AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON has about the same problem that ANT-MAN has in this critic's opinion.  To a major extent, too much of this film feels like Marvel is just checking off entries to a list and not allowing this film to breathe on its own.  Granted, for ANT-MAN it’s more of an annoyance than anything else.  But while I do appreciate and admire the scope of what Marvel is still doing, which frankly hasn’t been attempted at this extent before, it can lead to a frustrating film-going experience for some when you can sense how much the movie wants to break away and do its own thing.
