6) IRON MAN SMASH!
Early promotional material focused heavily on Tony Stark’s use of his new Hulkbuster armour, which basically looks like Iron Man piled on the pounds Christian Bale style for an award baiting role. Unfortunately for the hi-tech superhero though, an Oscar win probably isn’t on the cards any time soon.
Let’s face it, there’s nothing better than superheroes mindlessly fighting each other for the flimsiest of reasons, so understandably, a lot of the hype surrounding Avengers: Age of Ultron circled around the fight between Stark and an enraged Hulk. Those expecting Banner to ‘Hulk Smash’ Stark into an Iron Man shaped smudge on the wall may be surprised by how balanced the fight is between the two, despite Tony’s obvious reluctance to battle his friend and ally.
There are many standout moments from this particular encounter, but the one that stays in your mind longest after the credits have rolled is the scene where Stark jack-hammers the Hulk repeatedly in the face, desperately pleading with him to go to sleep. Many critics deride Avengers: Age of Ultron for being less light-hearted than the first film, but rare moments like this still raised a lot of laughter.
