Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

This movie fell a little short compared to its predecessor. There were a couple of parts where it felt a little too cheeky. Tony had moments that just didn’t feel quite right considering his past arcs. I still love the movie and how it introduced fan-favorite characters. They gave Pietro the shaft though, which sucks. He could have been a big part going forward. This is still a fun blockbuster at the end of the day. Also, hulk buster was the coolest thing when this came out. This movie ended up more of a stepping stone for phase 3. This phase tried to be the Empire Strikes Back of the universe and it was hit or miss. This is still a good movie and a must-watch for the MCU.
