Thought the movie was pretty good. I can't help but feel that it lacked something, I just can't put my finger on what. I hadn't watched any trailers so I went in very unspoiled. James Spader as Ultron was a love/hate thing for me the whole movie - on the one hand I think his voice is awesome and he can play evil very well but on the other hand his voice is SO distinct that every scene he was in I was seeing Raymond Reddington/James Spader and not Ultron and that was distracting. Maybe just me though.

Also it seemed so ill defined exactly how powerful Ultron was. The whole movie felt a little too iron-manny for me, maybe that's the thing I couldn't put my finger on. I think that while the concept of having an Artificial Super Intelligence is really cool, the execution could have been a bit better.

The scene where everyone is trying to pick up Thor's hammer was great - when Captain America moves it every so slightly you can see the incredulous look on Thor's face - even though nobody else seemed to think it was a big deal.

There was very little reference to S.H.I.E.L.D or the TV show but that's not too surprising. It's usually the show that reacts to the movie rather than the other way around. It also makes sense since they're moving more towards being "The Avengers" and less to being "S.H.I.E.L.D program: the avengers initiative".

Another infinity stone is revealed, and the little scene half way through the credits at the end is sick. It shows Thanos putting on the infinity gauntlet. The potential in the MCU is now growing so much that it's going to be hard not to be disappointed, but maybe just maybe they pull it off.

Also Jarvis/Vision looked liked a perfect cross between Superman and J'onn J'onzz, and seems unimaginably strong with his AI + infinity stone powers. Loved when he picked up the hammer.

Would rate it a solid 7/10. Didn't disappoint, but didn't wow me either.
