Sam Jackson explains it all in this "see one, seen them all" episode of the Avengers. All the blurred mind-numbing action is broken up by undecipherable plot bits giving us a break to catch our breath.
The opening bits are funny because of their play on words...as silly as it sounds. After that we settle down into the ooh and aah CGI as Hulk rebels against Stark and the rest of the teams fights to prevent the destruction of the human race.
"Every time the Earth begins to settle God throws a stone at it. Believe me, He is winding up right now." Clever talk from Ultron referencing the Earth's evolutionary development. (How can you miss that.)
Is there ever a reason to talk about "acting" in a super hero movie? Okay, everybody was charged with being more dialog-clever while showing some regular-guy humanity. Mission Accomplished.
Being hyper-cynical I left 30 minutes before it was over. For all I know everybody got killed and we are destroyed. I'm sure somebody will fill me in.
Scarlett fans, she looked really hot during the early party scene and not so bad after that. Hulk is really a dillweed for not getting on that.
Have fun. Buy plenty of snacks but no bladder busters or you will miss part of the movie.

and the CGI from the robot.
Man this was a tiring mess of a picture. I know it's a fanboy picture but you still ultimately need a characterization. Some superhero movies have been pretty good because you sort of get to know their plight - they grow etc. But here you have cartoon characters with little to say and a bombardment of effects. Strangely this movie had a few stories that might be far more interesting on their own - the Hawkman as an ading hero with a family but suits up because he feels he must - that was on the right track - give me THAT story and you might have a much much better movie. But not a movie that will gross 187million on a weekend.
They could make a whole movie about Black Widow or even the new characters they introduced and then glossed over in 2 minutes.
The first one had some humour and tongue in cheek moments which was enough to have me give the second one a go - argh.
Fatigue is the word that best describes this thing. The characters seemed fatigued. The actors playing the characters seemed fatigued. The script was mostly pretty tired (although Ultron had a few good lines). The entire franchise seems fatigued. I was fatigued by the time this CGI spectacle came to an unsatisfying conclusion. But since new superheroes are created as if they came from catholic rabbits, we're just beginning.
I saw it - taking a gaggle of 14 year-olds for a b'day party-
Not really my cup of tea - but the action moved-
relatively predictable -
I agree Hulk missed out - but it is a set up for the next one-
There were some good lines - but the bombast was pretty loud...
Happy Listening
...Rolling Stone gave it 4-1/2 stars with cudos to Josh Wheedon who has directed his last Avengers film.
Said the Archer character is terrific.
maybe I will see it again. I found it tiresome.
