I thought it was widely accepted at the time that it wasn't as good as the first and obviously not as good as Endgame or Infinity War.

It always was pretty meh. I've only seen it once whereas I've seen the other Avenger movies at least 3 to 4 times each

The movie has its good moments but overall I think Ultron was really wasted in the movie. He needed more buildup similar to at least what Loki got before his Avengers movie

I've always heard nothing but meh-to-bad reviews of it.

Anyway, it was ok I guess. Ultron was kinda funny but even with jokes that write themselves, they managed to make them fall flat somehow. But it was still a fun watch. People just hate everything these days. Or at least pretend they do on the Internet.

It was never great, but I think my opinion of it is actually higher now than it used to be when it came out.

I mean, most movies are. It's kind of what defined mediocrity.

Where they're all drunk and trying to pull the hammer?

I thought it was better than the first one. Having more characters was a massive plus too.

It was a bit of a letdown after the first Avengers. I enjoyed it a little more the second time I watched it but it's the weakest Avengers movie.

It's always been shit upon

Frankly, I think it's time people finally admit that AoU was better than Endgame. That's the actual hot take. That 3 > 1 > 2 > 4
Endgame was fucking shit

I think people near universally would have liked to see what the movie looked like before they "lightened it up" with more quips. The original trailer promised a much darker movie than we got.

This topic is proof AoU gets way more shit than it deserves.

That movie has aged like wine and I wont hear different

I enjoyed it enough. Weird choice to make Ultron like, crack jokes and stuff to really undermine the whole evil stuff, but I thought it was fine. As a teenager who was all aboard the MCU hype train at the time, it did everything I wanted from it.

All of the mcu stuff is either mediocre or bad except for a few exceptions.

Ant-man
Doctor strange
Infinity war
Endgame
No way home

They were great.

Doc Strange more like had an interesting ten minutes or so.

Then he gets to the monastery and it just becomes generic again.

Both movies are 'eh'. Avengers didn't really age well tbh. The dialogue isn't that great and I feel like it was the downward spiral for the franchise because it was just a bunch of funny one liners and seemed to greatly inspire every other MCU movie afterward so now everyone's a comedian.

Age of Ultron was good IMO.

James Spader killed it as Ultron. His first appearance is really menacing even though he's a cobbled-together broken bot stumbling around.
