Kikanator really got the job done with this edit. I am no expert, but the visual and audio editing appeared flawless. I think this is probably the best overall to-the-point tightened edit of this movie. More specifically, this edit definitely gives us the best version of Ultron. Removing all of his corny dialogue solidifed the character as a proper villain. He is supposed to be a genocidal maniac, and the poor attempts at humor really made me cringe in the theatrical. Was I supposed to take this villain seriously? Great job by the editor here fixing this.

A couple of minor differences I had were that I would have preferred no romance between Bruce and Natasha because it does not every really go anywhere and it was sort of forced. I also would have liked a few extra deleted scenes in addition to the solid ones included. However, the deleted scenes are not essential to the narrative, but I think enhance the enjoyment factor.

The tightening up of the final act is something I also believe was essential. In the theatrical, it felt really dragged out. I still feel that way, but shortening it increases the believeability factor for me. When you have a city floating up into space, you really have to be pressed for time. You cannot keep the action going on forever.

I would like to thank the editor for sharing this edit with me. It was a fun watch. I strongly recommend this edit for those who are looking for a tightened version of this movie with a more serious villain.

Alright, so I just checked out "Avengers: Age Of Ultron - The De-Whedoned Cut", and let me tell you, it's pretty much my go-to version now.

Major props to the Kikanator96 for taking out the forced humor that had me cringing in the original. The movie flows way better without those distractions, letting the serious moments actually land. The pacing is on point now. It feels like you can really get into the story without being yanked around emotionally.

For me, this one is perfect, & if you're like me and would have appreciated a movie more focused on the heavy stuff the Avengers deal with, this is the version of "Age of Ultron" you've been waiting for!

So this review is long over due. My sincerest apologies to the creator as to life things just got in the way, and I intend on fixing that. Without further ado here is my review:

In an age where Joss Whedon's legacy is swept under the rug, so to speak. It pains me to see his fall from grace because, my parents had shown me Firefly and became a fan of his ever since. Buffy took a long time for me to appreciate, but now it is one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows of all time. Fast forward to 2011-ish, where I read the news that he is to direct The Avengers. I couldn't have been more excited. I don't think I need to describe how much of a phenomenon that movie was to me and the general public.

So Age of Ultron comes out when I was 15 and loved it as a kid. Years later, I am pointed out some corny humor (even by Whedon standards) and even some "problematic" jokes. Some were right to be pointed out and some weren't. When Joss Whedon is at his best, he knows how to perfectly weave drama and humor. I would be lying, however, if I said that the humor overstayed it's welcome in this entry. I would still argue for what it does right it does very very well. It is definitely an underrated entry in The Infinity Saga line of movies (from Iron Man to Far From Home). All I can really say beyond this is, "Thank you" to the creator. The edit is now my go to when revisiting The Infinity Saga line of movies. All of the bad quips and moments are gone, the dramatic beats are stronger and the movie is now made better. Thank you Kikanator96. If I was an agent, I would hire you to edit modern Marvel movies. Lord knows that they need it.

I remember being so excited for the second Avengers, only to leave the theater in disgust. I hadn't watched the movie since seeing it back in 2015, but when I heard that there was an edit that toned town everything I loathed, I decided to give it a chance. While still a flawed film, this edit is a huge improvement over the original. This is the only version people should watch. Great work!
