Here are the first batch of "not-so-good" twitter reactions for Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age Of Ultron. There's plenty more to be found via sites such as Twitter, but here are a selection of those from some of the most honest reviewers. So far, it would appear that there is a significant drop in quality for the comical franchise, with the majority of reactions praising only the action sequences and special effects.

AGE OF ULTRON: Liked, didn't love. A lot more bleak than the first. Excellent banter, great action, SO MUCH HAPPENING.
— Ben Pearson (@benpears) April 10, 2015

Avengers: Age Of Ultron is bigger, more complex, darker, more action packed than the first film, but ultimately not as much fun.
— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) April 10, 2015

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON: Way, WAY, way too many characters & way too much going on. Marvel's answer for Spidey 3? i may have had a seizure..
— David Ketchum (@KetchumAtMovies) April 10, 2015

I swear, AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON is one big advertisement for CIVIL & INFINITY Wars. Whedon steps into @Jon_Favreau Iron Man 2 territory here

Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Cobie Smulders, Don Cheadle, Paul Bettany, James Spader, and Samuel L. Jackson and hits cinemas on May 1st, 2015.

When they say it's not fun....that means it's Like Cap2 or TDK....which means it's gonna be to my liking..

Brainiac13 - 4/11/2015, 1:30 AM

Too many characters worries me.....Marvel's answer to Spidey 3?

imthedoctor - 4/11/2015, 1:33 AM

Um, these tweets were already featured in that "First Reactions" article.

kinghulk - 4/11/2015, 1:37 AM

i wouldent worry about david ketchum's comments he didnt even like GOTG, and before the prevuiew thing he saw he posted something along he lines of "great now i have to go and see avengers" he doesent seem to like marvel films.

kinghulk - 4/11/2015, 1:49 AM

wow nomore calm down our feeding this guy i meant dexter

Kurne - 4/11/2015, 2:06 AM

Firstly, JCamer0n.

Secondly, I have seen these. They were troubling at first because I'm a brat, but besides that Ketchum grump (who hated Days of Future Past and Guardians might I add), most of if not all of them are complaints of the film not being [as] fun. I'm slightly disappointed, but then I get confused by those same tweets along with the positive ones that claim it's still bigger! more fun! action!, etc....

I'm confused.

loki668 - 4/11/2015, 2:19 AM

All I had to do was look at the author of this "article" to know that it was absolute bullshit. There are playful trolls and there are asshole trolls, I'm still trying to figure out which side of the fence this guy falls on.

TheEpicJuicebox - 4/11/2015, 2:20 AM

I hated the fact they "killed" off Thor just to set up Ragnorok

Cruel - 4/11/2015, 2:21 AM

"but here are a selection of those from some of the most honest reviewers. So far, it would appear that there is a significant drop in quality for the comical franchise, with the majority of reactions praising only the action sequences and special effects."

If jCameron is being a troll like this for AOU I what's Dexter gonna do when BvS comes out?

Food for thought.

@TheEpicJuiceBox

DUDE!
SPOILERS!

I hope your joking or I'm getting the CIA, NSA and YMCA on your ass

loki668 - 4/11/2015, 2:23 AM

I'm starting to wonder if JCameron secretly wants to be like Dexter?

Cruel - 4/11/2015, 2:27 AM

What if?

They're a couple?!

ScottishSummers - 4/11/2015, 2:30 AM

3 opinions does not warrant an article

TheEpicJuicebox - 4/11/2015, 2:31 AM

@CIAGuy hahahaha I'm kidding buddy I can see it happening though

Cruel - 4/11/2015, 2:36 AM

@TheEpicJuiceBox

I can see it happening aswell.
Thor needs to get his, he's become pretty much the slapstick character, I've already seen Cap become a badass in TWS I'm losing my hope for Thor, everytime I watch Vikings that hope slips away some more.

If I don't get badass(and maybe Odin Force Thor in Ragnarok) I seriously give up on the character in the MCU.

Demiurge - 4/11/2015, 2:44 AM

This is actually good news to me. Means the movie spends less time trying to make people laugh, and more time telling an actual story. Why do some people believe that for a movie to be "fun", you have to have jokes every five minutes (and therefore that " serious" isn't "fun" ) ??
Write a few jokes when the moment calls for it. Otherwise just focus on telling the story. This is supposed to be an action-adventure CBM, not a comedy.
More on the CA:WS side than on the GotG.

TheEpicJuicebox - 4/11/2015, 2:45 AM

@CIAGuy I know every avenger has had a badass moment except really Thor he's more of a unintentional comedic character hopefully he's over hauled in Ragnorok or even AOU but it seems that he gets manhandled by ultron in the latest tv spot

Demiurge - 4/11/2015, 2:47 AM

And by the way, GotG is a good movie. But it lacks focus, and often sacrifices necessary tension for extra levity.
