You know, the olssen twins were really on display in this movie. And it was a full house.

Random thoughts:
As a fan of Ultron in the comics, I liked him here. He was so sassy! And I didn't even mind his new "humanized" design once I saw it in motion. However, unlike in the comics, he never posed a credible threat to the Avengers one-on-one. Hell, Captain America was holding his own against him. They probably should have done away with "Avengers fighting huge army 2.0" and just had Ultron constantly upgrading and evolving into different bodies, getting stronger and stronger and more invincible. As is, he was kind of a pussy.
Everyone is jizzing over Hawkeye in this movie, but I don't get it. It was okay in Avengers and he was just as okay here. I really didn't care that he has a wife and kids, in fact that bit could have been cut out and the movie would have been better for it. But my gf liked that scene, so whatever.
Nice set-up for Klaw. Awful considerate of Ultron to cut his arm off for him.
The twins shockingly weren't annoying, although this Quicksilver wasn't nearly as fun as the DoFP Quicksilver. The way they handled his super-speed wasn't as good, either. But Scarlet Witch was cool, and her funbags were indeed fun.
Vision...probably done as well as he possibly could have, but he never did anything for me in the comics, and he didn't do anything for me here, either. Both he and Nick Fury just seemed awkwardly shoehorned into the movie. Especially Fury, as he really served no purpose other than to magically pull a fucking Helicarrier out of his ass at the exact right moment, which made no sense whatsoever since at the end of Winter Solider he was on the run with no resources at all. I think Sam Jackson should have sat this one out.
FRIDAY. Okay. At least she has a cute Irish accent.
Is it me, or is War Machine always portrayed as a square chump in these movies?
Enjoyed the Hulk as usual, but the romance with Black Widow was...weird and kinda came out of nowhere.
Thor has really grown on me as Hemsworth seems to have more and more fun with the role. He was really good. Looking forward to Thor: Ragnorok. It was kinda funny I guess that after the party hammer lift scene, Vision comes along and lifts that thing like it was nothing.
Fun mid-credit scene with Thanos donning the (empty) Infinity Gauntlet. However, I just think it's odd that we're at the second Avengers film and non-comic book reading people have nothing more to go on about who the fuck Thanos is than after the mid-credits scene of the first Avengers movie. Hopefully they will begin developing him more going forward since he seems to be taking a more active role in acquiring the Infinity Stones (which is what he did in the comics to begin with, as opposed to going through pawns).
Cap remains a lot of fun. Civil War should be great, especially with Spidey in the mix.
Hulk Vs. Hulkbuster was rad.

Oh we're just spoiling everything now?
Fair enough. I wish we could have had a melding of the two Quicksilvers. DOFP Powers and everything else from AOU would have been ideal.

To be fair Thanos gets some mention, not sure on screen time, but some info drops and such about him in GotG. So as long as you're watching all of the Marvel movies you're getting some info about him. I think in the second Thor movie too, he gets a little bit more info and screen time.
Can you dig it?
I don't recall him being in Thor 2 at all. However, that one dude in Guardians of the Galaxy does call him "the most powerful being in the universe" or some shit like that, so I guess that's something?
Yeah, I guess it's a little too early for that. I'll go back and put spoiler tags on my shit, nigga.

Classic.
"Oh, for God's sake..." when Hulk yanked him out of the quinjet was funny as hell.
I'm not a devious man by nature... but when you're unarmed, your tactics might gonna be downright Archimedean.
