At this point, what more can we really say about Marvel's hugely-anticipated sequel? We've been inundated with marketing material over the last several months and it seems like almost the entire world is waiting with baited breath to see what the studio has cooked up here. Simply put, Avengers: Age of Ultron is a sequel to one of the biggest movies of all-time and a hugely important film for Marvel, the comic book movie genre and cinema as a whole. Whatever you do, don't miss this one.

10 Moments From Avengers: Age Of Ultron That You’ll Watch Again And Again

Regardless of whether you actually like Avengers: Age of Ultron or not, the film was always going to be Marvel's crowning achievement thus far, building upon the phenomenal success of the first Avengers film. Joss Whedon had a monumental task on his hands assembling the numerous components in Age of Ultron, but even his detractors have a lot of positive things to say about the movie. With so much happening at once though, it's easy to miss certain aspects of the film the first time round, making Age of Ultron one of the most re-watchable Marvel movies yet.

The success of Loki in phase one of Marvel’s cinematic universe was hard to top, and subsequent villains have either underwhelmed or just been plain boring… oh hey Malekith! Didn’t see you there! However, once fans caught wind that James Spader had been cast to voice the psychotic robot Ultron, expectations rose exponentially.

Fortunately, Spader’s trademark wit and unnerving screen presence is captured from the very first moment Ultron arrives, crashing the Avengers’ victory party with Tony Stark’s own technology. Ultron’s first body is made from discarded Iron Man parts and his twisted appearance serves as a dark reflection of the good work that the Avengers aim to accomplish.

The most powerful moment in this scene comes when Ultron creepily sings words from the Disney song “I’ve Got No Strings” as he staggers zombie-like towards the Avengers, subverting an innocent children’s melody into something far more disturbing.

I don’t know about you, but I, for one, can’t wait to hear Thanos singing Ariel’s “Part of Your World” as he sits forlornly on his throne, watching the puny earthlings scurrying around below.
