We don't really review movies here on GameZone anymore, but for those who do — last night they were treated to an early screening of Avengers: Age of Ultron. While reviews for the highly anticipated film are embargoed for at least a few weeks still, the excitement of seeing the new film was too much to suppress. Thankfully, the media in attendance were at least able to share their feelings via social media. Sure, it's not full reviews yet, but you get a sense from the overwhelmingly positive tweets that Avengers: Age of Ultron is going to be a huge hit.

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.

Avengers: Age of Oh Yeahhhhh It's Good!

Whedon stuffs Avengers Age of Ultron with an impossible amount of great geekiness. Sometimes it feels like too much, but he pulls it off!
— Kevin P. Sullivan (@KPSull) April 10, 2015
Whedon's love of Scarlet Witch and his guilt for Hawkeye's Avengers role stand out. Both are fantastic!

#AvengersAgeOfUltron is darker, weirder and more emotional than the original. It's also the thrill ride to beat this summer.

AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON is loaded with insane action, great character moments, and funny dialogue. Joss did the impossible again.

Important to note AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON is a completely different movie than the first one. And that's why it works.

We did see the after the credits scene at the press screening tonight but I won't spoil anything here.

Avengers 2 is way more fun and great than the trailers let on.

.@Avengers #AgeOfUltron might be the most true to the comic movie ever. So many images taken right off the page that made me faint with joy.
— Alex Zalben (@azalben) April 10, 2015
No spoilers, but biggest surprises: Thor is hilarious and Scarlet Witch kicks so much ass. Rest of the #Avengers ain't too shabby, either.

While #Avengers felt like a bookend to Phase 1, #AgeofUltron definitely feels like a conduit of things to come. That being said, it rocks.
— Terri Schwartz (@Terri_Schwartz) April 10, 2015
Now it's possible that all of this glowing praise could partially be due to the adrenaline of the action-packed movie, but I'm pretty sure Avengers: Age of Ultron won't disappoint.
