This movie was disappointing.

Plot Spoiler contained here:

Not just b/c of the stupid physics of dropping a land mass at terminal velocity could NOT cause a mass extinction event, but b/c there was such poor editing done. At least 45 min of the movie was a waste of space and could have been eliminated or used as outtakes. Most of the one-liners were forced or out of place. The love romance between the Hulk and Black Widow had about as much depth and realism to Anakin and Padme in Star Wars.​

That said, the sound and visuals were pretty good so if you're looking for some wiz bang effects and mindless action sequences, then this is your movie.

Agreed. Its no where as good as the previous one but its a Marvel and there are times where mindless is good so I bought it.

Bought the Bluray/3D version, enjoyed the movie. Had to crank it to +4 and dont recall any 'sound' moments.

"but some may find themselves turning their home theater systems "up to 11" to gain a full appreciation of the film's often dense sound mix."

Avengers: Age of Ultron features a somewhat tepid sounding DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 mix that provides impeccable surround activity, but is surprisingly (to me, anyway) light from the midrange down to subwoofer territory. Amplitude across the board seems weirdly mitigated as well, with some effects failing to land with the requisite force. Whether this is an intentional approach or the result of someone not paying attention somewhere in the production chain is unclear, but some may find themselves turning their home theater systems "up to 11" to gain a full appreciation of the film's often dense sound mix. Those anomalies aside, the overall mix is quite enveloping from virtually the first moment, when the sounds of battle resound through the side and rear channels very effectively. Later effects, including some neat ping ponging and panning effects during Ultron's "awakening", and the rumbling climax, offer more opportunities for nice aural immersion, albeit with the same somewhat restrained feeling. Dialogue is rendered cleanly and clearly and is always well prioritized.

I run the sub 3db on the hot side and with this movie, I had to dial it back 6 db. It has a lot of mid level bass but there is one scene where Ironman in the big suit drags the Hulk through the dozens of stories of a skyscraper being built. When the building collapses, I found my heart skipping beats as its almost as low and as intense as the firt 30 seconds into "Live Die, and Repeat". I found it to be great soundtrack making good uses of all channels. The image was good too with lots of colors intertwined with dark scenes. It may not be as good as teh first Avengers but it still kept me entertained.
