age of Ultron fails to reach the heights of the original movie, it's still a giant dose of goofy fun, filled with ludicrous set-pieces and uproarious banter. Those expecting the best film in the MCU might be a little disappointed, but if you were smart, you probably suspected Joss Whedon wouldn't be able to bottle lightning the same way twice. Above all else, it re-affirms Marvel Studios' meticulous approach to their world-building, and of course leaves plenty open as Phase Three kicks off with next year's Civil War.
