While the film won’t make its debut until May 1 (in the United States), some critics in Los Angeles recently had Avengers: Age of Ultron screened for them and they shared their quick thoughts via Twitter and so far the response is very positive.

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

#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 2 is both an amazing sequel and a fantastic setup for the rest of the MCU. So nerdy in the best possible way.

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
