While the film itself isn't a huge disappointment; Ultron himself is. Whedon made plenty of mean looking bad guys intimidating; yet surprisingly darkly funny in the past. Here; Ultron just says a one liner and is blown up over and over again. Ultron with an evil version of "No Strings On Me" played in the trailers I think was great. In the movie though they left out the evil version of the song and you actually hear Pinocchio singing the song. Which was more silly than creepy. I also didn't buy the Black Widow and Banner forced romance. Johansson had better chemistry with Chris Evans in Winter Soldier. We also didn't need the action slowed down to reveal Hawkeye has a family. The film would have been better if Joss Whedon alone didn't write the script. Ultron himself needed to be more intimidating. I don't think Whedon knows how to write that kind of villain.
