The weekend is over, the numbers are in and ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ has fallen $20M short of the opening weekend of its predecessor but not one to be knocked the film has still taken an incredibly impressive $187.7M over the course of its opening weekend. Back in 2012 ‘Avengers’ (minus the ‘Assemble’) took a whopping $207.4M in its opening weekend setting the record for the biggest opening weekend of all time at the US box office. ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ will now hold the title of the second biggest opening weekend of all time. Internationally the film has now…

I’m going to pre-face this review by saying that I genuinely enjoyed 2012’s ‘Avengers’ or as we know it here in the UK ‘Avengers Assemble’ but there is no doubt that ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ is ten times the film that its predecessor was.

We’ve seen releases of more footage for ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ and had our very first glimpse of the upcoming ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ almost 12 months prior to its release. In amongst all of those hotly anticipated trailers came the release of the second trailer for Fox’s upcoming ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot by ‘Chronicle’ director Josh Trank. Billed as a ‘contemporary reimagining’ of the team which debuted…
