Age of ultron Review
I went in expecting something that would not be enjoyable, and was pleasantly surprised. I felt the movie had a good flow, the right amount of humor, the backstory for Black widow was good if dark
(I would guess that my knowledge of the comic book origins of the Black Widow made it so I was not surprised at all by the movie origin), and Ultron was well acted and written.
The negatives I saw was that the CGI was at times a bit conspicuous, but it wasn't bad enough to make the movie unenjoyable like Star Wars: Episode Two: Attack of the Clones, and Quick Silver's death seemed pointless, felt flat to me, and there isn't any reason to think he will stay dead anyway.
The movie cost $8 and 2 hours and 20 minutes, no regrets.
+++++
My father felt there was too much fighting, and it was a touch grim for his tastes, but I can see where this comes from. He prefers Guardians of the Galaxy.

I was not able to figure out why someone would say that Age of Ultron was too focused on setting up future story lines?
+++++
Personal hypothesis
1) The A.I. attached to the Mind Stone was manipulating everyone in order to build an army, and Tony removing it and altering it to create Ultron actually made it less dangerous.
2) Quicksilver is not dead or will be brought back from the dead in the near future. There seemed to be very little blood loss on his part, he has an abnormal metabolism, Fury has a way to bring people back to life and they sort of worked out the bugs, and Quicksilver has a strong connection to the Inhumans in the comics, and most of all Steve did order him to walk it off if any of them were killed.
3) Baron Strucker is much nicer and well meaning man then most of his counter parts in Marvel. Wanda was able to read people's minds to a limited degree, and he showed concern for the twins well being during the movie.
4) The twins always had their powers, but the Mind Stone enhanced them. The twins just happening to have a dud fall just a few meters of them, and then be the only ones to survive enhancement implies there was always something special about them.
5) In Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. we are told that S.H.I.E.L.D. never found precogs and telepaths, but in all likely hood, they purposely failed their tests knowing about Hydra.
7) Vison can grow new body parts if he chooses, and this may lead to a subplot where he contemplates father children. He was married to the Scarlet Witch after all.

QUOTES
Steve Rogers: You get hurt, hurt 'em back. You get killed... walk it off.
Ultron: Stark asked for a savior, and settled for a slave.
The Vison: I suppose we're both disappointments.
Ultron: [laughs] I suppose we are.
The Vison: Humans are odd. They think order and chaos are somehow opposites and try to control what won't be. But there is grace in their failings. I think you missed that.
Ultron: They're doomed!
The Vison: Yes... but a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It is a privilege to be among them.
Ultron: You're unbelievably naive.
The Vison: Well, I was born yesterday.
Clint Barton: The city is flying and we're fighting an army of robots. And I have a bow and arrow. Nothing makes sense.
The Vision: I don't want to kill Ultron. He's unique... and he's in pain. But that pain will roll over the Earth. So he must be destroyed: every form he's built, every trace of his presence on the 'net. We have to act now, and not one of us can do it without the others. Maybe I am a monster. I don't think I'd know if I were one. I'm not what you are and not what you intended. So there may be no way to make you trust me.
