Not that this should really come as much of a surprise, but the first reactions to Avengers: Age of Ultron have surfaced tonight and as expected, they’re extremely positive. The consensus seems to be that while there’s a lot going on in the film, and a ton of characters to keep track of, director Joss Whedon seems to have pulled it all off.
Check out some of the Tweets below to see what critics are saying about the highly-anticipated sequel:
Just saw AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON. Soooooooo many characters and soooooo much going on, I can’t believe it’s coherent, let alone so fun.

And out of all the AGE OF ULTRON chaos, somehow Hawkeye gets the best role in the movie. AND the best line of the movie, maybe the series.

One more: Spader’s Ultron so much more snarky than I thought he would be. So, yeah, he’s basically James Spader. — Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) April 10, 2015
Avengers 2 is both an amazing sequel and a fantastic setup for the rest of the MCU. So nerdy in the best possible way. — Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 10, 2015
Also, the usual Avengers supporting players stand out this time. Black Widow kicks ass and Hawkeye has the best lines. — Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) April 10, 2015
#AvengersAgeOfUltron is darker, weirder and more emotional than the original. It’s also the thrill ride to beat this summer. — Drew Taylor (@DrewTailored) April 10, 2015
Avengers: Age of Ultron: An entire “phase” in Soylent brick form. More nerd plot, more spectacle, more sarcasm. Feeling good dizzy. — Matt Patches (@misterpatches) April 10, 2015
Whedon stuffs Avengers Age of Ultron with an impossible amount of great geekiness. Sometimes it feels like too much, but he pulls it off! — Kevin P. Sullivan (@KPSull) April 10, 2015
Avengers 2 is way more fun and great than the trailers let on.

.@Avengers #AgeOfUltron might be the most true to the comic movie ever. So many images taken right off the page that made me faint with joy.

No spoilers, but biggest surprises: Thor is hilarious and Scarlet Witch kicks so much ass. Rest of the #Avengers ain’t too shabby, either. — Alex Zalben (@azalben) April 10, 2015
Avengers: Age of Oh Yeahhhhh It’s Good!
