Very surprised by the Banner/Romanoff bit. I knew there was going to be something, but this? Came completely out of left field, for me. Was really hoping they'd be given a chance at the end of the film, but alas...
The mindfuck scenes were well done; I honestly felt sad for Cap, and Natasha... That's some fucked up shit. And I'm surprised she offered to run off with Bruce. I guess she was more affected by what Wanda did to her than was apparent.
Clint was much more fleshed out here, and I was glad to see it. He seemed like a Ultimate!Hawkeye mixed with 616!Hawkeye's snark. Also? Cute kids. (Loved it when Natasha jokingly called the unborn Barton 'traitor'.
) The Hawkeye/Widow Bro'ship was strong here, and I liked it.
The party scene was cool. Poor Rhodey; he gets no respect from the 'real' superheroes... Maria Hill was in fine form, given her little screen time compared to the others.
Funniest moment: Tony apologizing after knocking out the Hulk's tooth.
Ultron was very well done, both as being acted by Spader and in design. I'm kind of hoping we see him again, in some form.
Vision... well designed. Bettany really brought him to life, did justice to the role, IMO. And kudos to the scriptwriters for the way they had Ultron create the Vision. I simply did
not expect an organic android.
And Wanda pointing out that Ultron was essentially Tony Stark in digital form... well, now we know how
Civil War is going to start...
Amazing special effects, especially with the city in the final act. And the new Avengers HQ was neat looking. I did love the final scene, with Cap and Natasha looking down on the 'new recruits'. But dammit Whedon, you cut Cap off at the best part! ... Ah well, there's always
Infinity War...
