I actually liked Age of Ultron quite a lot, maybe even more than the first Avengers movie. Which surprised me because I feel like I heard nothing but bitching about it. But it's by far the most interesting villain we've had so far. I hope/assume the conflict about Tony's role in that will continue.
I loved the fugitives on the lam feel of it and the way all of the interpersonal connections are getting more complex.
I love that we don't know much about Clint because he's actually kind of normal. That is awesome. And his talk with Scarlet Witch about whether or not she's going to rejoin the fight was the best scene of the whole movie.
I liked Romanov and Banner. The execution admittedly wasn't great, but I think there's a lot in there that's pretty interesting.
And then I watched Ant Man which was, indeed quite good. Though I'm getting annoyed every time I have to take a break from the main storyline to sit through yet another origins story. And the more of these you sit through in a row the more hideously boring every set up of powerful thing that could destroy everything and antagonist who wants it for themselves gets. Every time Michael Douglass came on scene I nearly phased out: you made a thing, some other guy wants it, blah, blah, blah fishcakes.
Scott's criminal friends were amazing, though. Give them a movie. And this is by far the most interesting super hero power mechanism of any of them. Like: there's a set of rules and you win through applying them in creative ways. That's the way to make me want to watch a fight scene.
