So critics screenings for Avengers: Age of Ultron are occurring in NYC and LA tonight and first reactions are trickling in to Twitter:

Mike Ryan ‏@mikeryan 10m10 minutes ago

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.

Hawkguy getting his props.

Hawkguy getting his due

Yeah cool to hear, Renner seemed pissed to get sidelined in the first one.

The guy gets a lot of shit but I like him outside these action roles.

Do I dare dream?
 
The memes that came from it are really corny

Guess I didn't follow up on it to much. I read the first 3 I think and dug the artstyle and down to earth self-deprecating tone, but I guess I can see it veering quickly into irritating self-parody with that "brobrobro" image.

I don't believe them. Hawkeye is still the ultimate beta. He should be standing outside the action looking like:

He also called Days of Future Past a disaster and GOTG the worst movie of the year.

I think we can disregard his opinion.
 
They are ALWAYS positive.
No matter what studio it is they just line up the bloggers a few weeks early and let them light the fanboy fuse. Free advertising, fish in a barrel.

This is true. I remember the heaps of praise placed of that trash Man of Steel. Gotta wait for critical reviews.

Did you know Halo invented the FPS?

I can't wait to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron™ in IMAX© 3D℠.

Why isn't there a white history month? What's so great about black people?

When will people understand that #GamerGate is actually about ethics in video game journalism?

I don't mind gay people and all, but why do they have to take marriage from us?

"It's also the thrill ride to beat this summer."

I still can't believe people legitimately write like this.

"How was Avengers 2?"

"It was the thrill ride to beat this summer, the funniest action movie in America, and fun for the entire family!"

It's almost as if these tweeters are just spewing PR speak...

Lmao.

Anyways, I'd take the reviews lightly as the earliest critcs are almost always praising the movie no matter what. Still, hearing Hawkeye of all people has the best role and that they managed to coherently juggle everything makes everything sound pretty good.

They're just begging for trailer/box quotes.
