New clips from The Avengers: Age of Ultron continue to flood the airwaves and the Internet, so let's add one more to the pile.

The cast took over Good Morning America on Friday and debuted a new clip of Black Widow and Captain America facing off with Ultron. Check it out below:

The first round of reviews for the movie has arrived, and you'll be comforted to know that those who have seen the film are wholly in support of what writer and director Joss Whedon has done with the sequel.

Here are some snippets from some of the reviews, which generally heap praise upon the film but also note the sequel's inability to outshine its 2012 predecessor.

Deadline:

"I’m happy to report the stars are all back, especially Chris Evans’ stoic Captain America, but also Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth. Also happily returning is the witty banter and interplay. And writer-director Joss Whedon has expertly ladled on lots of action, in a kind of Transformer-itis excess. But the thrill is gone. For me, it’s a been-there, done-that feeling, like watching the all-star edition of Dancing With The Stars. But does it matter if I was just a bit disappointed? I think not. Marvel and Disney have a cash cow, and nothing will keep the fans away. Much as I admire Whedon, Joe and Anthony Russo will take over the franchise’s next two installments, and I look forward to seeing what they do. Their Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a textbook example of how to take a comic-book sequel forward."

The Hollywood Reporter:

"Avengers: Age of Ultron succeeds in the top priority of creating a worthy opponent for its superheroes and giving the latter a few new things to do, but this time the action scenes don't always measure up and some of the characters are left in a kind of dramatic no-man's-land. The returning series actors acquit themselves in the expected agreeable manner, while series newcomer Andy Serkis has a terrific couple of minutes as a tough but stressed South African criminal."

Rolling Stone:

"Wait, what? Moral conundrum? What kind of escapism is this? IMO, it's the best kind, the kind that sticks with you. Whedon is the true master of the Marvel Comic universe onscreen. He won't be back when Avengers: Infinity War, Part 1 and Part 2 start shooting next year. The Russo brothers will take the helm. That makes Age of Ultron Whedon's last Avengers hurrah. And the monumental battle between gods and monsters that he stages to end the film does him proud. Bravo. [3.5/4]"
