Watched this at premiere, forgot to give comment. I don't have much expectation with the movie, but Age of Ultron turns out to be a really disappointing popcorn flick. I actually like the character developments, only that the movie gives us too many character developments, too many subplots, that each of them don't seem to be connected to each other except that they are all in Avengers. I like the personal, intimate touch on Hawkeye's family and Natasha-Bruce actually, but those subplots feel too really detached with other subplots going on--and especially with the main plotline.
Also for an Avengers movie this one is too flat-out comical in that they put too much jokes, to the point it's distracting and ruining the character development. E.g., what's with the HYDRA's official acting comically coward and with Ultron, who have been developed in the whole movie to be a fearless, despicably intelligent cruel machine, in the end turned to be a desperately opportunist who begs for mercy? The fearmongering Ultron is reduced to a comical character just because a single scene! Also the really unnecessary twist involving the sacrifice one character is really unnecessary and should have been put later in the movie as a prime motivation for the other character to be involved in the fight.
