Summary

Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton seek to destroy killer robot Ultron following a cataclysmic event.

Our Take

A genuinely bleak hour that lets Ultron’s apocalypse breathe instead of rushing to fix it. The fight scenes are the best of the season, and Natasha and Clint’s worn-down chemistry gives the destruction some weight. The ending leans on a twist that sets up more than it resolves, but the ride there is dark, fast, and worth your time.
