CAGiversary!

I was a little disappointed in the movie, to be honest. The CGI just looked hokey - with the opening action scene being particularly bad. My Sister-in-law mentioned that it reminded her of the more ridiculous Legolas shots from LOTR, and she isn't wrong. The animations seemed jerky and, at times, objects and characters moved like they didn't have any weight to them. It wasn't as noticeable after the first scene, but it took me out of the movie for a good 10 minutes or so.
As for the people mentioning the lack of Coulson... it irritated me too. But, following Joss Whedon's recent comments, we should all probably stop expecting him or his team to pop back up. Honestly, it seems Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't serve a purpose outside of its own storylines - and that's a wasted opportunity.

A few random thoughts:
Having side characters like Falcon and War Machine show up was great.
Hawkeye stole the show for me, dude was HILARIOUS. It's nice to see him with a personality for a change.
Ultron's creation was just... odd. So, the Loki pokey stick (thank you, Kevin Smith) already contained at least a partial A.I. inside of it... as well as the soul gem. That's... I dunno, the whole thing just seemed rushed. Stark's Ultron idea should have at least been eluded to in Iron Man 3.
Scarlet Witch was stunning. Quicksilver... well, I suppose Joss Whedon didn't want anyone else writing his favorite comic book character in live-action? I'm just glad Hawkeye didn't bite it, so... ehh.
Widow/Banner came out of NOWHERE. She was terrified of him in the first movie.
Why isn't this version of Steve worthy? The slight movement of Mjolnir was kind of a nice touch, but they've shown nothing to explain why he wouldn't able to lift it. I suppose Whedon just needed a way for the characters to INSTANTLY trust Vision without question, making him the only one capable of lifting it. I can't decide if that's lazy or clever.
Vision being the one to rescue Scarlet Witch was also a nice touch.
Spader's voice was great for Ultron, and I didn't expect the character to take on characteristics of Stark. That was an interesting change. The design he had for most of the movie was awful, though. The mannerisms and voice saved it.
