I know it's been a LONG time since I've written anything on here but life happened.
Yesterday I saw Age of Ultron, and without revealing any spoilers I am just going to say WOW! Marvel's still got it. This is the best Marvel movie since the first Iron Man movie!
When the first Avenger's movie came out I was super disappointed, not that it was bad it was just average. After all that time they had been hinting at doing it in the scenes after the credits of their other movies I was thinking it was going to be the greatest movie of all time, and everyone else who saw it before me said it was so my hopes were high. I really think they were rushing to get it done. With the second one now that they took their time it turned out a LOT better. Two words: character development. It felt like all of the Avengers were a main character, you were able to see inside of them a little more, and with this many people in a movie as main characters I can imagine it was no small feat to pull off. This in a nutshell is one of the two main reasons I believe the second Avengers is so good. The other reason was the story goal and threat was revealed much earlier in the film (I won't say anything more than that in case you haven't seen it yet).
I believe the main problems with the first movie is what the second got exactly right:
In the first they spent the majority of the movie arguing like a classroom of kindergartners, in the second from the very first you see them working as a team.
Loki wasn't a big enough threat in the first movie, if you think about it, Thor by himself could have taken him out by himself leaving the rest of the Avengers to take out the aliens, which by the way seemed kind of cheap, the aliens I mean. What I mean by that is they've got nobody to fight through out nearly the whole movie, so they fight each other, then just so you can get your fill of action they throw in a random army of cannon fodder aliens for a big end fight scene.
Sorry, I'm just still sort of upset about the first movie.
End rant.
The point is if you haven't seen Age of Ultron yet: DROP EVERYTHING! GO NOW!

Age of Ultron Trailer Review
If you haven't seen the trailer yet. Here you go.
You're welcome.
I prefer the extended version of the trailer 'though because of the beginning.
But enough about that. I just wanted to prove I knew what I was talking about.
Back to discussing the trailer...
THE HULK BUSTER SUIT! *drool*
This is one of them that I wondered if they would ever get around to doing. I also really hope it's in it for longer than two seconds like all the cameos of all Tony's suits in Iron Man 3. I mean come on. Each suit can only handle one punch and they burst into a million pieces, just because the guy was kinda hot? And yet before that an older suit was able to withstand and actually absorbed a lightning blast from Thor? Why didn't it fry everything?
Also when watching the extended trailer, in the beginning scene, something I realized: the only one who came close to lifting Thor's hammer. I realized it wasn't because of Cap's super strength that he budged the hammer, strength has nothing to do with it, but remember why he was chosen to receive the super soldier serum? It's because of his good, worthy, heart. Just giving someone super powers is not a thing to be taken lightly. You would want to chose well: someone who wouldn't abuse their new powers and use them for evil, but instead someone who would always use them for the good of others and to protect the innocent. That's why Steve was able to move Mjölnir.

It seems to tell a little bit more of the story of what's going on. I'm assuming Tony started tinkering and didn't know when to stop and that somehow made his suits / computer go power crazy and take on a life of their own.
Just for your information I do know my comics and yes I know Ultron was originally created by Dr. Pym, but when has any of the new Marvel movies stuck exactly with the original story? Even the first Iron Man movie there were differences. For one Stark was Iron Man for some time before coming up against Obadiah Stane / Iron Monger, Obadiah actually owned a different company before that and renamed Stark International as Stane International when he did, and when Iron Man did defeat Iron Monger Stane blew his own brains out.But enough about that. I just wanted to prove I knew what I was talking about.

And I have to say just the music playing in the background in context with Ultron, this made one of the creepiest Marvel trailers I have ever seen.
