Avengers: Age of Ultron - Extinction Edition

If you like "Avengers: Age of Ultron," this is more of that movie. Deleted scenes have been expertly restored, and the result is an improved cut that benefits from additional character beats. The central problems of the movie still remain, of course (why is Jarvis not a good enough AI to defend the planet against aleins? Why is Ultron's nonsense evil plan so nonsense?), but the biggest strengths of the movie was always the interactions of the characters, and there's more of that here. My one criticism would be the Thor cave sequence: Possessed Thor is hard to understand, and despite being Infinity Stone set-up, it doesn't add anything to the movie or the Infinity Saga as a whole, so I prefer the bare-minimum theatrical version of this scene. All in all, though, a terrific fan restoration of deleted material that's superior to the official cut. Congrats to Bobson Dugnutt on a job well done!

Top-notch extended edition editing from Bobson again here, lots of fleshed-out work in the editing and VFX front. A strange movie that feels like simultaneously the most like a Real Comic Book of any of the Marvel movies but also has to act as a commercial/connective tissue to more and bigger events. It's simultaneously cozy and frenetic which is probably part of the reason why Whedon bailed on the franchise after this (I think we know where his preferences lie). Bobson manages to make the cozy/character-based sections breathe a little bit better, which is especially welcome as they aren't just dumping grounds for tired jokes (looking at you, Guardians 2, et al).

Easily the best possible version of this mish-mash movie and one that is worth living on your MCU shelf.

Perfect!
I love all of the added scenes, how it was inserted, the editing is top notch. If I didn't know about the deleted scenes, I wouldn't recognize them. I'm a sucker for extended editions of films that I already love. Definitely will recommend to anyone, like me, who are eager to do a re-watch of the whole MCU so far, and yet, wanting something different.

A great and amazing edition that does nothing but improve the original movie

Excellent integration of deleted scenes back into the original. I liked the clever ways you reintroduced/alluded to scenes with unfinished effects (i.e. Hulk and the soccer ball).

Didn't notice any issues with cuts (I did notice them because I'm familiar with the source and deleted scenes, but that's to no fault of editing)

Another great EE by Dugnutt. I look forward to the next!
